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

[jnaveen1980]

I was expecting England to falter at the knockout stages due to pressure lol This is just humiliation if they fail to qualify for the semis.

 

[sindhiboy]

england are not only missing roy, but are missing tom curran and liam plunkett who i think could have reduced aus's score dramitically.

 

[zulfiqar]

i don't know why but i want England to win although an Australian win greatly increases our chances to reach semis
maybe the truth deep down i know that our team doesn't deserve to be in semis

Get over yourself man! I never understood why certain teams "deserve" to qualify (in cricket or any other sport). The team with the most points qualifies because they deserve it! It's pretty simple!

 

[Tankzy8]

Hahah last episode he said Pakistan are out and how Bangladesh are far better than Pakistan too

 

[Mueez]

Eng vs Pak series was a blessing in disguise?

England got overconfident because of it....

 

[RainStopsPlay]

Kholi was praying to God literally so that Afghanistan wicket falls. It was some sight lol. You guys have tough games coming up against WI and Eng, glad you didnt botch up against Afghanistan, otherwise you would’ve been in trouble as well.

We've an easy win coming against BD boys too! India can send their B Team and still thrash the BD boys to oblivion! Remember you're India's bunny!

 

[ads101]

Moen's truly awful in LOI. You can argue his use in tests though he's not great there either. Such a waste of a position poor with bat and ball. Stokes already fills the allrounder position.

 

[Kianig89]

You have to give credit to Starc . He has bailed Australia out against WI, Pak and now England. He is a champion bowler.

No doubt he is the best bowler of this WC No. 1

But Australian weakness being hidden so far

Lack of fifth bowler
Weak middle order
Long tail

 

[zulfiqar]

The only teams that don't "deserve" to qualify are teams that cheated or foul play was involved. If you want to stretch it, maybe you can include teams that were unfairly or controversially aided by umpires (i.e. it was an organized effort - like NBA helping a certain team get to the Finals, etc.) but that last point is all conspiracy theory stuff really.

Agreed

Brutal

 

[Kianig89]

Is Nz the best balanced side in this WC so far

 

[topspin]

lol anyone catch that from Michael Clarke? called him "Rashid Khan"

 

[sindhiboy]

tom curran and plunkett should replace woakes and either moeen or rashid. cant have both them playing curran plunket are much better with the bat than moeen or rashid +archer.

Yes woakes has not been bad. but not good enough. They are also much better than woakes and moeen in the death overs and are much . more penetrative in the middle overs.

Rashid's bad form is costing england a lot.

 

[Syed1]

Man this is turning out to be yet another Aussie WC.... only India can stop them and that is an even worse prospect.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Bairstow's dismissal summarized what a faulty approach they were practicing for 4 years. A cross batted swat to square leg. You need top order to go all the way till the end. You cannot keep throwing the bat around and expecting everyone to come off.

 

[Mueez]

Lyon >>> Zampa.

 

[saeed5646]

Lol root hahhahahah

 

[Plumb]

yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy England did it.........

....

they reached 200

 

[Kianig89]

Change in personnel for Eng May Be two crucial games ahead do or die

 

[sindhiboy]

lol anyone catch that from Michael Clarke? called him "Rashid Khan"

not the first time he has confused the two

 

[Mueez]

Man this is turning out to be yet another Aussie WC.... only India can stop them and that is an even worse prospect.

Maybe Pakistan on their day...?

 

[jnaveen1980]

lol anyone catch that from Michael Clarke? called him "Rashid Khan"

It has become a habit for him. mixing up with names lol

 

[Kianig89]

Fantastic stuff Finch and co.

 

[saeed5646]

Australia is doing nothing wrong .Amazing team work from finch and maxi

 

[Plumb]

It has become a habit for him. mixing up with names lol

May be excited with getting closer to the win

 

[Hasan123]

Woakes gone.

 

[RainStopsPlay]

He seems to do that quite regularly with the bat these days. Has he actually produced a decent innings in world cup games?

He's having an abysmal WC tournament thus far! ENG are wasting a spot in the name of an allrounder! Heck! Even Kohli wouldn't dare to have him in the playing XI based on his RCB's IPL exploits!

 

[saeed5646]

210 all out will be icing on the cake

 

[Plumb]

Another one ...... and Aussie looking to get better in the NRR

 

[szundercover]

You can depend on a team like Australia to win a match for our cause,I just wish I could depend on pakistan the same way.

 

[sindhiboy]

fielding has won australia the game

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Woakes must be gutted to get out on that shot. That would probably have been a 6 with fielders from most other teams.

 

[bluevision]

If England loses against Ind and NZ, can they still qualify for the SF?

 

[szundercover]

If England loses against Ind and NZ, can they still qualify for the SF?

only if pakistan looses tommorow

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Too good. Imagine their lower order clicks Aus will be winning games by 200

 

[Mueez]

Catch of the tournament for me.

 

[Plumb]

fielding has won australia the game

had we held on to our catches... 15 dropped catches for pak and those are not half chances those are catches...

 

[jnaveen1980]

May be excited with getting closer to the win

He is far more grounded than these English hype machines in the commentary box.

 

[Syed1]

If England loses against Ind and NZ, can they still qualify for the SF?

