Wood expensive again. Oh well.

 

[Aidan11]

Well done Woody.

Always knew he'd get a wicket.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Marnus Watson reviewing again. Surprise.

 

[Ashes81]

Great comeback from Woody - vital wkt

 

[kevinw]

Enough garbage gets you a wicket eventually I

 

[Prince EWS]

aus not WC worthy

Yeah get Scotland in there.

 

[chris.hinton]

Boom. You can rely on Australia to be plonkers against the woeful England.

We will knock off any target that they will set

 

[chris.hinton]

@Burgey is getting worried that Australia aren't going to make the Semi finals

 

[Burgey]

Have a to be a decent chance Carey comes back for Inglis in the next game. The boot licker has done nothing of note so they’d be no worse off and Carey’s keeping is way better.

 

[chris.hinton]

Stonis will struggle against Rashid. It might be shocking for viewers

 

[chris.hinton]

What a minute New Zealand got 400 lol

 

[Owzat]

Have you seen him bowl recently? Struggling to get the ball on the pitch consistently.

there's a reason he's in and out of the 50+ overs formats, in theory could be better batting and only a little weaker than Woods, and of course being left-arm helps his cause, but if he were an obvious pick he'd be in there if only because of his leftiness which England go for left out over left arm in his case

(ODI career, 22 average with bat, handy and handy SR, 30 wkts @ 39.00, ER 6.09, no shock he's not in, bowling average away is 49.69 and ER 6.41, yet another silly selection)

They could put their feet up from here and still make it.

I mean, they’re a terrible side by Aus WC standards, but will still win it pretty easily. They’ve got the wood on NZ, SA will choke as always and India will buckle under the pressure of trying to win it at home.

We’re pretty much home and hosed tbh. Which I think is counterproductive to the format in australia medium term, but it never hurts to add another one to the cabinet

 

[Aidan11]

Stoinis glad to be off strike v Rashid.

 

[mackembhoy]

I was very surprised that was three reds.

Looked like it was missing comfortably.

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

long held misgiving that he is good, which in Tests he is (well under 30 average anyway) and T20is, and of course the belief he is the quickest bowler with deadliest bounce/short ball even though he is heading if not reached 40 average

Yeah, ODIs are Wood's weakest format by far. With hindsight lucky that his best ODI bowling came in the home WC.

I thought it was as well

 

[Owzat]

3 wides in one over? Really?

EDIT
No wonder Labuschagne was shocked to get a straight one.

I am wondering if tic tac Butthead shouldn't just give his bowlers 2 overs then change, 2 overs then change, as his one "winning formula" seems to be bowl somebody and when you bring them back they get a wicket out of nowhere, albeit little too little, little too late probably

hallelujah, Rashid back on, should have bowled him through. aussies now in what I'd call "strike range" for their lower order, Wood has probably ended much hope of 300 but 16 overs and Cummins and Starc still to come reckon England will be facing 240-250 minimum unless the aussies take Rashid too lightly or someone else pulls a rabbit out of the hat

Sam C is a T20 pick only. The longer the format, the further away from selection he should be.

We are letting the Club Cricketer get some runs
