32nd Match - England v Australia

[ajdude]

No, all thread I've been moaning all innings about Morgan's decision to bowl first.

look i personally think england should’ve batted first all thing being considered but everybody is entitled to their opinion

 

[Starfighter]

Khwaja has been decent this wc though. Also I think hr has improved against spin too.

He's learned to sweep and reverse sweep. That means he has two shots against spin, which is more than none.

 

[Groundking]

Mate, they couldn’t bat first because deep down in places he doesn’t talk about during meaningless bilateral series, Morgan knows his side is full of FTBs and would have been rolled for **** all on this deck first up.

We've won all the games we've batted first in.

 

[trundler]

Khawaja needs to go. Gimme TPC.

 

[stephen]

Scratch my previous, 382.

 

[ajdude]

idk why they’re celebrating. probably did more damage getting another bat in tbh

Stokes deserved that, been the only England bowler whos really looked on his game today.

 

[Starfighter]

Well, when you play across them...

I refuse to believe that was 145. Then again, Archer supposedly bowls that fast despite looking like he's bowling 128.

 

[harsh.ag]

Stokes da man.

Khwaja doing a Sadagoppan Ramesh.

 

[Burgey]

Decent ball poorly played. Did a job Ussie. Put on a few to ensure no lolapse.

Now for TPC. Show these ****s in the crowd what’s what mate.

 

[91Jmay]

Stokes has done really well, big wicket. Can't afford to let this partnership build though. Smythe & Finch must fall.

 

[morgieb]

Great ball. Good thing it was Khawaja out rather than Finch.

 

[Starfighter]

Not the best rendition of 'Smoke on the Water' I've ever heard, including my own.

 

[Burgey]

We've won all the games we've batted first in.

Not in these conditions against Starc and Cummins.

 

[Meridio]

"if you want someone in for a fight, Ben Stokes is your man".

Interesting turn of phrase by Alison Mitchell on TMS when describing that wicket.

 

[harsh.ag]

Stokes has done really well, big wicket. Can't afford to let this partnership build though. Smythe & Finch must fall.

It actually seems like the perfect time for Australia to be rid of Khwaja.

 

[trundler]

All of Australia is welcome, btw

 

[Groundking]

Can we have a lolapse please? Must keep them to sub 300.
