Y would u do that???...y would you take wicket of bell!!!

 

[King Pietersen]

First 2 power play overs gone and only one of the twelve balls has gone for more than a single. It's cr*p

Don't worry, they're gonna score 250 in the last 10.

Oh wait, Bell's gone as well. Reasonable knock, shame he couldn't kick on and make a big hundred.

 

[Howe_zat]

Who invited Bhogle into the box? He should stick to writing articles on cricinfo that I don't read.

God he's appalling. Talking about Bell's strike rate like it's cast in stone.

You'd think he'd never seen an ODI before.

 

[kingpin]

Can you stop making ****ing ******** posts, it's annoying reading them.

u can block me

 

[Furball]

38 overs 180 runs wow with just 2 wickets lost

Yes, I can read a scorecard thanks.

Because oddly enough, having a settled batsman for the last 10 overs of an ODI is a bad idea.

 

[Spark]

well that's handy

 

[Furball]

Hey, here's what happens when set batsmen get out.

 

[kingpin]

Yes, I can read a scorecard thanks.

Don't show ur frustration on me!!! I can post whatever i want,if it is not violating this forum rules...Deal with it!!!

Root gone as well. Surprise, surprise, we're in a terrible position with 10 to go, and relying on Morgan and Buttler to save us.

england really is doing a dohni - only works chasing

could be an exciting chase if we keep it under par, may have a chance here

4/189 isn't terrible. not ideal, sure, but not terrible.

it does show the risks of this strategy, though.

edit: bopara in? uh

 

[King Pietersen]

FFS. Bopara? Are they serious? Should have been Buttler, give him a bit of a chance to get settled before having to blast!

 

[NUFAN]

I feel as though Australia has actually bowled very well in the last what 7 or so overs.

faulkner's bowled well. starc less so.

They have but they'll get no credit because people seem to forget that batting lineups can't just blast as many runs as they want whenever they want.

 

[uvelocity]

out hahahah

 

[Spark]

hahahahahahahahaha that's glorious

196 runs on the board with 10 overs to go is not terrible.
