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

[Hasan123]

Maxwell is dangerous in the last 5 overs. Nerds to give himself a chance.

 

[barah_admi]

Beautiful blows from Maxwell!

 

[Titan24]

Someone? Please

Sorry I didn’t listen. I am pretty sure you can find some youtube videos or articles regarding the same.

He should take calculated chances till 45th over. 6 overs left between Moeen bhai and Adil

 

[uberkoen]

They should get to 320+ here easily.

 

[Madplayer]

Aussied losing the plot.

 

[Hasan123]

Pathetic . Again.

 

[uberkoen]

If Australia win today and we win tomorrow, how does that look for our chances to qualify for the Semi-Final?

 

[Hasan123]

Bring Carey in. He will at least ensure Australia bat the overs out.

 

[jnaveen1980]

It is a certainty it is going to be another wimpy finish by Australia. They just don't get the combination right.

 

[Titan24]

Soft dismissal from Maxwell, i have rarely seen him performing except against Pak.

 

[Green Patriot]

Maxwell hasnt shown much form with the bat in this WC.

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

Eng back in game big time

 

[Gullycricket]

I think Wood is better than overhyped Archer

 

[barah_admi]

haha what was that? Looked like slip catching practice in primary school

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pathetic . Again.

Playing with a bit common sense is looked down upon, if the batsman has some "special skillset". I can't believe Aussies embrace this afridi culture. They are better than that. Good example from the best Andrew Symonds who could be lethal just like Maxie. But he would not throw his wicket away.

 

[Hasan123]

Stonis is usually a slow starter. He's been backed a lot by Australian selectors.

 

[uberkoen]

 

[GLORY OF '92]

That was poor. These dinky shots never work for power players

 

[Ram Shekhar]

Maxwell's wicket may pull back Australia by 20-30 runs.

He would probably be better off batting at 6. Carey or Stonis should bat at 5 depending on the situation.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Mahendra singh stoinis will take his time.

 

[wrongun]

Probably case of misleading stats? What is his role in theory? You need pick players to play a certain role. Not pick players to fill up the gap.

One of the top 3 has to bat long (30+ overs) & score a hundred. Our strategy is to keep wickets in hand & accelerate late. That's his role.

 

[Pk716]

Why didn't they pick Handscomb. He seemed like an excellent batsman. Is he a pure wicket keeper or part time?

 

[Hasan123]

Spinners on. This would have been perfect for Maxi.

 

[jnaveen1980]

One of the top 3 has to bat long (30+ overs) & score a hundred. Our strategy is to keep wickets in hand & accelerate late. That's his role.

I understand if the acceleration is provided by khawaja himself. in the last overs. If his role is just plodding around and expecting someone else to finish the game then he is useless.

Decent middle/lower midde order hitter is a rare breed. Aussies dont have many such, Turner is another one who has his own technical issues.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Gun outfielder too.

 

[Hasan123]

Stonis taking his time.

Stonis is Tailender against spin

 

[Hawkeye]

Damn. Aus struggling now. Still not a bad total, just won't reach 350.

 

[Fahdi]

What the hell is Stoinis doing? There are just 10 overs left and he is tuk tuking? No need to go berserk but you don't have to block everything

 

[wrongun]

We see that as "setting up the game". You don't need 7 blaster/finishers in a lineup.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Stonis taking his time.

He is the Australian version of Mahi.

Lol! Looks like Archer was pretty vocal few years ago against fellow cricketers.

 

[Ram Shekhar]

Is Stoinis supposed to be the successor of Watson? Where is James Faulkner these days? He was so good in 2015 world cup and finishing off matches in general.. Turner also looked good in the recent series against India. Australia have got their team balance wrong...

 

[Hasan123]

He is the Australian version of Mahi.

He usually takes his time to get going. Probably would have better if he came at 5.

 

[Gullycricket]

Lol that was funny.No sandpaper on board

 

[wrongun]

loool, calm down bro. Innings in the balance here, take a breath & wait for the right ball & until you can see it bigger.

