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

[Moonwatcher]

Hope Carey can save our NRR.

Aussies aren't even trying they have got the white flag up. Total capitulation now. Brook, Livingstone Archer and Carse too good today especially Livingstone.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Carey should have enough pride to aim for a not out.

 

[Plugger35]

Carey to the rescue again, if he can bat like Gilchrist the Aussies could still be a chance.

Carey should have enough pride to aim for a not out.

Yep only option now is to avoid a complete annihilation and embarrassment and try and bat out till the end. Won't get near the target but get another 100 if possible.

England had about the same score at the same stage in the match.
Shows how badly things got away from the bowlers.

The results have swung wildly from the start of the series.

 

[Plugger35]

Abbott could be stumped.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Just end him

 

[Moonwatcher]

That's a bad decision.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Wonder if he understands the shoe must be grounded behind the line

 

[Plugger35]

The third umpire taking pity on him and giving him a reprieve, that looked out to me.

 

[Interceptor]

Lucky decision, won't make any difference.
Abbott shouldn't play again.

 

[Plugger35]

Even Ponting thought that was out and he is hardly ever wrong.

 

[Plugger35]

Six and out for Abbott.

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

Six and out for Abbott.

What's the point were not getting close to the target get a bit of confidence and bat for a bit instead of giving away your wicket. Carey will farm the strike now.

 

[Plugger35]

Carey gone and Potts is on a hat trick.

This series will go to 2 all but rain is forecast for Bristol on Sunday so it could be another drawn series.

 

[Interceptor]

To lose by the best part of 200 runs in a 39 over match is an utter disgrace.
One of the worst limited over performances of all time by Australia.

To lose by the best part of 200 runs in a 39 over match is an utter disgrace.
One of the worst limited over performances of all time by Australia.

Lost 9-54 from 0-68. Pathetic batting performance. Last 10-15 overs shocking bowling as well. An all round nightmare that the team needs to quickly forget.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Thank god that's over. We were 0/60.

 

[Saints4ever]

Well let’s hope the grand final today isn’t as 1 sided.

Carn the lions.

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

Thank god that's over. We were 0/60.

0-68 actually. A match that will be wiped very quickly from the memory bank as it was an utter farcical effort.

 

[Interceptor]

Extras (19) was 3rd highest scorer.

 

[Saints4ever]

Need to find an opener Mitch Marsh isn’t it.

Don’t think Fraser McGurk is ready.

Batting line up needs an overhaul.

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

On a side note why the heck is Hazlewood going leg side even to a spin bowler?, has nobody tried to fix his technique because he's become an utter bunny the more his cricket career has gone on. Lucky he's a world class bowler.

 

[Saints4ever]

Australian cricket is in trouble in a few years.
