2nd Semi Final - Australia v England

[DriveClub]

This match is good as over, don't have the bowling depth other semi finalists have.

Best commentator in Cricket right now. Why have the slips been removed for Dorf?

From a batting perspective it's him...followed by Sanga.

Bishop is way ahead of these guys

 

[trundler]

Wheels falling.

Too straight them too full. Bairstow not wasting anything.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Well this is a nice start. Just what we needed.

 

[Howe_zat]

Atherton sounds like he's drunk

I don't blame him.

 

[stephen]

Absolutely no movement on offer for either Behrendorff or Starc. Cummins doesn't get it anyway. But all the English bowlers were getting swing.

Have the English discovered the wonders of sandpaper?

Kiwis have to win the final for the former colonies. British imperialists have to be avenged. Kane Skywalker will defeat Darth Morgan in a bat Saber battle

 

[SkyBlue]

Damn, how good South Africa would have been if they had Roy and De Kock up top

(random comment I know)

 

[trundler]

That was a pretty good toss to lose, eh. Come on clouds. Gather round and give something to Starc.

Oceania will then be the centre of the cricketing universe and India will be mad. Wonderful.

Is Starc unfit? Has looked very ordinary over the last two games.

This one looks done. Realistically chases like the India one tend to be the anomaly rather than the norm for low targets.

You know what would have helped Australia in this match. Less Victorians stinking up the joint. Handscomb ous a useless waste of space when the ball is doing anything. Maxwell is adept at getting out. Stoinis is batting too low and too terribly, which funnily enough is much like his record for Victoria. Most overrated cricketer in the country on the back of a single knock in a loss.

So let's drop the Victorians for good, write them off as a bunch of no hopers and pick some better players.

As the spokesperson for Indian fans I can say very few of us if any will be mad if NZ win.

 

[SkyBlue]

Roy probably is the most aesthetically pleasing England(South African) batsmen I have watched tbh

Pretty sure Stoinis is a Waussie, but I agree with the sentiment anyway.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Best opening pair in the world these two.

 

[trundler]

This is like that IPL innings where Smith scored 72 off 60 as the rest collapsed. Then the other team cruised home.

RANDI's yeah, but I bet the majority of the ICF/Facebook types are still salty.

Though compared to Pakistan.....

 

[stephen]

Pretty sure Stoinis is a Waussie, but I agree with the sentiment anyway.

He moved back there after stinking up the Victorian side for years, averaging in the 20s with the bat and 30s with the ball.

But you're right, he's in this team because he's from WA.
