Australia (201/7) defeat England (165/6) comfortably by 36 runs to go top of Group B in ICC World Cup 2024

[jnaveen1980]

Stunning catch by Starky.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Thats a stunner by Starc

 

[jnaveen1980]

They'll fall behind the rate. Need a combination of poor bowling and ridiculously good hitting to win this now.

Yea.. pitch is slowing down. Bowling slow makes it even harder.

 

[Human786]

Mo the giant killer is here

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Yea.. pitch is slowing down. Bowling slow makes it even harder.

This is why this is a bat first surface. Poor toss decision by Buttler and also poor selection of Wood over Toppley.

 

[Human786]

99/3 in 11

 

[mominsaigol]

Hahaha, Finally, Aussie in control baby.

England you're in trouble

 

[mominsaigol]

Can he keep?

Yeah, he's a keeper batsmen.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Time for Maxwell

 

[jnaveen1980]

This is why it is harder to beat Aussies in crunch games. Their fielding is next level.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Bit too much for England?

 

[Human786]

101 from 48 needed

 

[Deewana Mastana]

101 off 48

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Dots are building

 

[Deewana Mastana]

4 off 6 Moeen
4 off 8 Bairstow

 

[jnaveen1980]

They conceded way too many 200. I don't think this England could have chased even 160

 

[Markhor]

AUS have turned the screws so well since the PP.

 

[jnaveen1980]

India may play both Kuldeep and Chahal if they play here

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Aussies in the asecdency

 

[Human786]

98 from 42

 

[Deewana Mastana]

India may play both Kuldeep and Chahal if they play here

They'll play them both even tomorrow

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Moeen 6 off Maxwell

 

[jnaveen1980]

11 runs from Stoinis, Maxwell, Zampa. . pathetic

 

[Deewana Mastana]

2 sixes off 2 balls by Moeen

 

[Shaka81]

Maxwell losing this for Australia

 

[jnaveen1980]

You need atleast two spin bashers in the middle order. India has mostly pace bashers. Shreyas Iyer and Dube are spin bashers.

 

[Human786]

Mo slaying Maxi

 

[Human786]

78 from 36

 

[Deewana Mastana]

3rd six by Moeen in 5 balls

 

[jnaveen1980]

78 from 36

Way too easy these days. But pitch is the only factor

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Meanwhile Bairstow struggles

Moeen keeping them in the game

 

[Human786]

124/4

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Maxwell firing it quicker and quicker foolishly.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

7 off 13 and gone Bairstow

 

[jnaveen1980]

Bairstow hacked it. He is an opener. He cannot play this midle order role successfully.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Time for Harry Brook

 

[Shaka81]

Probably a good wicket for England to lose with Bairstow struggling so much

 

[jnaveen1980]

Timing is very hard once you start changing up pace

 

[RidiculousMan]

Yeah, he's a keeper batsmen.

I think they already had planned their squad. They aren't like Pakistan who plan things spontaneously and shake things up.

They of course must have a path for McGurk and he probably knows that as well.

They work within the system and they let the system do the job for them.

 

[RidiculousMan]

7 off 13 and gone Bairstow

Dukett should come in for them

 

[jnaveen1980]

As Hayden said Australia a great defensive side.

 

[Human786]

76 from 30

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Game over

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Brilliant execution by Hazlewood. Completely tied Brook down

 

[Human786]

night folks

 

[jnaveen1980]

Brook is hitting the air. I am looking at career of Brook. It seems like He has bashed only pakistan? Then just one test series against NZ. Otherwise average.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Don't think England will even get to 160 at this rate.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Moeen gone. Australia all over 3 Lions like a rash

 

[mominsaigol]

Ik, their grooming him to be an opener, they have no intention of making him no 3. And Warner and Travis can't be replaces atm.

Still I'd like to have him in the squad atleast. He doesn't need to start ahead of Warner or Travis. Just have him their incase.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Look at the change ups. Look at the field set. Clinical. Cummins has expanded his skill sets in the last year or so.

 

[mominsaigol]

Basically this pitch was simple.

