England v Australia - 5th ODI

[Safc_Luke]

England need 299 to win off the 50 overs.

Stokes got 5 wkts
Jordan got 3 on debut

Plenty quick bowling/all round option for the winter.

 

[The Omega Man]

Stokes bowling this season has been noticably quicker. I saw this in pre season nets that I watched. Its co-incided with him growing and filling out a bit more. Shows the value of patience with young, talented players.

Why isn't onions considered for these games?

They clearly dont like him or rate him all that highly. Shame really because in the CC he is a top class bowler.

 

[Safc_Luke]

KP ran out for 0.

Can't believe it....wtf??

Carberry called a run from the non strikers end, KP was half asleep, had KP been alert he would have got through nee bother.

Agreed.

 

[Andy.SAFC]

Carberry is not an international batsman. Looks absolutely all over the place

 

[sol51]

Well Carberry and KP are now 1-1 on the run-outs. I hope I don't see them play best of three.

 

[Icarebecauseyoudo]

Looks like they'll need to utilise stokes's batting too

 

[BIG BAZ]

Luke Wright...Looked like he was having a cup of tea running for that

 

[Andy.SAFC]

I feel sorry for whoever paid to go and see this. It's clear neither side, especially England, really want to be there. And the selectors couldn't give a toss either, leaving out 5 of our best players

 

[Marko]

Hope the kids tickets didn't cost much when theyre out the back playing against a wheely bin

 

[Safc_Luke]

Further proof that these meaningless games should be BEFORE test series.

 

[Marko]

Jesus wept. After 5 deliveries of Jordan being unable to hit the ball they take a single off the last ball.

There you go

 

[Icarebecauseyoudo]

give it some long handle Ben

 

[Mainze]

England are is desperate need of a player like Stokes.

I really hope the lad kicks on now.

 

[CollingwoodFTM]

He should just get himself a 40 odd not out to build his confidence.
