4th Match - Australia v England

[Fuller Pilch]

Smith looks pretty tall for a keeper.

Is @thierry henry following this game?

Not opening the bowling with Ben Dwarshuis either iirc

Seems to have opened to me. Point is this is an attack that isn't international standard. Short and Maxwell vs Livingstone and Root for the fifth bowler probably balances out, though Livingstone at least turns it the other way. The batting really really unsettled too, England's didn't cover themselves in glory in India but they were better than ours against SL.

Phil Salt's white ball career starts and ends with West Indies

 

[King Kane]

A great catch from Carey without the gloves, almost as good as Phillips catch.

Dwarshuis couldn't believe his luck, he probably thought that was going for 4.

Off topic, but how are the Force beating the Brumbies 28-7 in Camberra???

I thought that last summer. Good bat and has kept well though so all good so far.

I wonder if Macaulay Culkin’s promotion is at least in part with a view to eventually seeing him up that high in the Test team, I know there is an immediate wish for Root to come in later, but there has also been some (rather premature!) talk of him eventually being a Test number 3 too

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Wikipedia says Smith is 1.88m/ 6 ft 2, so yeah extremely tall for a keeper.

 

[SkyBlue]

Head will enjoy batting on this pitch. Need to get 350+ to contain Australia

By scoring more points than them, the Force aren't a bad team despite being from WA, not that they have any WA players in their team, it's all imports.

Probably the worst Australian bowling attack ever in a major tournament but England will still eff this up.

Are they? I don't follow the pyjama **** at all and assumed these randoms are people who've actually got about 100 ODIs behind them - something that often happens when I don't recognise a name.

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

That makes one of you!

True, but Canberra is a very hard place to win

Carey almost in action again

Prior to this match, Johnson and Dwarshuis had bowled 37 overs in ODIs between them. Ellis is the experienced one, playing in his 10th ODI today.

Poor from Smith

I never thought I'd hear Acca Dacca played at cricket in Pakistan.