PP is easy but after that each over gets more and more difficult to play.

Australia had a better PP and played overs 7-20 better.

Main difference is the middle order. England and Australian openers are class even though English openers take a bit more time.

But bairstow has been out of it since 2023 and sorry to say this but Brook, Mooen Ali, and bairstow are medicore. Their good for a few cameos but not for long innings. Their not on the tier of stones.

 

[jnaveen1980]

All said and done England bowling is full of pie chuckers. They can't outbat teams here against decent bowling side.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Don't think England will even get to 160 at this rate.

On this bat first pitch Scotland were 90/0 after 10 overs. England lucky to have gotten away with a point. I don't think a full 40 overs match would have been easy for England.

Australian bowling is far more intelligent. England bowling is extremely stupid. I am being generous here. Brainless full pace, full deliveries on both sides with bad field sets.

 

[jnaveen1980]

78 in 6 overs is not difficult these days.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

England have not looked like themselves in this tournament. Today, their bowlers really lacked discipline in the powerplay and as a result they were on the backfoot from the outset. You can't go all out pace on these wickets. It;s not Australia or South Africa. Pace off the ball on the right length can be far more effective at building pressure and creating chances. Fact is, if you concede 200+ against Australia, chances are you will not chase that total down because Australia have the best pace attack in the tournament.

They might be able to scrape through the first round if the weather doesn't f them. But they will get killed in the next round if their bowlers are not more disciplined on these pitches.

 

[jnaveen1980]

England may get kicked out from first round if they have another rained out match

 

[jnaveen1980]

Too many poor overs.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

3 of the bowlers aren't too bad... Wood, Rashid and Archer are good bowlers.

But if even one of them has a bad day and then you have jacks, Livingston, Moeen and Chris Jordan ( I don't rate him at all) to come then they can easily get batted out of the game.

Wood is a pie chucker. He quiet often bowls brainlessly. He doesn't bowl according to the pitch.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Australia can give 5 extra overs to England they still own't chase the target

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Australian bowling is far more intelligent. England bowling is extremely stupid. I am being generous here. Brainless full pace, full deliveries on both sides with bad field sets.

Meanwhile Australian bowlers bowling to their fields perfectly.

Wood is bad for these conditions. You need to swing it upfront ,change ups , go fuller and force batters to hit into the wind etc. Wood is not the best option for such conditions.

Stark is a weak link just saying

 

[jnaveen1980]

Morgan still thinks they can win? lol

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Sam Curran would have been perfect for this wicket.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Stark is a weak link just saying

Yea.. without swing he is a pie chucker too. But they had others to cover him.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Sam Curran would have been perfect for this wicket.

Of all their bowlers he is the smartest.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Stark is a weak link just saying

Starc has a tendency to bowl some rubbish but he always comes back with a jaffa. I can't think of many other bowlers that can go from looking ordinary to looking extraordinary in the same over.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Powerful batting line up only 5 down they still have not touched 150.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Today he bowled short but made an Ok comeback after being taken to the cleaners by Warner. I think he will adjust to the conditions in the coming games.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Sam Curran would have been perfect for this wicket.

Or even Toppley. He swings the ball the most and he can bowl cutters from that great height.

 

[NeVerMind]

Cummins, best captain across all formats...what an accolade to have

 

[Devadwal]

What happened to England batting depth?? Boundaries are dry up

 

[jnaveen1980]

Wood has good ER only against Afghanistan, SL and Pakistan.

 

[Devadwal]

Cummins, best captain across all formats...what an accolade to have

He is not captain of T20. Marsh is captain of Australia

 

[jnaveen1980]

What happened to England batting depth?? Boundaries are dry up

Pretty one-dimensional line up. For years whenever they come up on a wicket like this they look clueless.

 

[NeVerMind]

He is not captain of T20. Marsh is captain of Australia

Oh yeah....my bad...still one of the best all format player...

 

[jnaveen1980]

Rain can screw up ENgland here.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

England's experimental 2nd over of the game by Jacks could be coming to bite them here.
