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

[Plugger35]

Livingstone on strike for the last over, Starc would prefer Bethell.

There he goes for six first ball.

Will your average Australian fan remember this series in 10 years time? I vaguely remember a very good ODI series between Australia and England in 2005 , the series played before the Ashes test series.

Players attitude today from Australia has been pretty poor and body language too.

Going to be controversial here , the only ODI cricket that should be played is : ODI World Cup matches, Champions Trophy. If your going to have a bilateral series , it should only be T20 series.

Should be no T20I and only ODI

 

[Plugger35]

Livingstone taking Starc to the cleaners.

This is carnage.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Even if we were a silly chance we aren't now.

 

[Substance]

Cmon make it 30

 

[Saints4ever]

Starc bowling absolute trash

 

[NYRB]

Aussies arent winning this tonight. Thats a very good score on this wicket.

 

[Moonwatcher]

So 2 T20s with 10 wickets.

 

[Moonwatcher]

When we went 2 nil up I was hoping we'd win the series with 2 matches to spare so I could sleep.

 

[NYRB]

Ben Stokes and Joe Root had their days in the sun for the ODI side. Bairstow too. But this English batting lineup is impressive. They should stick with them.

It would be going backwards if any of those trio were part of the ODI build for the next world cup.

 

[Substance]

At least now we get a decider. Shame we won't have the bowlers to win

 

[NYRB]

The only phase where Aussies looked on top in that performance was the initial 8 over powerplay. Quite smart of England looking to see off that new ball - the most difficult time to bat at Lords.

 

[Saints4ever]

Love it or hate it.

Bazball looks really good when it comes off.

 

[Interceptor]

Awful.
Just embarassing from Starc.

Will have to go hard from the start for any chance at all.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Love it or hate it.

Bazball looks really good when it comes off.

Was that bazball? They constructed the innings well rather than just throw the bat at everything.

Starcs pie shop was open for business

 

[freo_leo29]

don't think we brought the firepower for this chase

 

[Shaunbkk]

don't think we brought the firepower for this chase

Starc is our pie thrower extraordinaire ore often than not these days Send over some Marsh cup bowlers for game 5 seriously

 

[Plugger35]

don't think we brought the firepower for this chase

There is enough firepower, they will either fire or flame out but either way it should be entertaining

I should be going to bed now but I might stay up to see how this ends, the bourbon and coke helps.

 

[Moonwatcher]

A runrate of 6.66 leaves us with 12 an over from the final 10.
And 7.34 leaves 10 an over.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Got the required runs for the over.

 

[Plugger35]

Marsh lucky there, should have been Smith's catch.

 

[Cuzz09]

go Australia

[Moonwatcher]

Keeping the runrate at 8 would be our best strategy. Already lagging behind.

 

[Plugger35]

The pitch is looking like a green seamer.

Marsh and Head going with the best form of defence is attack, they know no other way.
