Australia [285/7] defeat England [221] by 64 runs and reach semi-finals of World Cup 2019

[Hasan123]

Finch looks in good form.

 

[jnaveen1980]

If you can't pick up wickets in these conditions with new ball, you should consider retirement lol Great conditions for seamers.

 

[Hitman]

Is there a single fan supporting England today?

Nothing would please more more than an England loss.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Mohammad Amir would have thoroughly enjoyed these conditions. I think bar few early balls they are not using the conditions very well. They can still pick up a wicket or two. But they should stop bowling short.

 

[Markhor]

David Willey would've loved bowling in these conditions.

 

[Hawkeye]

What happened in the 80s and 90s has nothing to do with this English team. They did falter in the last two events, but it is time for them to show that they have learned.

Alright, so it isn't a false label then, that they can't handle pressure.

You say they have learned, but from the PAK and SL match, it sure did tell us how much they've learned.

And today, where the conditions are ideal for bowling, ball seaming and swinging miles, England still haven't been able to buy a wicket so far.

I haven't seen this much bowler-friendly conditions in England (ODIs) in a super long time.

Yet, till now Australia seems to be on top - showing they're a better team than the bilaterals-bully England. Though ENG still have some 5 overs to target them.

Who are you backing to win? Stick your neck out.

 

[jnaveen1980]

David Willey would've loved bowling in these conditions.

True. He is their best swing bowling option.

Mamoon is supporting England.

 

[Hasan123]

Another drop by England. Lol.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Englislh fans are already mad at Vince lol Now he dropped a toughie.

 

[Firebat]

Finch having real trouble with the extra bounce and seam. Slashed one over slips in the first over, now edged and nearly caught at point.

 

[shah_1]

Too much of back of the length bowling in these conditions.

 

[Hawkeye]

All of IND is supporting England today, because an ENG win doesn't help Pak.

Of course, rest of the world is supporting Australia.

Nobody really likes this overrated and overhyped ENG team, especially their captain who hasn't really inspired fans. Plus "350 is par" and "we'll make 500".

 

[Hasan123]

13 drops . Wow.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Finch having real trouble with the extra bounce and seam. Slashed one over slips in the first over, now edged and nearly caught at point.

Wrong ball to Finch. I don't know what the England think does. Bhuvi made Finch life miserable for the lat few months with that incoming balls on a length. Got him out thrice, rapped him on pads, beating him numerous times

 

[Captain caveman]

Yessss

I don't think aussies will have any problem with archer! I may be wrong, but this is going to be a battle between englands batting vs aussies batting - who can score more. I don't see either bowling attacks being the major deciding factor!

 

[Boi]

Of course, rest of the world is supporting Australia.

If England win today and lose the other two with Australia losing all their remaining games, Pakistan has a shot at coming 3rd.

 

[Hawkeye]

Finch having real trouble with the extra bounce and seam. Slashed one over slips in the first over, now edged and nearly caught at point.

Best bowling conditions in England in many years I reckon.

In ODIs, I haven't seen this extent of seam+swing friendly conditions in a really long time.

So far OZs doing a fine job surviving.

England will come hard at India That may be the reason?

 

[shah_1]

Close

Review

 

[jnaveen1980]

Finally the right ball to Finch.

 

[Markhor]

13 drops . Wow.

Steve Rixon needs to coach England and Pakiatan

 

[Hasan123]

Not out.

 

[shah_1]

Umpire's call

 

[jnaveen1980]

Keep bowling the same ball. He will get out eventually.

 

[Firebat]

Finch survives another scare, has not looked comfortable at all.

 

[saeed5646]

Luck is with aus

 

[Ram Shekhar]

Blood hell it feels like i am watching test match. No one can match the crowds atmosphere we asians bring to the stadiums.

Both teams are gearing up for the Ashes

 

[Boi]

England can chase anything here against the Aussies

 

[jnaveen1980]

In these conditions you need a bit of luck. Especially frontfoot plonker like Finch

 

[Hasan123]

What a ball.

 

[shah_1]

Keep bowling the same ball. He will get out eventually.

Why can't they see clips of Bhuvi bowling to Finch?

 

[shah_1]

Right length

Pitch it up

 

[Hawkeye]

Damn, is this a Test match?

The ball is moving miles!

OZ openers doing a GREAT job surviving this so far - just survive first 10 overs, and a HUGE score is on the cards.

 

[Ram Shekhar]

Australia are slowly but surely taking control here. England shouldn't have lost to Sri Lanka. You do not want to run into Australia under so much pressure!

 

[jnaveen1980]

When was the last time English new ball attack looked threatening from both ends lol Been ages

 

[shah_1]

Nasser is a quality commentator

 

[saeed5646]

There is alot of pain in naseer commentary he is desperate for england win

 

[shah_1]

When was the last time English new ball attack looked threatening from both ends lol Been ages

Archer has been poor so far

 

[Hawkeye]

England will come hard at India That may be the reason?

Didn't get you, but the primary reason is the PAK factor here for most of the fans.

 

[Ram Shekhar]

If the ball moves this way in the second innings, I can't see a single English batsman who can survive and score against Starc and Cummins

 

[jnaveen1980]

One thing about England attack is , in typical helpful english conditions you have to keep repeating the same thing. I don't see that happening. They keep altering line and length. It gives Aussies breathing space. They are not relentless like Bhuvi or Amir.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

England can chase anything here against the Aussies

Haha. Wake up it's a WC. Anything over 250 is a tough chase.

