Australia [305/7] beat England [302/7] to win the ODI series 2-1

If England pull this back I can't imagine Maxwell and Carey sleeping tonight.
 
Aus still have a chance but I’ve never seen so many crazy chokes by a single team in one tour

They literally controlled 75-80% of almost all the games but the scoreline simply doesnt show. At crucial junctures, they were severely damaged by England.
 
The spinner was always a huge gamble for the last over.
Maxwell and Carey deserved this. What a thriller.
 
That was dumb captaincy from Morgan. You don't bowl a spinner in the last over but full credit to Australia.
 
Australia without smith and nearly choking in all games managed to beat a full strength England in their own backyard when England hadn't lost a home bilateral in 5 years. Let that sink in.
 
this is the biggest choke of this year. an even bigger choke than the pakistan losing the first test match.
 
[MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION], you deserve the humiliation. Australia were without Smith so don't make excuses such as Stokes wasn't there.

Never disrespect the greatest cricketing nation again. :starc

England was missing Stokes. Stokes is 30% of the England team.
 
Starc is known for his Wasim-esque hitting ability. It was blunder from Morgan to give Rashid the final over.

But what an incredible knock from Glenn Maxwell! One of the all-time great ODI knocks IMO.
 
How could I miss this game!!!! How could I?

Aussies at their best.
 
[MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] crying. His so called best limited over team lost a ODI series home to Australia without their best batsmen. And both T20 series and ODIs Australia bossed them. England got lucky in the T20 and last odi game but luck don't favour you all the time. Well deserved series win for Australia who bossed most of the series.
 
Wow, surprised Aus din’t choke again.
Well done.

Could’ve easily won the T20 as well. Alas, I am sure this will bring them joy.

Especially when Cummins and Starc are known for being decent with the bat, and big hitting. Very disappointed with Morgan here.

Always reminds me if Akram, using his long levers to hit a long ball. Morgan choked, nothing. Bowling a a spinner turning the ball in to Starc, a guy with such reach and ability
Just goes to show that last match was a fluke, Emgland can only win games when they are right on top. In close games when you need to be spot on with your strategy, they cant get the job done.
 
Congratulations to all Australian and especially Pakistani fans.
 
Another match endorsing that never to bowl spinner in the decisive over.
 
This has been a crazy series. And aussies have there nose in front most of the time. They should have won the T20 series and hell they have won ODI series

Top notch cricket from both teams. A sumptous treat for fans.

Wow. Among all the talks of Aussies weak middle order its has really been english middle order which has been letting them down with none of there top guns Roy Root , Morgan and butler firing

They erred in putting pressure on carey who was struggling early and thought too much about short boundaries.
 
England is the only team in the world that could have posted 300 after being 0/2 after 0.2 overs,

and England is also the only team in the world that could have taken the game to the last two deliveries after the equation that they found themselves after the 45th over in the Australian innings.

Indeed they are the most clutch team at the moment. Their mentality is amazing.

Every team will have a bad day, but the clutch teams make sure that they fight till the very end. This is the main factor that separates England from the rest at the moment.

Australia were 73-5 and still won the game. Why don't you mention that? If England won the game from that position you would be doing banghra and laps of honour for England.

Stop disrespecting the greatest cricketing nation. Everytime England and India lose its always because they have a bad day.

England have been outplayed for a majority of the series. But your English bias doesn't let you see that.

Also consider that root, butler have been tired after playing cricket for 2-3 months. Aussies were fresh. But u have to admit, this match was a monumental choke from eng

You did bhangra over Australia throughout the World Cup last summer and carried the “greatest cricketing nation” banner until you were left red-faced after what happened in the semifinal.

Australia is indeed the greatest cricketing nation, but this particular bunch of players have absolutely nothing to do with why Australia is the greatest cricketing nation.

England is the better ODI side at the moment, the rankings reflect that and the head to head record between the two sides over the last 3-4 years reflects that.

This was a good series win for Australia, but that is where it ends. Nothing more, nothing else.

If you do not understand that and once again ride a kangaroo and call a team with players like Finch, Warner, Stoinis, Zampa, Marsh “the greatest cricket nation”, then it will show that you are either a blind fan of Australian cricket or you don’t understand cricket in the first place.

That is exactly what makes a Glenn Maxwell. It is because of that confidence that Maxwell brought Australia in that game and won them the match.

He will continue to play like that, on bad days may look stupid, have string of failures but if he didnt played like that, he won't have been able to bring Australia in the game. You can't expect sensibility with Maxwell and in a way that is the reason why he managed to pull off this miracle.

If you get off your kangaroo which you have been riding since the start of the last World Cup, can you please explain what Finch, Warner, Stoinis, Marsh, Zampa, Labuschagne etc. have to do with Australia’s status as the “greatest cricketing nation”?

How was it a choke? England were on the back-foot since ball one, it was always an uphill battle once they were reduced to 0/2 after 0.2 overs.

Choke would be losing a match after having it in the bag, something which Australia nearly pulled off again today.
 
Maxwells form is the main reason why Australia won this series. His form is crucial for Australia's success

Of course if wasn’t a fluke. Australia is not Pakistan or Sri Lanka. They have the capability to beat the two best ODI sides (England and India) if they bring their A game. They have had a very good series.

yea, technically, its not specifically a choke. but eng should have easily won after having them 73-5. it was a freak partnership

Australia are the greatest cricketing nation. Whether you like it or not. I know you desperately want it to be England or India but that isn't happening anytime soon.


