What's new

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

Can comprehend the charade of chasing why teams fell in the trap of chasing heck Eng have lost 2 while chasing
 
Root beatifully set up by Starc. Drifts two across Root then brings the next one back into his pads, all at a very good length drawing him forward. Take note Archer and Woakes.

Intelligent buildup to the wicket. Morgan needed to play a captain's innings.
 
Ho hooo.Aussies the champs.Complete opposite of Eng for last 4 years but now performing when it matters
 
I was looking forward to an exciting match

I guess New Zealand vs Australia will be more exciting than this
 
Lets praise this world class display of fast bowling more then England being terrible, the set up was fantastic by Starc
 
finally, the starc of old has come back. i think england might actually not make it to the semi finals. pakistan and taptaan finally have a chance. I thought morgan and bairstow would make a big partnership, not to be
 
What a bunch of flat track bullies. I get the feeling this game is pivotal if england are going to win the trophy like people pegged them for. Lose this and i don't think they will even if they get to the semis somehow.
 
Oh wow England proving every1 wrong. But one think few posters speculated was England might crumble under pressure in WC matches and seems like its happening.

Crazy decision from Morgan to bowl first given their difficulties in chases so far.
Sarfraz too made the same mistake twice against Aus and Ind
 
Going to be a big loss for England.

No complaints - 2 beautiful deliveries to dismiss Vince and Root.

Morgan bottled it tbh.
 
Starc was finished according to many posters here...

Awesome spell of bowling.

For some reason, chasing seems impossible in this WC. Win the toss and bat first seems to me the mantra all teams should follow.

Bowl first was right decision, england bowlers were not good they miss early wickets.
 
Innings in tatters... 26-3

Pak needs this. Omens... omens. Inshallah.
 
Some poster was saying ability of Aussies to raise their game in WC is overrated..:smith

They must not know cricket then.... predicted it way before WC started that Aus will win this WC... Aus 'll keep surprising teams...
 
This English team are just a bunch of flat track bullies...A bit a swing and spin and they start dancing.
 
Stokes might look to play one his tuk tuk innings. England need to consolidate for a bit here.
 
Crazy that Hazelwood,Handscomb,Turner are sitting out.The Gaints are rising again to dominate
 
I think New-Zealand , Australia, and India will reach semies for sure.. England,pak,bangla can fight for the 4th spot.
 
Where's Mamoon? He's excused the English team having an off-day when we beat them but then defeat to Sri Lanka and now this...how does he explain this?
 
Bowl first was right decision, england bowlers were not good they miss early wickets.

In high pressure matches u back urself to see off the first 10 overs playing cautiously because batting first is such an obvious advantage. But England seem to be stubborn and little over-confident of their abilities which was evident in game against Sri Lanka too.
 
Btw every one is saying that the ball is swinging. Harsha Bhogle is also tweeting it.

To me it's clear that Starc is not swinging the ball.

Behrendoff did swing it for 8-12 balls but that's it.
