*Official* Australia limited overs tour of Scotland and England 2024

[Pup Clarke]

Official confirmation that Australia need to move on from Starc in white ball cricket now. Spencer Johnson is a tailor made replacement and isn't young, so I think it's the perfect time to bring him in

He's been a great servant (and in certain conditions he's still a huge asset) but he's without doubt on a downward trajectory.

Very hittible on flat decks. It's clear he's just not the bowler he was

 

[chris.hinton]

We are BACK

 

[King Kane]

Starc truly is channeling his inner Mitch Johnson, unfortunately for him it was the 2010/11 version

He bowls to the left, he bowls to the right, that Mitchell Starc his bowling is sh*te.

 

[King Kane]

This could be an entertaining run chase, the Aussies are still a chance if one of the England bowlers can bowl as badly as Starc.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Think he got an inside edge on that

 

[wpdavid]

Potts is giving it a go with the spate of wides.

But maybe he's sorted out his line now.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

That's the keeper's catch bruh

 

[CartyDurham]

If Australia get this, they deserve the series

if England can’t defend over 300 off 39 , they deserve to be in the stocks in Trafalgar Square and pigeon crap thrown at them

 

[King Kane]

A lucky let off for Marsh, that should have been Smith's catch.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Keep it right there Jofra, Head's gonna nibble at it

 

[wpdavid]

That's a pretty good over from Archer there.

 

[King Kane]

Potts has the ball talking and so does Jofra.

 

[CartyDurham]

Like Shelling peas that 6 by Marsh

So easy and bad bowling by Marley

 

[wpdavid]

I suspect that England need a couple of wickets while the ball is still doing so much.

 

[CartyDurham]

I think it’s 8 overs max here , so it will be interesting to see his England rotate the spinners

Any idea how long the powerplay is?

First 8 overs

 

[King Kane]

Marsh and Head riding their luck, getting beaten but still landing some blows.

 

[wpdavid]

Carse doing his thing again.

Maybe fairer to say that Head's doing his thing, but the pressure does seem to lessen when Carse turns his arm.
