T20 World Cup Game 17 Australia v England, June 9 0230hrs @ Kensington Oval Barbados

[Moonwatcher]

10am starts for the remainder of our pool matches

 

[Cmarsh]

Stoin reckons he's more than a decent rig and handsome face.

And to be fair he's been playing like he's more than a decent rig and a handsome face too. Been in great form.

 

[Around the Wicket]

Pleasing start, best part of it is England ended up 36 short whilst only being 6 wickets down.

Maxwell improved performance with the bat as well looking at the score sheet.

 

[Gough]

Maxwell improved performance with the bat as well looking at the score sheet.

It looked like a very solid effort from all the batsmen.

I nodded off whilst watching it but he does look rusty atm but time in the middle will do him good.

Starc is a worry, he may be on the way out.. was getting spanked in the IPL as well for the best part.

 

[Some Idiot]

Cummins and Zampa bowled very well, and batting contributions from a number of players

 

[Around the Wicket]

These groups are tight, Scotland beat Oman convincingly which they should England are going to struggle to progress, probably should have a reserve day for missed games over a No Result in such a tight race.

 

[Westend]

great win lads

stupid time ...busy

going to watch the replay

Extremely good, It should open right up for Australia Super 8 stage as well because few minnows are likely to progress lol

just started watching the replay 2nd over jacks bowling

very small boundary...which the lefties are targeting

 

[Moonwatcher]

At this point Scotland and England are likely to be tied on 2.5 wins. We can beat Scotland and manage their NRR as we attempted to do in the 1999 WC to push the WI through at NZ's expense.

It's going to go down to NRR but Scotland in the box seat, they should smash Oman and they just have hope Australia don't wipe the floor with them.

 

[Tugga27]

For those who bagged the selection of Warner and Stoinis, the selectors have once again proven to be spot on.
I wanted FMG in the side TBH.

Long way to go of course.

Would last night be our strongest side?
Any possible changes?

After two games? Your crowed early.

Stoinis was a fielding error away from being out 11 (16) in the first game for one lol..

Still some ways to go before giving the selectors a thumbs up.

What part of "Long way to go of course", don't you get?

And yet was player of the finals.

I say do it.

Imagine the whinging from England if we nurse Scotland through to the next stage haha.

Piers will have meltdown

We play Scotland in the last group game.

So both sides will be aware of what scotland need to do to go through if its at that point.

We can bowl first and then chase down the total in the amount of overs needed to get Scotland through.

For example if we need to bat 16 overs to chase 120 what incentive do we have to get it done in 12 to get England through when we can do it in 17 and get the Scots through.

They'll put a hex on us like after the Bairstow wicket.

 

[Westend]

I do have a complaint about the boundaries though

58 meters on one side is crap....I hate it how they bring the boundaries in on smaller grounds

Stuff em they would whinge no matter what.