 

[shah_1]

Too full

3 runs

 

[jnaveen1980]

Clouderson is another guy who would repeat the same thing over and over until he gets his man in these conditions.

 

[Hasan123]

One of these 2 has to go big. Smith and Khawaja will.keep it ticking nicely in the middle overs. Excellent start.

 

[fight_club]

Only in this ovet has woakes hit right length. Finch bein lucky but thats the way he plays

I still believe england must have batted first this kookabora ball doesnt do much after 3 or 4 overs

Any score near 300 cat will out among pigens not looking good for england looking grear for pakistan

 

[jnaveen1980]

Didn't get you, but the primary reason is the PAK factor here for most of the fans.

I totally root Australia !!. I can't wait to see the smug face of Hussain if they get eliminated.

 

[Ram Shekhar]

Haha. Wake up it's a WC. Anything over 250 is a tough chase.

Exactly. All other teams have understood already but why does Morgan want to chase in all games?! Baffling tactics.. They already lost 2 games chasing against Pakistan and Sri Lanka...

 

[Boi]

Haha. Wake up it's a WC. Anything over 250 is a tough chase.

Let’s hope not. Pakistan need England to win today.

 

[Rana]

ICC ranked this match and ticket prices the same as India v Pakistan.

Such a dead atmosphere in the crowed.

 

[Hasan123]

England have bowled decently but no wickets. [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] if it was Amir you would be calling it not good enough. Let's see if you hold your favourite team to the same standard.

 

[saeed5646]

Naseer and autherton are on 2 best commentator in the world. Always enjoy there analysis and insight of game

 

[Ram Shekhar]

I totally root Australia !!. I can't wait to see the smug face of Hussain if they get eliminated.

Everyone wants England out. This I think, all would agree.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Par for the course. SA might not win world cups. But their atmoshpere is priceless. Best SENA country atmosphere.

 

[WebGuru]

Asian Fans actually enjoy watching England lose even if it's in a bilateral series and outcome means nothing for their team.

 

[Captain caveman]

England making the same mistake as pak did against india, winning the toss and electing to field!

 

[Ram Shekhar]

ICC ranked this match and ticket prices the same as India v Pakistan.

Such a dead atmosphere in the crowed.

This rivalry is equal if not better than India Pakistan..

 

[shah_1]

Boult would have taken 2 or 3 wickets at least on this pitch

 

[jnaveen1980]

Everyone wants England out. This I think, all would agree.

Too much bragging, throwing slights at other teams saying they are planning to score 500 runs, hyping their players to the hilt, playing only on belters.

 

[shah_1]

3 balls hitting the stump

Not decent at all

 

[jnaveen1980]

Boult would have taken 2 or 3 wickets at least on this pitch

You betcha. They are bowling trash. He is the best guy by some distance in using swinging conditions.

 

[saeed5646]

Woah this seems like test wicket.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Entire sub continent might be rooting for an Aussie win today

 

[Mamoon]

Fluke batting by this pair so far. They should buy lottery tickets today. I can't believe their luck.

 

[Hasan123]

There have been some close calls.

I think everyone loves English pounds and pounding

 

[jnaveen1980]

Exactly. All other teams have understood already but why does Morgan want to chase in all games?! Baffling tactics.. They already lost 2 games chasing against Pakistan and Sri Lanka...

Fear of imploding in the swinging conditions? lol For all the bravado talks about their batting depth they are not confident about surviving and putting up a total and defend.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Fluke batting by this pair so far. They should buy lottery tickets today. I can't believe their luck.

Aided by rubbish bowling on this track. Any decent right arm swing bowler would have swallowed Finch thrice by now.

 

[saeed5646]

Rasheed and imran tahir fielding have improved.they are fielding better tha our youngsta beauty

 

[Boi]

Archer getting exposed

 

[Hasan123]

If people want to know why it's a dead atmosphere it's because there is a lot of MCC members in the ground. They are usually older people who attend Lord's games. If it was at another ground , there could have been more younger fans which would have ensured a better atmosphere than this.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pitch map of both bowlers will be interesting to watch.

 

[Ram Shekhar]

Fear of imploding in the swinging conditions? lol For all the bravado talks about their batting depth they are not confident about surviving and putting up a total and defend.

Yes, true. English don't trust their bowling as much as their batting. In a way, they're a perfect bat first template team, similar to India between 2008-11. Sad they haven't realized that.

 

[shah_1]

There have been some close calls.

Should have had two wickets by now

They have bowled too short on this pitch, the percentage of right length is low.

 

[Markhor]

Pakistan would be two down on this surface so far. Australia have somehow managed to weather the storm.

 

[Hadi Rizvi]

Jaffas almost every other over.

How do you not get a wicket on this pitch

 

[Hasan123]

Fluke batting by this pair so far. They should buy lottery tickets today. I can't believe their luck.

Everything is a fluke against your favourite teams.

 

[shah_1]

Archer has been a flop so far.

 

[Ram Shekhar]

For all the struggles, Australia are still going at 4.5 an over.. scary times await England.