I have called England the best ODI team in the world many times. I truly respect what they have done.

What I don't like is how everytime England lose , you never say they are outplayed. You always say that hey are unlucky etc.

Admit it, if England won from the position Australia were in you would be still doing banghra now.

Australia maybe not be at their strongest now, but overall they are the strongest cricketing nation.

Since you want to mock Australia, you talk about how clutch England are. What happened in 2015,2011,2007,2003, and other WCs lol? :)))

England have a couple of good years and you lose the plot.
 
England always gives the tightest matches consistently. They are like pakistan except alot more high quality.

That is why they are my favorite team
 
[MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION], Warner is better than your boys Bairstow and Roy.

Can remember when you said Roy gave you Sehwag vibes. Sure looked like Sehwag in this series. :))) :)))

Can't forget the classic that Archer will be up there with the West Indies 70s and 80s bowler.

At least I don't overhype Australian cricketers like that.

England didn’t have enough runs in the end, especially with their two key bowlers having bad days at the office.

For me, the real turning point of the game was Australia dismissing Bairstow and Billings in the space of 3 overs, which effectively cost England 25-30 runs in the end, which would have been enough to defend in spite of heroics from Maxwell and Carey.

Australia were never out of the game today in terms of required run rate, which meant they were always able to exert pressure on England in spite of wickets falling. A very good chase indeed - Maxwell and Carey will struggle to play better knocks in their careers.
 
To those blaming Morgon for giving rashid last over fail to understand that it was not such a bad move but a ver bad first ball.

Rashid should have bowling leg spinners
Into the surface and letting starc take the challenge of clearing the long boundary. Rashid did petty well in the previous match against lefty and that might have influenced the decision

Also bear in mind wood extra pace can help get boundaries of knicks and edges so thats not aa straight forward.

It was petty poor first ball from Rashid but these things happens in close games

Where morgon really erred was to let off out of touch carey.

Aussies have dominated most part of games so deserving wimners they played much better than there ranking and put fancied england under the pump

Who is talking about overall strongest cricket nation?

When did I call England the most clutch team in history?

What has this England and Australia got to do with past English and Australian sides?

What is the point of going off a tangent in this fashion?

Aussies were one mishit away from losing for majority of the chase. Apart from that no ball wicket England could not produce one in time

Of course you overhype Australian cricketers.

You are calling the 5th ranked ODI team in the world the greatest cricket nation. I think the word overhype doesn’t do justice to what you are doing.

I have a better word, but it might be censored.

So Australia in terms of player quality, trophies, history,and consistency aren't the greatest cricketing nation?

Let me guess it's England for winning the 2019 WC.

I have never said something like " xyz Australian bowler will be up there with the West Indies 70s and 80s bowler" like you did with Archer. That's what you call over hyping. Also saying Roy was on Sehwag level was embarrassing. Can you honestly say that isn't over hyping? Please respond. Don't ignore this point.

I agree with the notion that Australia is the greatest cricket nation. When have I not?

Again, what is so hard to understand about the fact that this current Australian team have nothing to do with Australia’s status as the greatest cricket nation?

My only problem is that you talk about Australia as the greatest cricket nation whenever this current Australian team wins. In other words, why do you relate the success of this Australia team with their past glory?

You were doing bhangra during the World Cup last year and talked about Australia’s championship mentality. I told you a dozen times that this Australian team had nothing to do with their championship mentality of the past, but you didn’t listen.

Then you saw what happened to their championship mentality in the semifinal.

Australia may not be at their best but they can still beat England in their golden era. How regularly did England beat Australia at their best? They were beaten black and blue in every nation. This is why I'm saying they are the greatest cricketing nation. Even in a weakish period they are still capable of achieving good results.

I don't understand why you are ignoring the parts about Archer and Roy. If a Pakistan fan said that you wouldn't let them forget it.

That is what you call over hyping. Archer on the level of 70s and 80s West Indies bowlers. That was a hilarious comment.

Tbf roy did bat like sehwag when given a go in tests. Exactly how sehwag batted outside SC.
 
Morgan lost the game when he was taking the p*** with keeping Root on for a spell of 7-8 overs when he could have gone for the kill a lot earlier. You can’t trust Rashid as your match winner bowler, he is halwa for the vast majority of clean hitters in world cricket.
 
England only have themselves to blame. At 78-5 or whatever it was, Archer got Carey off a no ball and that ultimately cost them the game. To make matters worse, Buttler dropped Maxwell. He really needs to work on his keeping.
 
What a comeback by the Aussies! Should have won 3-0 ODI’s and 2-1 T20’s.

This great comeback reminds me when they took India to cleaners last year when they were 2-0 down. Well done.

And Pakistani players can only dream about such a fightback.

Once again, and maybe for the 100th and the last time, I agree that Australia is the greatest cricket nation.

Australia beating England in their golden era is not because Australia is the greatest cricket nation.

This current team has 7-8 players that will not get anywhere near the greatest Australian XI.

They are a very good side today but England and India are better. However, although this is England’s best ever ODI side, it is not comparable to the great Australian and West Indies sides of the past.

Thus, performing against this England side cannot be compared to performing against the 2000s Australian team.

You are basically making up points on your own and then end up arguing against them.

No one has ever said that Australia is not the greatest cricket nation or that this England side is better than the 2000s Australia.

The bar is so low for England greatest ODI 11 . It's really not that hard to get into. It's not easy to produce cricketers of Warne,McGrath, and Ponting .
