2nd Match - Australia v England

[Crazy Sam]

Whether on 0 or 130, that was dreadful running between wickets. Finch could've had a double ton.

Will maintain Arun is still a hack.

Harsh. Not everyone can be as good as Rohit Sharma.

What does India's fast bowler have to do with this game?

**** me they could get 400 here - wish I'd stayed asleep

 

[Prince EWS]

I disagree. Marsh hardly bowls all that much more than Watto does. And bats far lower down the order. He's the obvious one to go imo.

Watson's OD bowling has gone completely to **** in the last couple of years. Mitch Marsh is now a much better bowler in this format.

Watson's still a better batsman than Bailey though. Don't care if Bailey tons up here. Watson hasn't been as good in ODIs since he moved to #3 but he hasn't been anywhere near as bad with the bat as people seem to think; classic case of people letting his Test form influence their opinion.

Redundant argument now really. Important wicket.

 

[Antihippy]

Goddamit, needed more from Bailey.

Nah... they're 4 down. Maxwell's a hack and Bailey is too these days. Wouldn't be surprised with a collapse.

Edit: And there you go...5 down.

I am getting unreasonably angry about this wth.

More crowd noise. More leather on willow. Less saturation. Less faces on screen.

*Fewer faces.

Otherwise agreed - looks like a typical Star Sports broadcast with abysmal production values.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Dammit I'm noticing the weird crowd noise a lot more after it was pointed out here.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

I'm glad they have those faces on the screen constantly, it helps me to identify the batsmen under their helmets.

They put a triangle in the square of the batsman who's on strike as well.

 

[Cabinet96]

One of the reasons I like Maxwell is he can go from ball one. These are wasted balls from Mitch if he doesn't get going now.

That stat about us being 2nd worst in the last 10 overs, i'd take only conceding 80 today.

I claim the credit for both

They put a triangle in the square of the batsman who's on strike as well.

It's cool how the colour of the triangle blends in with the rest of the graphic so it doesn't stand out as being important or anything.
