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

[Athlai]

To read most of my compatriots you’d think Australia were 350-2. I’d say it’s in the balance

Yeah 270-300 seems chaseable?

 

[slowfinger]

i dont think england will back themselves to chase anything upwards of 270 tbh with their confidence atm

Obviously our batting hasn’t shown that sort of capability of late. But on this deck it’s definitely doable if they bat as they can.

 

[GIMH]

Not a good look for Green there

 

[Aidan11]

The man without a contract takes a wicket.

 

[Burgey]

Lol why tf would green do that

 

[Athlai]

250-270

 

[King Kane]

Big wicket from Willey.

Green showed his leg stump and paid the price.

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Nice one David, needed that.

 

[Burgey]

I’m not sold on this deck being as good a batting pitch as it has been in earlier games but I suppose we’ll see soon enough.

Stoinis is key here. Never a sentence you want to be uttering as an Australian supporter.

 

[social]

Maxwell like shot

Straight forward leg glance could get you 4 with that field & you wouldn’t get bowled

well they've managed on in the mid 100s half the time so far, their exploits into the upper 200s and over 350 were batting first....

223/6 with 9 and a bit overs to go, Zampa and Hazelwood may not add much but Cummins and Starc will back themselves for cameo 20s - 30s against England attack with only one possible over of Rashid left

might just support Stoinis for a few overs make sure they are in (closer) range to open their shoulders, but think even now I'd give England maybe 1 in 3, 1 in 4 chance of chasing. And now I've said that JB or DM will play a blinder and England chase down many more!

don't worry, we'll consider you a numbnut and not an "Australian supporter" just this once, well maybe all the time

 

[kevinw]

Beautiful spell of bowling.

 

[Spark]

Why did Green play that shot? Totally needless, was set for a big score

 

[GIMH]

Rashid probably been our best player this tournament (not a difficult achievement admittedly)

 

[MW1304]

Our lack of death bowling could expose us once again here. But, again, bowling has pulled itself together recently in contrast to the batting.

 

[Burgey]

And we’ll just keep regarding you as the verified ****wit you always are

Topley was good too, Willey has been alright. Woakes and Wood huge disappointments. But the batting has been dreadful.

Yeah thought the bowling was good up front. Got a bit out of it
