England V Australia Durham 21st June

[rentaghost]

The innings had lost momentum at c. 240/4 before Buttler came in.

I've never forgiven Buttler for that terrible 'game management' he demonstrated in the first comfortable victory of the series. His man of the match 91 and 156 average at a strike rate of 160 in our further Aussie hammerings doesn't wash with me.

 

[smoker]

Relatively speaking. We've won with 32 balls in hand

Aye, because Buttler came in and hammered it around at 11 an over.

That's his role.

Virtually perfect performance bearing in mind it was a record score England had to chase.

A stroll. We are different gravy to Australia. Remember we beat them 4-1 with the six missing all playing in the winter

I'm revelling in this. Hope we win 5-0

Their bowling attack is horrendous

Wrong, it’s not the best they’ve ever had by any stretch of my imagination but they’re still decent. In Lyon they’ve one of the best spinners around. It’s just England’s batsmen are in terrific form and tearing them a new one.

Today the Aussie batsmen let them down, should’ve got at least 360 there. Letting root go for just 4.4 an over was criminal for them.

Their spinners bowled well today. It was their seamers who cost them. Neser, in particular, is a complete journeyman.

Good performance always in control
Weak Aussie attack
Lyon you are not making your gob go now are you?
Awesome by Roy and fantastic finishing by Buttler
Nice weather for the game as well

Had a very enjoyable day/night, the thought never entered my head that we wouldn't chase down 311 England look terrific batting.

Good day out but as a cricket fan I am becoming more and more irritated by the unnecessary number of artificially created stoppages that occur at these one day games. I may be an old fart but do need a stoppage every over to change gloves,fart about and have a drink
I put it down to Sky to manufacture advertising breaks but to my mind it’s tedious and breaks the games rhythm up
And don’t start me off with the blaring bloody music every over change or run scored

And a pound for a cup .... pints were already poured time you got there. Flat as a fart

Could anyone be able to tell me what song every Australian batsman came out to please

Man Down Under?

 

[ShieldsGreggs4]

That Stanlake was shocking first spell. But his second spell was impressive, pushed it through as well.

Man Down Under?

Just typed that but nothing comes up. Was just a catchy tune. Most Batsman entered via it
