***Official***Match #36 - Australia vs England - November 4th - Ahmedabad

[GIMH]

Stop trying to pull wood ffs. It's too quick

It’s working tbf

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Wood getting smoked by Zampa, embarrassing for him.

We ain't ever seen a batsman like Zampa before.

 

[Owzat]

Somewhere in the low 20s.

or 171 if talking this tournament

129 chasing 230, 215 chasing 285 and 170 chasing 400, just to give a little but not complete context ie chasing 400 collapsing is always possible, the other two were probably 40-80 runs too many conceded, like Afghans hardly troubled by England until 100+ on the board, India were pegged back at 40/3 then England managed to concede 91 for the 4th wicket which turned out to be near THREE TIMES the next highest partnership in the match

**** now there’s two giant birds, both bigger than the sun!

Did he wear a “cornered tiger” tee shirt to the toss, which we are regularly told on this forum is World Cup winning, inspirational man management and innovative captaincy like the cricket world has never seen before or since 1992?

Also what inspired the then -6 years old Rashid Khan to take up cricket....

Good from this fella

 

[Athlai]

Does anyone else hear random crap electric guitar strumming or am I going crazy

Lies. Rashid Khan was 19 and in his third year of FC at the time. Look at him ffs

 

[Aidan11]

How the well are we letting Zampa get this many runs?

 

[GIMH]

Good this from Zampa

 

[King Kane]

Zampa batting like Maxwell.

 

[Gob]

Remember when 270 used to be a daunting score

 

[Athlai]

This Zampa 50 is gonna be excellent

 

[Flem274*]

How have Aus snuck so close to 300? This is robbery haha.

 

[Owzat]

just tosses the theory of "on paper" lower order batting strengths, he's doing what only a few supposedly better middle and lower order among the England batting have managed, score 20+ !!

 

[Burgey]

Zampa channeling Andy Bichel’s 2003 WC batting was not on my bingo card for this game tbh

 

[Aidan11]

England's second highest score in this tournament is 282.

They will have to get more of that to win. Given that their last 4 scores have all been lower than the previous game I give us zero to negative chance.

 

[BazBall21]

Gem of an innings from Zampa has taken Australia ahead. Green's luck a big moment too. Think they have enough.

perfectly executed Butthead tic tacs, don't push home early advantage of taking wickets and keep your best bowler on hold until the opposition have gotten to 100, then when you claw it back a bit don't bring on the other wicket taker or bowl through your best bowler but go back to trying to get through overs from the rest......

the rest is history, sadly it would be better for England if I could say the rest are history

Wood has managed through situation to avoid striking his 40 bowling average, only a usual (bad) bowl away from it, 35.00 here and surprisingly bowled out will only nudge him fractionally away from it - he may be saved from it if England wise up and play someone else, him never again

 

[Burgey]

Starc batting with a toothpick
