[Nuekboi]

The more difficult the situation, the younger Root looks

 

[WebGuru]

England need to make 22 more runs to bypass the heaviest defeat in T20I...Lanka holds the record against Kenya they won by 172 runs...

 

[Pakistani93]

How much more needed to avoid the follow-on?

 

[WebGuru]

Fawad!

 

[Pakistani93]

Anyone remember that famous choke? Morgan, Butler and Bopara...All are playing today

Which one? the champions trophy final?

 

[Naheem]

finally fawad

 

[WebGuru]

Bad career start for Fawad...First ball for 4

 

[WebGuru]

Which one? the champions trophy final?

yup

 

[Naheem]

1st ball and 4

 

[Nuekboi]

Pakistani to Indian in and England vs Australia match? Classic

 

[Bashira_taeli]

Fawad preferring the leg side line so far

 

[WebGuru]

10 runs in first international over of fawad

 

[Naheem]

root and strike rate 178

 

[Pakistani93]

English and Australian fans here pretend they dont care about LOI cricket. But there is a full house today for a mickey mouse T20 match .

 

[Naheem]

fawad

 

[Naheem]

151 need from 60 balls
i think it is possible and i think i m mad also

 

[Naheem]

fawad not a great start

 

[Naheem]

not out

 

[Naheem]

ravi gone

 

[London_Lahori]

Well batted Ravi!

 

[On_the_up]

Decent inns from Ravi in normal circumstances

 

[London_Lahori]

Root has shown a lot of steel and mental strength to come back from getting hit in the grill.

 

[On_the_up]

Seemed to have a good bit of wood, pinged nicely off it.

 

[Naheem]

sloppy

 

[Naheem]

fawad

 

[Naheem]

fawad at debut
4-0-43-0
bad luck buddy

 

[On_the_up]

If England get past 200, they should be pretty satisfied with the response.

After the whirlwind knock by Finch, a win was almost impossible.

 

[Aman]

Fawad is rubbish.

 

[On_the_up]

Root just keeps swiping them through midwiket

 

[On_the_up]

Fawad is rubbish.

Too early to judge, especially in a 20-20 match

 

[On_the_up]

Butler with a maximum

 

[On_the_up]

4 overs left, over 90 to win

 

[On_the_up]

Good recovery from England, they were 40 odd for 4 at one stage, now 158-5

 

[London_Lahori]

Bumble: 'what a shot that is, is it front foot is it back foot'?

Memories of kami straight driving Steyn for six in the T2009 WC Semi and Nasser uttered those exact same words.

[On_the_up]

What a shot by Root, 6 timed over point

 

[On_the_up]

20 balls left

19 fours should do it

 

[On_the_up]

Free hit coming up

 

[On_the_up]

67 req off 11

Snookers needed now for England

 

[On_the_up]

Fawad proves he is a Pakistani, by letting one slip trough his fingers for 4

 

[On_the_up]

Root 17 away from a 100

 

[James]

Most runs ever scored in a T20 international today.

Great batting display from the Aussies and a pretty good one from England too.

 

[London_Lahori]

Shane Watson just said to the umpire 'that's bull****'

He should be expecting a visit from the match referee there

 

[Naheem]

can root get 100 for eng

 

[Naheem]

root need 11 from 6balls

 

[Naheem]

nice shot

 

[On_the_up]

Thats the 200 up

Excellent effort by England

 

[OZGOD]

Aaron Finch's knock is a perfect example of how a sun shines on a dog's bum once in a while.

 

[Aman]

No hundred for Root

 

[On_the_up]

Faulkner upRoots Butler's leg stump

Broad's in

[Naheem]

match over good by

 

[James]

Congrats Aussies for a 39 run win!

Thought it would be a much bigger margin tbh

 

[London_Lahori]

Well done joe root

Especially after getting nailed.

 

[On_the_up]

Excellent bit of Finchitting decided the match.

[hadi123]

Rankin should've played instead of Finn, Aus would've scored less

 

[hadi123]

good match, was a great innings by both teams, especially Aaron Finch. I wish Warner hadn't got out as Root could've bowled to him and that would be unmissbale
