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

[Spark]

Especially without Smith

Smith isn't actually the batsman I'd want most in this scenario honestly. That honour goes to Shane Watson.

Jofra will do well to win consecutive MOTM's from here tbh.

What if he bowls fast though?

Stoinis' "aw no" was comparable imo

 

[wpdavid]

OK, Morgan is a genius.

roooot!!

That's a ****ing Jaffa from root jeez

 

[Jack1]

I saw a stat that Mitch Marsh averages 32 vs pace and 55 vs spin. But the comms keep claiming he bats better against pace. Long term shows otherwise.

Good ball from Root. Big wicket. Think Warner played it quite badly though.

Got him. Root causing mayhem. Australia in big **** now

 

[MW1304]

Root the Destroyer.

Swear his bowling has been better than his batting for the last year or so. That's hyperbole, but not by as much as it should be.

 

[Nintendo]

Game over. Aus don't win from here.

 

[Pothas]

Root taking wickets is almost as fun as Broad making runs.

 

[a massive zebra]

As a bowler at the current time

Joe Root > Moeen Ali

They also like to claim Carey is significantly better against spin than pace, even that it's a strength of his.

This doesn't bear out either.

I would take Root's pair of wickets and run if I were Morgan. Would take him off to give Rashid a chance to put a proper spell together

 

[honestbharani]

Labu can still do something special here. Gotta keep the faith, y' Aussies.

But Carey is a left hander. More chance Rashid comes on at the other end IMO.

I would keep Root on he’s taken two wickets. He deserves to get at least a few more overs.

shocking running from these two. Chance earlier in over missed and now the run out.

 

[MW1304]

Aussies have been asking for that all series. So many singles that weren't there.

They're lucky our aim has been shite for the most part.

Of course, you can't help it when you and your team mate get yourself out.

 

[wpdavid]

Root vs Maxwell may be a brave call.

 

[MW1304]

Root vs Maxwell may be a brave call.

Think they can squeeze another over or two out of him, they really can't afford to get out to him at this stage.
