We're under par unless Starc rips through them early

Certainly possible.

Australia playing with house money here. Didn't expect them to go this deep on tournament so it's already a success....having said that, hate the poms so I hope we wreck them. O hope it drizzles a bit here.

Scene appears set for a magnificent England choke.

congrats to australia for scoring two runs more than us in the semi

Behrendoff got a 5-fer at Lord's. Starc is Starc and Cummins can be handy too.

Won't be easy but if England can't chase 224 with that batting lineup, they'll probably never win a world cup tbh. Won't get a better chance than this to finally win the entire thing.

Scene appears set for a magnificent England choke.

Low 200s totals are just the proper range where lots of batsmen can get complacent about the RR and quickly see it balloon out of control. Kind of totals which usually lend themselves magnificently to nervy shots and run outs.

Okay we’re stuffed

Least we know that Smith is still the best

223 under par but knockouts do odd things. While England could easily chase this down in the 35th over quick wickets will make this interesting. Starc has to be on the money from ball one.

Big call to suggest it's a par 446 wicket

[Shri]

are you talking about cricket

What’s par here? Are conditions as tricky as the Ind NZ game (which I’d have said par 270)

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Fk we're gonna lose this

Hopefully, then the ashes too.

Smith equalling Sachin for most ever 50+ scores in WC KO games (from 3 less WCs) is a telling stat.

Looks pretty quick. It's not turning as hard as it did in the New Zealand game but it's not a complete road.

 

[BSM]

Will Carey keep? Assume he will but the blow looked nasty and could have potentially broke his jaw. Thought it was a really brave innings in that regard

Cherry picking tales?

By par do we mean a winning score or an expected score
