[trundler]

Hope Australia win the toss

Smash 'em, England

 

[turnstyle]

They're saying the deck is a bit green because it's the same strip they'll be using for the NZ v AUS match on the weekend.

Let's do this

 

[Burgey]

Australia batting first. Lyon playing

 

[91Jmay]

I think we are bowling first to protect our top order from Starc with fresh conditions more than anything. Backing Woakes to surprise today and snag a few early.

 

[Jarquis]

Hopefully we get amongst them early.

Had hoped they’d give Zampa one more game...

 

[mr_mister]

Archer apparently carrying a side strain?

 

[rythy]

lol. England to chase under pressure in WC?? Morgan doesn't seem to learn. Aussies to win and virtually knockout England today.

Wouldn't Bangladesh need to beat Pakistan & India and us not win either of last two to go through?

 

[Spikey]

game 1/zampa
game 2/zampa
game 3/zampa
game 4/no spin
game 5/no spin
game 6/zampa
game 7/lyon

makes sense

 

[trundler]

All eyes on Finch's front pad. Be hilarious if Woakes wastes the new ball in overcast conditions.

London and Geelong weather updates pls

London: not very sunny, but not very cloudy too. I know it sounds weird but now I am looking out of the window and it is somewhere between sunny and cloudy

 

[Groundking]

Why the **** are we bowling? FFS Morgan have you not learnt that these fairweather batsmen crack under the pressure of a world cup chase.

 

[stephen]

How has Finch got 6 tons against England already?

 

[trundler]

Does Archer swing it much?

 

[weldone]

Does Archer swing it much?

No, Woakes swings more than him

 

[mr_mister]

God our anthem is trash

 

[Starfighter]

Nice to see Lyon there in the crowd, supporting England.

 

[Starfighter]

Everyone has been changed to medium-fast for this WC.
