Can't be often that we've seen an innings with spin exclusively from about over 35 onwards.

I’d expect nothing less.

England haven’t been the same side in either white ball format since 2019.

Been all about slogging as much as possible and struggling if the top 3 don’t bat most of the innings. We only won the 2022 T20 cos off stokes holding the innings together against Sri Lanka and then the final against Pakistan

The complete move away from Joe Root definitely has been a mistake. We then just excpected him to rock up at the 50 over and rediscover how to play the format.

Players these days play more T20 cricket than one day cricket and it shows, they just try to slog straight away rather than trying to build an innings.

Okay who guessed 3 of Australia's batsmen would bowl 21 overs of spin for 6 wickets 😀

Great job by Labuschagne, Short and Head

England are going to have to bowl exceptionally well or bowl pies and let the Aussies tap them to the fielders.

England's issue is they don't have anyone who can safely manipulate the middle overs anymore. Stokes, root and morgan could all knock singles with the occasional boundary in the middle and capitalize on a fast start from the openers before going crazy at the death. Livingstone can't do that, smith can't, brook can't. All of these guys are realistically one or two spots too high in the batting order. Same issue last WC.

Really good death bowling from Head.

Even better death batting from England, they threw away a score of at least 350 and didn't even bat out their 50 overs.

315 is still a decent score but it may not be enough against against an Aussie batting line up that can bat hard and deep.

We just play the sort of cricket that looks brilliant when it comes off but plain daft when it doesn't.
