32nd Match - England v Australia

[morgieb]

Not the best rendition of 'Smoke on the Water' I've ever heard, including my own.

Sounded more like Money For Nothing.

 

[Burgey]

Scratch my previous, 382.

Fmd Stephen. Come on mate

 

[GotSpin]

Good, the hack is out

 

[aussie tragic]

Massive boos for Smith...good will make him star

 

[quincywagstaff]

Above all else I think Nasser needed that wicket. Sounded like he was at a funeral at the start of this stint.

 

[Top_Cat]

Was about to say not surprised that as soon as Stokes got the ball, things tightened up. Hasn't taken many wickets but been England's stingiest bowler all tourney.

Well 343 might have been more realistic but I want to cheer every run.

Alternatively it could be seen as a sledge on Khawaja

 

[Groundking]

346

Have they though

 

[morgieb]

Weldone definitely looks the favourite. None of Smith, Carey or Stoinis are real carnage from ball 1 players so I'm not convinced we'll get 350 from here.

EDIT: Didn't see jaideep's prediction. I'm thinking more like 325-330 is a likely score.

 

[Starfighter]

Yeah, don't need that sort of runout here.

 

[Burgey]

Does Stokes typically bowl at the death? He’s been very good today. If he was our fifth bowler we’d be nigh unbackable to win the whole thing is

 

[stephen]

No run there Nasser.
