4th Match - Australia v England

[Silver Silva]

This game is getting tense now . I think Short and Labuschagne have just about kept this 50/50 after losing Head and Smith cheaply..

Can Short stay calm ?

Will have to watch a few more overs of this. The wife has been farting in her sleep and the bedroom is currently uninhabitable.

Hopefully a few minutes of the air purifier on 4 will sort it out.

 

[Silver Silva]

Another thing that may hamper Australia is that they have quite a long tail , Dwarshuis appears to be competent in domestic cricket but none of the security that a Starc and Cummins brings to a run chase.

 

[King Kane]

Carse getting the arse for Livingstone, he is already more economical after his first over.

England need wickets though.

Rubbish, Dwarshuis, Ellis and Zampa can all bat. Only Johnson is a bunny

something's happened

 

[wellAlbidarned]

needing root to bowl late with a potentially dewy ball is certainly a bold strategy

 

[King Kane]

Rashid floated it up and got the wicket.

Brave bowling.

Nice while it lasted. I don't feel super confident in Inglis tbh but in theory should be good for him to start against the spinners.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Short's bottom-handed shovel drives don't look to be overly effective against spin.

 

[Qlder]

England were 2/132 after 20 overs, Australia not far behind at 3/129

This could go down to the wire, it would be nice to see a close finish in an ODI, you don't see too many of them these days.

The first 3 ODIs of this tournament have been all but over by this stage of the match and have been pretty boring to watch.

Short, man...

Aussies are folding

 

[trundler]

That's appealingly soft. That's why you can't count the team defending 350 out after just one good partnership from the batting side.

I think more realistically they're going to lose wickets too easily trying to keep the run rate up & get bundled out under 300. Short and Inglis haven't really done anything big at this level.

Aaand just like that another goes.

Worst ODI batting lineup post 90s for Australia in ODIS. always they used to have gun top order bats

 

[King Kane]

Short gone to spin, no surprise there, England should have bowled spin to him earlier.

I would be giving Root a bowl too.

 

[Stapel]

Linvigstone's bowling is a lot better than I expected.

A better leggie than an offie
