32nd Match - England v Australia

[Burgey]

Eewwwww the human carcinoma that is James Sutherland is in the crowd.

 

[Burgey]

Surely Smith in next anytime between now and over 35.

 

[91Jmay]

Rashid vs these two could be carnage.

 

[trundler]

Surely Smith in next anytime between now and over 35.

He deserves to feast on English mediocrity after how he bailed them out against WI

 

[Spark]

Feels weird to watch an Australian side consistently stick to a logical batting plan and execute it well, even if it's not always the plan we want

 

[Spark]

Wish he was in this form last home summer

In fairness, Bumrah is pretty much the last bowler you'd want to face as Finch.

 

[trundler]

Half trekker.

England imploding.

 

[Burgey]

Adil Zampa with a less than wonderful first over

 

[Spark]

Not a lot of intensity in the field out there atm from England

 

[trundler]

Rashid vs these two could be carnage.

Good call.

The last 25 minutes makes me think back to the pre-WC title of the Switch Hit podcast: 'How do England NOT win the World Cup?'

 

[Burgey]

That’s the best opening partnership of the tourney given the conditions, the opposition and the occasion.

 

[King Pietersen]

This is becoming difficult to watch now. Something needs to happen quickly.

 

[Groundking]

The decision to bowl looks worse by the minute. **** off Morgan you're braindead decision to bowl is going to knock us out of the world cup here.

 

[trundler]

Warner hasn't upset Australia's opening combo, has he?..

 

[Zinzan]

You'd want to promote Smith over Khawaja after this start wouldn't ya?

 

[Spark]

The decision to bowl looks worse by the minute. **** off Morgan you're braindead decision to bowl is going to knock us out of the world cup here.

What they did once they bowled is more of a problem than the decision to bowl itself

Yeah it’s been a great template for these conditions

there was a fair amount in it for the bowlers though. not his fault the bowlers didn't take advantage. finch and warner deserve a lot of credit as well.

We've failed miserably in both our attempts to chace in this world cup, so why try doing that again?