 

[jnaveen1980]

They definitely need fine tuning of their batting order. Khawaja doesn't fit their scheme of things. To be honest Marsh can also do the same. But he has better range of shots.

 

[TamiL_GarvaM!]

Just feel tide's turning....Eng is tightening it now....if they string a few dots and get SS....they would be fav...

 

[Hasan123]

Smith needs to bat till the end.

 

[Hasan123]

Marsh is also better player of spin. He should replace Khawaja.

This tweet from 2016 ???

 

[hisham_ashraf]

Maxwell won't give himself a chance at the crease and on the other hand you have Stoinis who will give himself wayyyyyyy too much time to settle in and then get out cheaply.
They could have sent in Carey in place of Maxwell and after that Maxwell should have come.

 

[Mkumar825]

Can Australia cross 325???

 

[jnaveen1980]

wow .. Australia's death over struggles continue. They still can't find the right combo for death overs. Handscomb is such a good batsman.

 

[Gullycricket]

Stonis playing a match losing innings so far

 

[Titan24]

Stoinis is mediocre

 

[Mkumar825]

Brainfaid

 

[Fahdi]

loool, calm down bro. Innings in the balance here, take a breath & wait for the right ball & until you can see it bigger.

Sure but don't block everything till you get going. 7 off 14 is a joke at this stage. A few extra singles and he could easily manage 10 off 14 or 11 off 14 allowing Smith the set batsman to play.


As I write he has just been ran out. Terrible innings here.

 

[wrongun]

facepalm

 

[Hasan123]

Stonis wasnt even looking at Smith.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Wasted a golden chance of scoring 300 plus.

He looked a bit out of his depth vs Rashid & the occasion really.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Execellent fight back by england. Aus can get max 275.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Not a must win match for Australia. So they will give everything when they bowl.

 

[Ram Shekhar]

Even Mitch Marsh would have done better than this Stoinis... very bad selection!

 

[Boi]

Is there no better cricketer in Australia than frikin stoinis. Guy is awful but struts around as if he is some superstar

 

[Hasan123]

Carey is still a good player. All is not lost.

 

[Ram Shekhar]

Australia is essentially Warner + Finch + Smith. If you get them, it's easy thereafter..

 

[DeadlyYorker]

Replay zoom showed smith looking at stoinis coming for second and didnt even say no or anything to refuse the run just turn back, i think itd 100% smith's fault

 

[Ram Shekhar]

Wood + Archer is a deadly combo. I hope India tackles them intelligently in our next match!

 

[Hasan123]

These 2 should bat 3/4 overs then accelerate.

 

[Mkumar825]

I think 300 run enough here .

 

[Hasan123]

If Australia can early wickets, I wouldn't trust this English line up for versus Lyon.

 

[rollingstoned]

He was thinking of the big picture. Stoinis never gets going.

 

[DeadlyYorker]

He was thinking of the big picture. Stoinis never gets going.

Lol true but still should try to show some effort

 

[TamiL_GarvaM!]

they gotta get 325.....eng would be under tremendous pressure

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

Aus are givin game away

 

[Boi]

The amount of hate Khawaja gets from these ex Aussie cricketers is pretty sad.

 

[DeadlyYorker]

they gotta get 325.....eng would be under tremendous pressure

325?even 300 Looks very hard ,c@nt see them cross it

 

[barah_admi]

Aus at this stage will be lucky to get 270-80, their lower order just isnt good enough and Smith is not a savage striker, which is what they need right now.

 

[Hasan123]

Smith should bat at 3. It's Steve Smith, Khawaja is vastly inferior to him.

 

[DeadlyYorker]

The amount of hate Khawaja gets from these ex Aussie cricketers is pretty sad.

But indian commies love shami

 

[TamiL_GarvaM!]

325?even 300 Looks very hard ,c@nt see them cross it

True...pitch also looks to have slowed down....but 290 is doable...need two big overs of good hitting...

 

[AAli98]

270 should do it for aus the opening partnership is a match winning one. SL game has damaged eng
