4th Match - Australia v England

[Fuller Pilch]

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.

Decent T20 bowlers though

 

[Stapel]

Great catch earlier by Carey.
Am I too critical when I say he could have time better at 4.5?
Anyway, no harm, as Smith offers him a sitter, 3 balls later.

 

[LangleyburyCCPlayer]

Poor from Smith

Looked very good until he didn’t, typical of England

 

[King Kane]

England are giving Carey catching practice, that was much easier than the last one.

Looks like it's up to Root to try and rescue them again.

Two wickets in the first six. Just come home lads.

 

[ImpatientLime]

Two wickets, two clowns hitting it in the air to get out. Never change lads

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

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

I'm not optimistic about Carse having to bowl 10 as the 4th bowler either.

Johnson a genuine prospect in red ball too if he can ever be fit enough. I'm hoping they all go alright in this tournament. Tough to come in with limited experience and none of the big three around for support.

 

[Stapel]

We’re on course for 300 ao off 40 here ffs

Happy to agree, but not before Root is out.

 

[Starfighter]

Fair to say Carey is a much better fielder than Inglis? No wonder Inglis has the gloves (as I think Carey's s better keeper)

Yeah I'd have wanted Carey as keeper as he's better, but I suppose it can work this way. Inglis certainly isn't as athletic as Carey.

I'm being sincere here (not having a dig). Why isn't Woakes playing? Is he in the squad? Injured? Dropped?

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Ellis is like a faster version of Gavin Larsen - similar robotic action.

Hasn’t played an ODI since the World Cup

 

[Thala_0710]

Very poor start from both teams here. ENG have just gifted AUS 2 wkts, by which the Aussies are ahead

 

[kevinw]

Tbf their fifth bowler is a mix of Maxi, Head, Smith and Labuschagne.

Luckily for us Carey can’t play in both positions!

 

[Silver Silva]

Dwarshuis has a magnificent moustache

They've moved on from him it seems.

Coincidentally, our ODI side has gotten much, much worse.

An 8-11 of Woakes, Willey, Rashid and Archer seems quite handy now.

 

[King Kane]

Root not getting that drive past mid off, he should try hitting those drives in the air.
