4th Match - Australia v England

[GIMH]

England have had a bad run of it of late in ODIs/T20s, but the batting looks so good. In 2nd gear and still going at 7rpo. Missed all the weekday games, so enjoying saturday.

This lineup certainly should be capable of putting on competitive totals. In the recent games in India, when we threatened to put a score on the key batsmen were getting starts then out. This partnership lasting a good while longer would see us to a winning total I reckon

 

[King Kane]

A good fifty from Duckett, he would be familiar with this bowling attack after playing in the Big Bash, he probably thinks he is back playing for the Stars.

Didn't help we batted a bowler at seven. If LL plays he has to bat at seven with he and another bowler getting through ten overs.

 

[Qlder]

So everyone going at more than 7 per over except Ellis and Zampa...England should be looking at 380 here, while Australia will hopefully get them out for 320

Feels like an age since we last had a century partnership in ODIs

 

[Stapel]

Duckett will inevitably do something stupid, but so far this has been a very sensible partnership

In a couple of overs, Duckett is in a position where he cannot do anything stupid. Whatever he does next, England are in a more than decent position.

 

[King Kane]

Duckett and Root setting a good platform with a hundred run partnership but they need to bat for another 10 overs before they put the hammer down.

I just woke up and saw him getting to his fifty. early morning here.

England had a few last year, when chasing. I can't think of a recent century partnership batting first.

 

[number11]

These flat pitches will result in huge scores. The ground looks great though.

England will rue not taking some risks here

One of them have to accelerate here

If there’s one thing England don’t do enough of, it’s take risks!
