4th Match - Australia v England

[SkyBlue]

Duckett's changing gears

He slowed down the moment he reached 90. Created pressure on Root and ultimately costing him his wicket. Small details but game changing.

Damn what a jinx lol

Safe to say Aus is at its lowest point ever in ODIs post 90s.

Theres literally not a single good bowler in the attack. And batting has concerns everywhere. Only really 1 or 2 ATG great in the XI (Smith/ Head and they blow hot and cold lately). In the early 2000s, every single name was an ATG all the way through the XI.

This england team isnt good.. Got smashed in every game vs India just the other week.

Surely Johnson is finished in ODI. He averages 93.50 from 4 innings so far for only 2 wickets. He is ***

 

[King Kane]

A great ton from Duckett, he needs to kick on now with Root gone.

Duckett becomes the 5th English batman to make a 100 in the CT (previous batters: Trescothick, Flintoff, Root, & Stokes)

Good company

Why the heck have the aussies got 2nd grade pace bowlers playing in this series and Boland is just sitting back here in OZ taking 11 wickets in a Shield match????/ IMPO the situation is bl**dy ridiculous. It's almost as if Andrew Hilditch is back on the selection Panel.

Boland isn't a good LO bowler, but there's no reason to have Dwarshius and Abbott in the squad over Bartlett and Neser.

Yep both shouldve been there atleast. Boland i wouldnt waste him for White ball stuff. Other options would by Steketee(never given a go at internationals yet) or another go to Meredith(only given a game)

Aus bowling stocks in white ball are at an all time low post 90s.

3 for Carey

 

[Qlder]

Ok I'm happy with selectors for once, keep Inglis as keeper with Carey as a fielder - 3 catches, 2 brilliant

 

[King Kane]

Carey with another catch, surely the England batsmen have been told not to hit the ball in the air to him or anywhere near him.

224-4 @SillyCowCorner1

Duckett 111*

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

400 doesn't look like a reality now

 

[ashley bach]

Good period atm for the yellow men

 

[ashley bach]

Zampa has been very good

Edit: Next ball is a no ball

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Duckett, now the highest score for an English LHB in the CT- 124* (Prev. Trescothick with 119)

 

[LangleyburyCCPlayer]

Zampa’s utter stupidity duly punished

4-242 @SillyCowCorner1

 

[Qlder]

If only Australia had picked Hardie we wouldn't be dreading 3 more overs from the part timers to make up their 10

 

[King Kane]

Zampa has been very good

Edit: Next ball is a no ball

He was good until he bowled a free hit no ball that Duckett smashed for six.

Duckett's proficiency against spin continues to amaze me
