World Cup Day 27 England v Australia @ Lords

[dumb]

If Stoinis was 5 off 8 there’d be whinging, oh wait there was, Carey and it’s crickets

Carey can be stodgy too, apart from his recent 50.

 

[peternorth]

Are we seriously in the last 5 or 6 overs of the innings? Would have no idea from the way we are "batting". What a fking joke after our openers.

Need to bat out the 50 overs for NRR

 

[frankrizzo]

This could fall away badly now Cummins and starc have been woeful with the bat so far.

 

[Hawks1523]

Well we’ve really pissed this away

 

[Magma]

wasted a real good start something terrible. should've been getting about 320, would be lucky to make 300 now.

 

[grumbleguts]

Ed Sheeran looks like he would be a solid 2nd drop batsman

He looks like he covered his face in glue and rolled around in orange carpet.

Smith has been far less impressive than Warner since the return. It seems unusually easy to get him out.

 

[The Casey Cat]

Been saying it since the squad was announced...

We have to differentiate between test and ODI cricket

Yep. The mob we're playing managed to figure it out 4 years ago.

To a point but if you get 100 you should be making 150+

Yeah nah. We are in a lot more strife without both the openers seeing off as many balls as they did. Being sent in and hitting a ton as an opener is a fantastic effort.

 

[Tesla Tenet]

2 batsmen short.

Wade in Khawaja out
Anyone in Stoinis out

Even M. Marsh would be better....

Well it's probably not a bad thing that alot of these issues with out batting order is happening now in a group match with a semi final spot sewn up. Smith has to come in at 3 next game.

 

[hoss]

Pathetic, from Finch onwards.

Love Smith, but jeez he carries on.

 

[Hamingja]

Smith has been a good ODI #3 for ages though. Why would you put inferior batsmen there? Khawaja or marsh at 4 shouldn't be an issue with Maxwell after that. What we need is an aggressive 6 who can actually hit the ****en thing.

Would you want Khawaja or Shaun Marsh in now? I sure as hell wouldn't.

Unbelievable we are going to make 280 after that start

 

[HK_Hawk]

PS: Smith is putrid unless coming in early to steady a shakey ship and support a genuine hitter.

 

[Kram]

He was two metres out of his ground when the bowler had the ball in his hands so yeah there is that. Good call and all that.

Umm because he slowed down because they were gone anyway.

Anyone that thinks they wouldn't have made 2 there is an idiot or blind.

 

[eddiesmith]

When did Archer learn to catch?

I was shocked, thought he dropped it from the first shot!

He needs to bat 3

 

[HBF]

Shot Carey

 

[smasha]

The positive is we can rectify this,Poms haven’t beaten us,we have beat ourselves with some silly strokes.

 

[Zevon]

Such a petulant little child

Bit like a less petulant less childish version of Stokes

 

[dogs105]

Such a petulant little child

He just got the best Australian batsman out. He's allowed to celebrate.

 

[charcoalchicken]

Finch and warner could not have done much more, pretty much everyone else has bottled it

 

[The Defender]

Can’t win World Cup with this team.

 

[Cleavy]

Carey may as well go for broke now.
