****Official Australia in England 2020 (Non-Ashes)*****

[honestbharani]

Buttler is just killing this game being a contest. Unless Morgan's injury is worse than it seems, Australia need something magical to get back in this.

Why isn't there anyone covering the reverse sweep? Daft

 

[honestbharani]

Coz then he will just slog sweep him to the side of the leg side whom you moved to cover the reverse sweep.

Why is Malan's place ever in question in T20Is?

Root fans. Malan has cemented his place in the side. No room for Root.

 

[Prince EWS]

There's something deeply sad about watching someone come on as a frontline bowler and getting reverse swept to backward point for four second ball.

If they were a part-timer they'd just be yanked after their solitary over. Agar seems predetermined to end up with 2 overs 0/20 here.

At the clear risk of an obvious jinkx, who is going to get to 50 first?

Agar?

 

[weeman27bob]

Sorry

Another good knock, Aussies have inroad though. Banton done nothing as a middle order player in T20Is.

 

[Howe_zat]

England almost into the position Aus got to in the last game.

 

[honestbharani]

Well done, weeman.

Yeah but Buttler > Warner and I think that will be the difference.

Look he got the wicket but this is still happening and it still looks like it's shelling peas.

 

[Groundking]

Butler's not even really trying here.

I mean it's hardly the first time Buttler has reverse swept a bloke is it? He bowled ok there really just some great shots.

 

[BoyBrumby]

On the rare occasion Warne makes a good point (even a stopped clock gives the right time twice a day and all that) he then ruins the effect by repeating exactly the same fecking point three times before the end of the over.

 

[Nintendo]

Buttler is on a different level in white ball, phenomenal player.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

there seemed to be a bit of variable bounce when the Aussies batted but now it seems like they just weren't reading Wood and Jordan well

 

[91Jmay]

Banton isn't ready yet. Better openers than him and he can't play in middle order. Dumb shot.

Haha I've got no real gripe with Agar as a T20 bowler or even how he's bowled, but I think bowling orthodox finger spin to Buttler on a pitch that isn't ragging is nigh on futile. He's just playing with him.

He's picked up Banton as I type though. Maybe the plan is just to get everyone else out. Buttler 70*.
