32nd Match - England v Australia

[Spark]

Archer is utterly braindead with the bat, just swings wildly at everything. That shot was never on.

You need 10+ an over, "swings wildly at everything" is fair enough IMO.

 

[Spark]

But yeah this is turning into a completely dominant performance.

Someone on CricInfo said that England and South Africa have effectively swapped places this WC. Pretty apt.

 

[Burgey]

Great job Dorf. Always rated him

 

[OverratedSanity]

Apart from that meh finish to their first innings, Australia have been as good as you can be here. Scary stuff for the other contenders.

 

[Groundking]

Predictable really, I'd be amazed if we beat either India or New Zealand.

After this world cup I'd like to see the end of Morgan as captain.

 

[Burgey]

Good enough to bat 6 in most sides IMO. His bowling is very threatening when conditions suit.

Based on their past two games, he’s good enough to bat six in his current side.,

 

[trundler]

5fer for Dorf. This is just not fair.

 

[trundler]

Great job Dorf. Always rated him

He didn't exactly go at 7s today..

Oh shush it. India thumped them. India still have the best bowling attack by far. Best top order too.

 

[ajdude]

that was a very unfortunately placed on-screen graphic over warner there.

 

[King Pietersen]

That was embarrassing. Dreadful performance.

Only got 5. Plonker.

 

[Burgey]

That’s an absolute hammering. Out thought, out played, out selected. Just need to bat TPC at three and sort out the lower batting order and we’re pretty much home and hosed for a sixth title.

 

[Top_Cat]

That was embarrassing. Dreadful performance.

So absolutely all of the Aussie plans coming off played no role. Got it.

 

[Burgey]

Oh shush it. India thumped them. India still have the best bowling attack by far. Best top order too.

How much start will you give me if they play in the final?

 

[ajdude]

i can’t wait for langer to go with
Warner
Finch
Khawaja
SMarsh
Smith
Carey
Coulter-Nile
Starc
Richardson
Zampa
Behrendorff

next game

 

[Member Berry]

australia made this look far too easy in the end. starc and behrendorff were great but the aussie openers deserve the most credit imo, that was a tough deck to bat on first up.

 

[ankitj]

With Behen Aussie bowling has improved too. Damn why do rest of the teams even bother to show up at world cups.

Morgan should be sacked as captain. England batting is overrated definitely. However not so bad that they can't even qualify for semis at home. If Roy is not coming back next match, probably Buttler/Moeen should open. Buttler is not doing much now a days under pressure. Anyways even if Roy comes back England are done and dusted as can't see this team beating both India and NZ.

Tomorrow's match is very interesting now. If Pak pulls upset over NZ then Pak will make to the semis.
