faulkner on far too early

Yup.

Up into 3rd gear, we might see something special in the next 5-10 overs.

Ah balls.

 

[The Spezial One]

Mitch has got the death stare going!!! Come on son!

Edit: Virat gone. Get in there, huge wicket!

Not sure what he was doing there, just needed to get through that period, plenty of time

Aussies well on top now.

Wankers.

 

[johnson]

This is what England do too much of (among other things), just can't afford to lose wickets regularly

Look at Finch today, not an amazing know, but about 80 off 105 wasn't it? something like that, anyway sets the innings up later on


1 more and they are fucked.

Pace, bounce, line, he's got the ball doing everything here. So impressed with Hazelwood's line mind, so consistent every delivery.

Yep very good bowling like, love watching pace

Hazelwood could be absolute quality in English conditions mind.

 

[Dexter]

The three main Aussie quicks are class mind.

Fuck off man Starc you wanker, appealing for that ffs.

Come on India!

Think NZ have more chance against India then Australia even though they have already beaten them.

 

[Steak Pie]

Shame that the game has gone as a spectacle, but the Aussies have played very well.

 

[HarrogateMackem]

India havent even put much of a fight up.

Here comes shit or bust...

If he'd gone 5 overs earlier maybe there would be something in this, but it's far too late. Almost England-like.

I was thinking that mind. However, England would have only gone with 3 overs left

Aussie will be big favourites at home.

Very even contest with the Aussies slight favourites at home.

NZ won't die wondering and they have plenty of batters and bowlers in great form.

Looking forward to it

Bigger ground, OZ favourites but can't wait me, would love NZ to win, think Williamson and the captain are key

New Zealand won the last time they played there, I dont buy the bigger ground talk. The actual conditions however should be key.

Yep Aussies faltering slightly here, in terms of modern day ODIs anyway

Warne a bit too confident IMO

Welp, Warne was right. Aussies won by bowling India out for 233.

It's often said that the fielding restrictions have helped big hitting but they have also helped aggressive bowling and bowling sides going for wickets instead of simply trying to restrict run rate.
