***Official*** Australia in England 2018

[stephen]

Agar has bowled 3 dots in a row. We're going to see Ali get a seven wicket haul tonight aren't we?

 

[stephen]

That 6 went into the stratosphere.

 

[Starfighter]

Richardson's gonna need to gain like an extra 6 km/h if he wants to bowl those. And maybe bowl more towards off.

 

[Jack1]

Nathan Lyon should be playing in my view. He is Australia's best spinner probably in all formats. It's surprising to see he has played so few limited overs games.

 

[stephen]

That is as plumb as they get.

 

[Starfighter]

That is as plumb as they get.

****.

 

[stephen]

Or apparently not. I still can't believe how much that was missing by.

 

[StephenZA]

How is that missing?

 

[stephen]

Honestly if you're not going to get that as an LBW you might as well not bother.

 

[Jack1]

Australia are getting spanked so far. 67/0 off 9.

 

[trundler]

That Bairstow LBW looked plumb as can be. I'm shocked it was missing

 

[Starfighter]

Oh FFS.

 

[stephen]

Honestly this is why England won't win the WC. Another day that LBW is hitting and that catch is taken and a collapse starts.

 

[StephenZA]

How is that missing?

Looking at the replay you can see how wide the ball is when delivered.... still looked plumb on first viewing.

Not good Aus fielding that.....

 

[Jack1]

Not sure how Bairstow isn't higher up in the ICC ODI batting rankings. He's averaging over 50 in career and SR is over a run a ball

 

[Starfighter]

Honestly this is why England won't win the WC. Another day that LBW is hitting and that catch is taken and a collapse starts.

The won't win when what happened at the Champions Trophy or Adelaide happened - they encounter a pitch with just a hint of life or off-pace-ness (?) and their batting goes to pieces. Wither than or their bowling gets spanked.

 

[stephen]

I just watched that review again a dozen times. I'm still not sure how it was missing so much. Bairstow must be eighteen foot tall.

 

[social]

Tye is another Mick Lewis

Just crap at this level and embarrassing we’re fielding a bowler like him

can't argue with technology mate

 

[Starfighter]

I reckon maybe we need a wrist spinner, but then again Zampa was awful near the end. Although this surface seems to be beige coloured billiard table.
