Australian white-ball tour of Scotland and England, September 2024

[NYRB]

From Cricbuzz just then:

"14:12 Local Time, 13:12 GMT, 18:42 IST: The groundsmen have started the mopping up work"

It does look like the covers are coming off from inspection on TV screen.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Maybe a bit pessimistic. 35-40 overs a side looking likely.

A shorter game means England have to attack those early overs in my opinion a bit harder.

 

[NYRB]

From Cricinfo:

Restart at 2.45pm - 39 overs. Just a 20-minute interval between innings.

15 mins

 

[Plugger35]

The London weather radar looks pretty clear now so when they start they should get the full 39 overs in.

 

[Moonwatcher]

The shorter the game the more it suits England's power hitting over Australia's accumulation. Carey won't have those 10 overs to knock the ball around.

starting now 39 overs

Wow, latest ever international to be played at Lord's

 

[Substance]

Carey in the field feels weird.
Why no allrounder?

 

[Interceptor]

Let's get the garden gnome out cheaply again.

 

[Plugger35]

Finally we have some cricket.

You really love cricket. Are there any series you don't watch?

 

[NYRB]

The ball is seaming and nipping around.

The ones that aren't on Fox or FTA here like the Sri Lanka v NZ test series, the way that's going I'm glad I'm not watching it.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Salt and Duckett struggling a little early.

 

[NYRB]

Outfield at Lords seems a tad sticky given the rain .

 

[Substance]

Ponting called for Zampa to be finer an over ago...

 

[NYRB]

Powerplay splits - 8 overs, 23 overs, 8 overs

Not the usual 10 overs.

 

[NYRB]

Thought that was out on initial inspection. Height was the thinking of the umpire. Starc unlucky.

 

[Moonwatcher]

That lbw shout was the perfect height taking the middle of the bails.

 

[BIGHAWK23]

Seriously
Balls been keeping low at Starcs end, but going over on a midget like Duckett?
Every umpire is giving that out
Wilson’s a hack

Wilson said it was going down

Ball tracking showed that in line, but 'umpires call ' for height.
