He's 30, which is a bit old than I had thought. But no reason why he shouldn't play for a good few years yet.(Livingstone) He’s only quite young isn’t he? Looks like he’s got a bit about him tbh

He’s 30, so probably one player who should feasibly be around in four years.He’s only quite young isn’t he? Looks like he’s got a bit about him tbh
Mo is the least attacking bowler we've got. Almost never takes wickets any more in this format. Livingstone is the more attacking option as he can get wickets (and did).I just think Buttler and Root are very defensive and don't have the bottle to bowl attacking bowlers a la Moeen consistently
They will today. Bairstow is a wounded tiger along with others.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.
NZ are going to lose on DLS. They're very vulnerable now.Having India and South Africa stumble in the late pool games would really spice up the semi final mix. If Aus top order doesn't kick on they look a lot more beatable
Yeah, I do feel Australia’s chances really lie with Head and Warner. Get them early as we did today and you’re in the game.Having India and South Africa stumble in the late pool games would really spice up the semi final mix. If Aus top order doesn't kick on they look a lot more beatable
Yeah its a high scorer for sureNZ are going to lose on DLS. They're very vulnerable now.
Did he wear a “cornered tiger” tee shirt to the toss, which we are regularly told on this forum is World Cup winning, inspirational man management and innovative captaincy like the cricket world has never seen before or since 1992?They will today. Bairstow is a wounded tiger along with others.
I was just thinking they could probably bat the overs out at 4rpo, add just 20, and still have a defendable targetAustralia should bat the overs out. 280 is definitely defendable against a mentally fried English batting lineup.
What is England's average score batting second though?I was just thinking they could probably bat the overs out at 4rpo, add just 20, and still have a defendable target
the average total batting first in this tournament may be 286 but boosted by four totals of 399+ , 271 if you disregard those as irrelevant
Somewhere in the low 20s.What is England's average score batting second though?
If Bairstow, Malan and/or Root don't get fifties or big fifties I don't fancy the chances of the 4-11 doing what they haven't all tournament, score a fifty, averaging 15 across the middle to lower order. they could in theory muster the runs by scoring lots of 20s - 40s, much may depend if they get off to a good start, if the aussies knock 1-2 over early then I doubt they'll bring on the weak bowling and let England off the hookIt's not really about how many Australia get. It's about how quickly our batters surrender.
They need to clean up the tail first before thinking about chasing. They could've been chasing around 260 instead they are leaking runs to the tail enders.If Bairstow, Malan and/or Root don't get fifties or big fifties I don't fancy the chances of the 4-11 doing what they haven't all tournament, score a fifty, averaging 15 across the middle to lower order. they could in theory muster the runs by scoring lots of 20s - 40s, much may depend if they get off to a good start, if the aussies knock 1-2 over early then I doubt they'll bring on the weak bowling and let England off the hook