Nope... they would have to hope Pak loses all their matches from here on out... that's only hope for them.

 

[jnaveen1980]

fielding has won australia the game

I wouldn't say near perfect lol If it was near perfect game would have been over a while ago. Smith missed 3 direct hits very close to the stumps

 

[Syed1]

At this rate England might even come 6th or 7th. Expect BD and SL to surpass them.




Edit: sorry BD won't surpass them they are at 7 points with 2 games to go against India and Pak.

 

[bujhee kom]

Is [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] ok?

 

[msb314]

If England loses against Ind and NZ, can they still qualify for the SF?

Yes if Pak, Ban, SL and WI lose their games or if the SL vs WI and Pak vs Ban games are washed off

 

[szundercover]

I cant wait for tommorows game.

 

[Syed1]

Can't wait for post match press conference and how the English came throws the toy out of the pram

 

[saeed5646]

England are officially new bilateral bulley .Sa have given throne to England

 

[pakistan cricket fan]

hahaha overrated English Team.

 

[Syed1]

Garoor ka sir hamesha neechay

 

[Mkumar825]

only if pakistan looses tommorow

England only have 8 point if Pak won 2 match out of 3 then Pak go through semi

 

[Kianig89]

Is this England home game tbh Pak v SA looked a proper home game for Pakistan hopefully Edgbaston will be full of Pakistan support

 

[bluevision]

only if pakistan looses tommorow

Great! Need to be back home early from office, tomorrow. Will be interesting to see which Pakistani side turns up tomorrow.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Edit: sorry BD won't surpass them they are at 7 points with 2 games to go against India and Pak.

That will be surreal. Don't care if India wins or not (will be happy if they win ). This was an unimaginable script at the start of the tournament. After whitewashing Pakistan in bliateral and losing the all important game against them, losing to a side that had no real stars and getting thumped by old enemy.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Starc deserves a 5fer.

Positive for England, dry day on Sunday v India and England play very well in Birmingham.

 

[GoUgandaCranes]

Logged in to see if England had scored either 500 or 600 but this is what I get to see.

 

[Plumb]

Is [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] ok? ��

England had a bad day... Aussie were lucky and the usual **

 

[Hasan123]

Australia have got their tactics bang on today.

 

[Syed1]

360 is par score against us )

 

[TheNeutralist]

I think the problem is with the pitch, England played well

 

[andy0204]

England are officially new bilateral bulley .Sa have given throne to England

They choked 3 times in wc final,2 times champions trophy final

 

[Mueez]

‘We are going to score 500.’

 

[Kianig89]

5fer for Behrendorf means how rubbish the Aussie bowling is apart from Starc

 

[anikrc1]

Nope... they would have to hope Pak loses all their matches from here on out... that's only hope for them.

That would not be enough as that would mean Bd will have 9 pts

 

[andy0204]

‘We are going to score 500.’

Unless the pitch is flat

 

[Syed1]

Ppers dont jump ahead

Eng has better chance to quality than Pak BD Sl

How better chance? England have to beat India and NZ the two form and unbeaten sides in the tourney.... while Pak has to get over BD and AFG. We can even drop the NZ game and still qualify now that England has lost.

 

[Boi]

Seems like a tournament for flukes with 3 fluke losses for England. Bodes well for us I guess

 

[TheRock]

England are officially new bilateral bulley .Sa have given throne to England

It seems Kevin Peterson has transferred all the Proteas DNA to the Poms. LOL

 

[bujhee kom]

Logged in to see if England had scored either 500 or 600 but this is what I get to see.

Underrated comment.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Wow this has been a complete mauling.

England will be under severe pressure going into the next two games.

 

[Green Patriot]

5fer for Behrendroff

 

[szundercover]

5fer for Behrendorf means how rubbish the Aussie bowling is apart from Starc

Beherendoff is a beast new ball bowler,better than starc and cummins with the new ball.

 

[jnaveen1980]

5fer for Behrendorf means how rubbish the Aussie bowling is apart from Starc

He is lie the Bruce Reid from the 80s. I won't under-estimate him. He looks innocuous. But he is very good channel bowler. Even bowled well in India.

 

[Sunzi]

Seems like a tournament for flukes with 3 fluke losses for England. Bodes well for us I guess

Its Destiny

 

[topspin]

[MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION], overrated Aussies eh ? Golden generation for England?

Stop overeating your favourite team. This is Australia not a club side. They have aura your heros will never have.

Humble pie served right there

 

[bujhee kom]

When his favourites team lose it's a fluke.

 

[Mamoon]

Very depressing day. Morgan and Bairstow let the team down today with their recklessness. Moeen is a complete duffer so no hopes from him.

We don’t deserve favors from any team. Hopefully New Zealand will put us out of our misery tomorrow.

I am very sad today.

 

[Mueez]

Because of today’s match I expect England to crumble in pressure against India...

KulCha is going to wreak a havoc.

 

[andy0204]

It seems Kevin Peterson has transferred all the Proteas DNA to the Poms. LOL

but he won worldt20 for them

 

[jnaveen1980]

Aussies know how to win the world cup matches something SA , England can only dream of

 

[szundercover]

Wow this has been a complete mauling.

England will be under severe pressure going into the next two games.

I dont think india will let them win,england world cup is over.
