[Around the Wicket]

Big game for England with the No Result with Scotland.

 

[Fire]

If Australia win this one, then its going to be awesome when we lose to Scotland

We can afford a loss to Scotland if we win this one

 

[ep2018]

Neither team set the world on fire in their first game, mind you England didn't get a chance to bat.

We're as good as through with a win here, a loss not the end of the world either (just need to win the games we should).

it would be a tactical loss, is what I meant.

(I was attempting to make a joke as such a result would see Engerland finish third. Never mind.)

Are wins carried through to the second stage of the tournament a la 1999 ODI WC?

 

[FreoGirl]

Mitch Marsh for highest score

Nope. The table gets wiped at the start of the Super 8

England have won the toss and have opted to field

 

[Plugger35]

Head taking down Jacks with back to back sixes off his first two balls.

 

[AvantGardener]

Well this has actually been worth getting up for (so far)

 

[Plugger35]

Wood getting smashed as badly as Jacks was.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Would have taken 1/70 but damn

 

[Moonwatcher]

 

[Plugger35]

England striking back by bowling both Warner and Head.

 

[Moonwatcher]

5 ducks in Maxwell's last 10 T20 innings.

 

[Moonwatcher]

No duck for our Maxy

This must be the least posted in thread for an Australia v England cricket game in Bigfooty history.

 

[Plugger35]

Nasser telling us for the hundredth time that Mitch Marsh was brought up at the WACA and can play the hook and pull shots well.

Least posted in thread for this WC ironically

 

[Plugger35]

Maxwell living dangerously, lucky he miscued that shot to Bairstow, a more athletic fielder would have caught that.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Stoinis makes the batting line up look a bit thin (was motm last game)

 

[Moonwatcher]

18 off the over. Needed a big one.
