*Official* Australia v England post-Ashes ODI series

[Starfighter]

Love how the comms were talking about Paine maybe telling Zampa to keep the bat low and get a single and then he plays that shot.

I think the slow half tracker is the only ball Ball can bowl atm.

 

[MW1304]

He's barely even bowling. These are just dead overs at the moment. Would have been batter off with Root.

 

[Starfighter]

Jake Ball is losing this for England. Root would have been better bowling himself, as Paine needs the pace to score behind the stumps.

 

[Spikey]

Go big Josh

Root can't bowl himself as Morgan is captain.

I agree Root should have bowled and Ball has been as much use on this tour as Finn was last time.

 

[hazsa19]

Should have just banked on one of Wiley or Curran getting the wicket before the 50th.

 

[Spikey]

Tbf, if Root grabbed the ball went to the crease I doubt Morgan would say ****. Root's got his own injury concern too hasn't he

 

[Jarquis]

Curran really did bowl well in this second spell

 

[hazsa19]

That’s brilliant.

 

[Spikey]

Oh so Hales dropped it to ensure maximum heartbreak for Paine

 

[MW1304]

What a breakthrough match for Curran. Looks a beast when it swings.

 

[Starfighter]

Jeez Curran has bowled well this match. Skiddy, pitched up, swinging pace has been rather lacking recently with our height and short of a length obsession.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Fun game to finish.

 

[Starfighter]

Smith's innings halted our momentum really badly.

 

[MW1304]

5-4 then. Leaves the t20 series nicely poised. Feels right that the Ashes should be decided in that format.

 

[quincywagstaff]

That was a pretty good ODI series; certainly more entertainment value than the Ashes.

Reckon that’s Australia’s most disappointing loss of the series as that was a very gettable target and Oz looked good things at certain stages. But when neither Smith or Warner reach 50 once in the series you’re probably doing well to lose 4-1.

Are England playing ODIs in their upcoming NZ tour? That would be good to watch.

 

[Jarquis]

That accent.

 

[NotMcKenzie]

Are England playing ODIs in their upcoming NZ tour? That would be good to watch.

Yes, five after the T20 series.

 

[Starfighter]

I like seeing an ODI with two five fors and no hundreds.
