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

Great catch from Bairstow.

Livingstone with the old rope a dope tactic.

What do we reckon he bowled there? Leggie or offie?

 

[BazBall21]

Australia should bat the overs out. 280 is definitely defendable against a mentally fried English batting lineup.

 

[Gob]

This could end pretty quickly

 

[GIMH]

Says something about how badly Moeen's declined that Buttler preferred Livingstone. Not that it's worked out too badly.

I’m not sure it does. Livingstone’s ability to turn it both ways makes him very useful. Think his bowling is underrated on here. He’s had a poor time with the bat (who hasn’t) but has bowled pretty well on the most part through the tournament.

 

[Burgey]

A real Marcus Stoinis special of an innings

Unfortunately Marcus’ largest and least flexible muscle is between his ears

 

[kevinw]

Why would you bowl Mo when you have Livingstone?

Neither are ideal options after the 40th over once batters are looking for a boundary a ball. Buttler can't count clearly.

 

[Andyhere]

I see England winning this one.

 

[Prince EWS]

Cummins did the thing but he actually hit it for once

@Spark

 

[Gob]

That's terrible batting

 

[slowfinger]

Are the indian crowd being paid to wear England and Australia shirts?

 

[Andyhere]

Haha largest and weakest muscle

 

[GIMH]

Tame that from Cummins

 

[Shri]

100 too many here

Yes, this is all true. But a few years ago, Moeen would have been rated the safer option.

And looking forward, Livingstone's one of the guys I'd keep in the side as a respectable spinner who doesn't look out of place batting at 7.

 

[Andyhere]

Idiot Cummins threw his wicket away knowing they are in danger of not playing out full 50 overs.

He’s only quite young isn’t he? Looks like he’s got a bit about him tb

Starc has been awful with the cue this tourney so far.Be nice if he turned it around

I just think Buttler and Root are very defensive and don't have the bottle to bowl attacking bowlers a la Moeen consistently

 

[Ashes81]

Aussies are struggling to bat the overs out. We've bowled and fielder well here but can our batting stand up and get the job done.

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Need to shut this down now.

 

[Spark]

Yep was set up for him to really cash in. Terrible game awareness

Applies to a lot of our blokes tbh. So many starts but no one putting the foot down
