Australia vs England | Semi Final 2, World Cup | Edgbaston | 11th July, 2019 | Australia innings

[leonidas_alexandar]

England draw first blood - both openers gone. Oh boy.

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

Another one? I don't think so

 

[shailee]

Lucky Handscomb

 

[sindhiboy]

Is this Handscombs’ first game?

Yup. Probably the only cricketer to make a wc debut in the semi final

Handscomb is brilliant. Very unlucky not to make it in the squad in the first place

 

[Amirforpresident]

hahah love the stonecold face from Marais Erasmus when teams are appealing

 

[Aman]

The ball is moving around, Starc would have run through England here.

 

[Hasan123]

England all over Australia.

 

[Aman]

These two need to see off the new ball.

 

[sindhiboy]

Warner and finch are boring batsmen in the first 10 overs. I'm only looking forward to smith's partnership with handscomb.

My wish came true

 

[Kianig89]

Aus not like the Aus of old may be becuse they have a hack as captain unlike the rocks of yesteryear like Taylor Waugh n Ponting

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

Steve hasn't looked comfortable in this world cup at all

 

[Kianig89]

hopefully Aus will get 250 dot want a dead contest

 

[Aman]

They need to get their head in the game and look to see off the new ball.

 

[shah_1]

Archer has improved England team by 100%

 

[Amirforpresident]

Aus not like the Aus of old may be becuse they have a hack as captain unlike the rocks of yesteryear like Taylor Waugh n Ponting

Finch a hack??? No way

 

[GLORY OF '92]

250 needed

 

[Mueez]

Steve hasn't looked comfortable in this world cup at all

He has an elbow injury.

 

[Kianig89]

Carey should come next justin langer take note

 

[Mueez]

The Ashes this year will be mouthwatering contest to see.

Can’t wait!

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

Chris has been bowling wonderful here.

 

[Pakhs]

Warner huge wicket, Woakes turning out to be the bowler of the tournament has taken lots of important wickets early on.

 

[Ram Shekhar]

Same ball.. Kohli out Handscomb not out.. cricket is a game of small margins!

 

[Ram Shekhar]

Calling it here and now.. England will be champions. They deserve it every ounce.

 

[Kianig89]

Eng in complete control

 

[Joseph Gomes]

Aus not like the Aus of old may be becuse they have a hack as captain unlike the rocks of yesteryear like Taylor Waugh n Ponting

Finch is NOT a hack, have you ever watched him play?

 

[Hasan123]

Handscomb is excellent at rotating the strike.

 

[Aman]

260 -270 is what Aus should be looking for survive the new ball and it should get easier.

 

[Mainul]

After my team failed to reach the semi, I always wanted that a new team which hasn't won WC yet wins the trophy.

 

[Bewal Express]

Maybe not- this SF could be a cracker

 

[Kianig89]

carey to get promotion

 

[Joseph Gomes]

260 -270 is what Aus should be looking for survive the new ball and it should get easier.

You supporting Australia? Wut?

 

[Kianig89]

Finch is NOT a hack, have you ever watched him play?

Yes how is he not a hack

 

[Ab Fan]

Smith facing the music.

 

[Aman]

You supporting Australia? Wut?

Yes.

 

[Kriketer]

England vs Aussies semi, in England...can't get any bigger than this for English folks and half of the stadium is empty?!!! Disgraceful

 

[Joseph Gomes]

Yes how is he not a hack

You trolling right? You know what a hack is?

 

[Kianig89]

Rashid the only weak link in this eng side

 

[Joseph Gomes]

Yes.

Kiwi supporting Australia is bizarre lol

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

Chal Nikal.brilliant bowling from chris

 

[shah_1]

England into the final

 

[Kianig89]

You trolling right? You know what a hack is?

Sharejjl Khan Fakhar Zaman Awais Zia Shahzeb Hasan Andre Fletcher

3 down Handscomb )

 

[Zeshan547]

You supporting Australia? Wut?[/QUOTE

I think Oz can defend even 200

 

[Hasan123]

Lol didn't expect this from Australia.

 

[Mueez]

Brilliant display of bowling.

Well done England, well done.

 

[Mean&Green]

Ehhhh alhumdulliah now just a couple more and you’re into the tail come on englandddd

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

He didn't have any feet movement.Looked nothing special

 

[shailee]

Anything above 225 will be challenging for England.

 

[Kianig89]

Lucky Aussies WI imploded Pak collapsed and they got a SF berth

 

[Aman]

Good toss to lose for England lol.

Could roll Aus over for a small total and have little pressure.

 

[Mainul]

Come on England, strangle the throat of Aussies

 

[Pakhs]

And another England got one foot in the final already.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Come on Aussies. Still favourites.

 

[Hasan123]

If England win and Woakes and Archer bowl like on Sunday, don't see NZ doing much.

 

[Mueez]

Starc and Cummins would be difficult to handle on this surface.

Pitch has bounce and nice carry.

 

[Joseph Gomes]

England vs Aussies semi, in England...can't get any bigger than this for English folks and half of the stadium is empty?!!! Disgraceful

Cricket is not popular in England. India vs England test series had the grounds empty. John Cena is more popular than Alistair Cook (who's knighted)

 

[Ozymandiasza]

ENG vs NZ final it seems. At least we'll have a team win it for the first time. Both of them are due.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Eng vs NZ
Eng winner

 

[Ellipsism]

They were better of picking Wade ahead of Handscomb.

 

[Hasan123]

Steve Smith is doing the right thing. Trying to see this spell off.

 

[Kianig89]

The most one sided SF last time NZ v Pak 99 NZ v SL 11

 

[Kianig89]

barmy army

 

[Mehndi155]

Australia to win

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Aussies need 220

 

[Kianig89]

Aussie now playing for pride

 

[Hasan123]

Carey is in good form.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Aussie now playing for pride

Haha bhai it's Australia. Only fools rule them out.

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

LOL Steve Smith 1 off 17 balls

 

[Joseph Gomes]

Sharejjl Khan Fakhar Zaman Awais Zia Shahzeb Hasan Andre Fletcher

3 down Handscomb )

Finch is better than all those batsmen combined. Add in Imam as well.

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

If England win and Woakes and Archer bowl like on Sunday, don't see NZ doing much.

Wicket is assisting. Rem eng are flat track bullies..

 

[Hasan123]

Archer is impressive.

 

[Mehndi155]

That was nasty

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

Why is stonis still playin..

 

[sindhiboy]

Eng have already won the world cup. Don't see aus coming out of this.

And new Zealand will most likely not be any match for England in the final

 

[Hasan123]

Vicious bouncer.

 

[AAli98]

This is Australia serial world cup winners. Get to 230 watch chokers buttler & co show a masterclass in choking even SA would be proud of.

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

Oh this is nasty. I hope he is fine.

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

Wait till starc and cummins bowl..

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

He might need stitches I guess

 

[sindhiboy]

Archer hype has been justified. Will no doubt be a dangerous bowler

Presently looks better than rabada

 

[Joseph Gomes]

Wicket is assisting. Rem eng are flat track bullies..

Australia are more reliant on their top 3 than India. India at least had Dhoni who can score 50 off 80 on any pitch. Australia's middle order are glorified tailenders.
