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

[LukeParkerno1]

Needless shot

 

[Plugger35]

Potts strikes and Short is on his bike, DLS could decide this series if the rain arrives so wickets will keep England in this.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Need 158 at the 20 over mark if 4 down.

 

[NYRB]

Aussies still comfortably ahead of DLS but if another wicket falls......

 

[Tugga27]

I don't think smudge will open this summer but even batting four I still reckon he might struggle

Who you think will open Westy?

I guess a lot will depend on if Green plays.
If not, maybe pick an opener and then just a replacement for him.

Greg Chappell said last week Smith needs to drop back down and open with Marsh.

I'm not sure about that.

 

[NYRB]

Looks like there is a bit of promotion on Western Australia at Bristol ground today....

 

[NYRB]

Quite a smart way to attract WA tourism......

 

[sabso]

Good time for both these batsmen to remember they are at least half English.

Yo tuggs

I think they will go with head ....I am worried about smudge and I reckon they will drop him back down

Yes a lot depends on green...even if he can't bowl I still think they will play him as a batter . I can even see smudge going to 5 and green staying 4

Yeah no Chappell Marsh can't open needs to be at six and if green can't bowl mitch needs to roll the arm over, can't have mitch bowling and then opening

If green dog is ruled out and does not play that opens it up ....and I think they will go a specialist opener.....Bancroft in the frame but the four shield games will be huge ..

But overall smudge will go down the order for me whatever the result with green dog

 

[Westend]

far out that was lovely smudge

 

[Moonwatcher]

We won't get to the 4 down score at the 20 over mark. Need to make sure we don't lose wickets.

 

[Plugger35]

A drinks break with rain in the air, the rain will suit England as they are behind on DLS.

 

[scottywiper]

Spirit of cricket hey you hypocritical ****s....

 

[fuic08]

Same old Poms

 

[freo_leo29]

Time wasting galore

 

[Bradesmaen]

Same old England, always cheating.

 

[Plugger35]

England trying their best to delay play.

That fat England streaker bloke will probably make an appearance soon.

 

[NYRB]

Not even the gods can save England today.

 

[scottywiper]

The biggest cheats in world sport....and they lecture everyone else.

 

[scottywiper]

Inglis does not fill me with confidence.

 

[Westend]

Josh struggling with his timing

 

[Bradesmaen]

Inglis does not fill me with confidence.

He never has. Not sure how he's made it to the team.

 

[Westend]

That’s better

 

[Westend]

Shot

 

[Bradesmaen]

Stop allowing them to waste time finding a ball!
