4th Match - Australia v England

[Hungry Llama]

I thought they said that Buttler has never played a match in Pakistan for england before. With 375 matches behind him, thats a bit surprising. I guess he must have played them in the UAE instead. Promo Smith to no3 must be to protect Root from the new ball - perhaps if Baz had more confidence in the openers getting through the powerplay, he wouldnt have taken the gamble.

i like both Australia and England so dont know who to support

England should win this

So we've all been saying Abbott shouldn't have been picked and of course they leave him out of the XI. Should have taken Bartlett instead.

Also what a waste of 18 months with Australia picking Hardie in every useless ODI since the World Cup but now that it matters they leave him out

At least they dropped McGurk

Aus win the toss and choose to bowl first

Should be a comfortable win for England.

You'd hope. You're not opening the bowling with Ben Dwarshius.

Not opening the bowling with Ben Dwarshuis either iirc

Duckett took forever to get ready to face that ball...

Must be a belter of a deck with England runs being quoted at 310-320.

Edit: 12 off the first over and it's 327-337

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Livingstone and Root as the fifth and sixth bowling options is nightmarish.

That's terrible!
Might need some Harry Brook mediums

 

[Thala_0710]

ENG must surely be looking for 350+ here with this pitch against this attack

Stunner from Carey!!

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Alex Carey! Who needs gloves?

 

[SkyBlue]

Catch of the tournament

Edit: forgot Glen Philips' blinder so maybe not

[LangleyburyCCPlayer]

[flibbertyjibber]

Great catch, be a normal one for Phillips though
