***Official*** Australia in England 2018

[GoodAreasShane]

Not a great start from Sam Curran, too full and floaty.

 

[Borges]

This is a good start by the Australians. C'mon Aussies, just clobber these guys.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Decent start by the crims. Good of them to finally turn up against a 3rd string attack.

 

[Borges]

Right, that's the way to go. Give this Root the full treatment.

 

[91Jmay]

Good to see we’ve gone charitable with our bowling attack. It might be worse than the Crims, which is saying something

Can't understand why we changed it. Not like Curran or Ball will be in the world cup squad anyway if we have a fit squad.

Just arrogance. Have to settle for another 4-1.

Overconfidence/complacency. Always happens when we're well on top of an opposition, it's why whitewashes are so rare for us. We're not good frontrunners.

Arun Finch against spin is hilarious

 

[MW1304]

Moeen quietly having his best ever ODI series with the ball.

 

[Starfighter]

For pete's sake.

 

[Borges]

Alas! This is not going well for Australia now.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

That might put the brakes on. Head can just carry on with see ball hit ball but 3 or 4 down in opening 15 overs would be a bad start.

 

[quincywagstaff]

To paraphrase Lisa Simpson, is it just me or is Australian batsmen against spin getting worse?

 

[Spikey]

good thing for him that he's from WA because otherwise I'd say Stonis has ****ed up his chance to secure his spot in the team

 

[Starfighter]

Seriously, what was the logic behind Stoinis coming in three? It's not like Marsh has scored two centuries this series. Is it because Marsh is a leftie and Moeen happened to be bowling at the time?

 

[Top_Cat]

Sean Marsh, two tons at number 3 this series - better give slugger Stoinis a go there and move him to 4.

It’s the one thing that’s working ffs.

 

[Starfighter]

Oh FFS.

 

[Borges]

Is it because Marsh is a leftie and Moeen happened to be bowling at the time?

Yup. I think so. I'm beginning to see why this Langer might be a terrible idea,

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Head goes softly again after getting in and not going on.
