***Official***Match #36 - Australia vs England - November 4th - Ahmedabad

[Ashes81]

We've been waiting since the Bangladesh win for us to click and show our true form.

But the more games we've played, the worse we've got.

Whilst we can win, we're very much 2nd favourites. I'd love us to bat first and make a really competitive score. However, if we lose early wickets this could be another hammering.

The Aussies are weakened without Maxwell and Marsh and we need to make that count.

We're out of the WC and this is our last chance to gain some crumbs of comfort from this debacle of a title defence.

Come on England

Wouldn't mind an Australian win as they are stronger and they are going to qualify for semis regardless of the result of this match.

not until you do this.....

Jos wins the toss and decides to field.

Cummins would have batted anyway.

Stupid decision.

 

[Aidan11]

Stupid decision.

Yep. It's like he's doing this just to p*** everybody off.

 

[King Kane]

Stupid decision.

He's just trying to give the crowd some value for money, if England had batted first there is a danger this match could have been over in a few hours.

 

[Athlai]

Gotta let warner bat for the milestone

I reckon England are a very good shout against this Aus line up, mostly because of Maxwell’s bowling of all things. Think the ball coming on will suit them pretty well

 

[Athlai]

England only have spite to play for, which I believe is a strength of the English

 

[King Kane]

Hoping England can cause an upset here but with their current form I wouldn't be betting on it even without Maxwell and Marsh.

 

[Aidan11]

Not a boundary.

 

[Gob]

Lol that's 4

 

[Aidan11]

Head is not going to hang around.

Openers are the key

 

[Aidan11]

A wicket already.

 

[Jfry]

Pretty woeful innings that

 

[GIMH]

Into the tail now, should be a cakewalk from here

 

[morgieb]

Ouch. Big wicket early. So much of our batting recently has been down to the openers...

 

[King Kane]

Go Woakes go broke, Head on his bike.
