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

[Joseph Gomes]

Aus just got to keep beleiving that they can get 250

250 is wayyyy to much lol, 230 is gettable

 

[PakFan764]

Which Rashid you talking about?

The op is talking about Adil Rashid.
I'm talking about Rashid Khan

 

[Markhor]

Tennis and Hockey

I can assure you hockey is not more popular than cricket in England.

 

[Mueez]

If they get 200 in 45 overs.

Australia might as well touch the 240s.

 

[bantu]

I agree, and if England reach the final it will be broadcast on free to air TV (currently not a single England match is televised on free stations).

It could be just the tonic needed to spark interest in the sport again. Though I don't mind New Zealand, and Kane Williamson getting his hands on the trophy.

I agree wholeheartedly ... even though they dumped India out .. No grudges ... They have been a fantastic tournament team for a long time ....

 

[Joseph Gomes]

The op is talking about Adil Rashid.
I'm talking about Rashid Khan

Why you talking about Rashid Khan though? Adil Rashid is the one being grilled.

 

[Smudger]

250 is wayyyy to much lol, 230 is gettable

30-35 in the last 3

Maybe not, but Tennis is.

They just need a bit of edges here and there they can get there.

 

[jnaveen1980]

England made a tactical mistake of bowling Archer out. Wood in the back end goes at 6.32.

 

[Green Patriot]

200 up.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Plunkett their middle overs expert is yet to get a wicket.

 

[Joseph Gomes]

Mitchell Starc is invaluable in WC.

 

[Robert]

Funny how everyone on this thread except me is so totally pro-Australia.

 

[Joseph Gomes]

People side with the better team, losing isn't very popular.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Funny how everyone on this thread except me is so totally pro-Australia.

That is just an illusion. Most of us just shares their take on match scenario.

 

[Mueez]

They just need a bit of edges here and there they can get there.

Yeah luck favors the brave...

Smith should carry on batting like this and let Starc do the hard-hitting.

 

[Markhor]

Maybe not, but Tennis is.

More of an middle and upper class sport. Wimbledon audiences tend to be in that demographic.

 

[Artaxerxes]

England should restrict Australia to below 250.

 

[Markhor]

This is a very handy partnership.

Shades of Bevan-Bichel in 2003 ?

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Funny how everyone on this thread except me is so totally pro-Australia.

England along with India are not likeable

 

[Mueez]

So Woakes, England’s best bowler today will only bowl 8 overs?

Wow.

 

[Mueez]

Excellent over so far by Woakes.

 

[Markhor]

Shame about Plunkett's performance.

Sky showed in middle overs he has a better SR than even Waqar Younis.

 

[Mueez]

I think it is high.

 

[jnaveen1980]

That looked a lot closer. Woakes was a touch unlucky. That was a crucial call.

 

[jnaveen1980]

NZ was 211 after 46.1
Australia is 211 after 46.1

wow

 

[Joseph Gomes]

Australia getting close to 235-240, which is cam be defended.

Good match today. Both teams fought back several times.

 

[Mueez]

Good running by these two.

 

[Chennai_cricket_fan]

240 will be a heck of a good score on this wicket and in a Semi Final

 

[Mueez]

Atleast the boundaries aren’t short today

 

[jnaveen1980]

Smith is unable to go nuts. Frankly he doesn't have that extra gear. Decent total. You want to make it much more competitive. 18 balls left. What do you gotta lose. Throw the kitchen sink.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

250 come on

 

[Joseph Gomes]

240 will be a heck of a good score on this wicket and in a Semi Final

It's 50/50, either England will collapse or they'll cruise. England is certainly more talented than India.

 

[Adijazz1706]

3 to go, 33 to get to 250, Smith needs to start connecting his slogs

 

[Green Patriot]

Unlucky smith.

 

[Jeetlodil]

This could have been a classic 100

 

[Mueez]

Smith out.

Deserved a hundred.

 

[Hawkeye]

Aus out of the cup.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Game over

 

[Joseph Gomes]

Smith out.

Deserved a hundred.

He should've gotten it sooner, always hard to get a ton after 45th over when you start taking risks.

 

[Adijazz1706]

Jinxed it LoL )

 

[Jeetlodil]

Starc forced Smith for the run and gets out. Its upto him in the bowling now

 

[Green Patriot]

Back to back wickets.
Aus might get bowled out.

 

[Robert]

Bowl 'em out boys.

 

[Mueez]

He should've gotten it sooner, always hard to get a ton after 45th over when you start taking risks.

Yeah but anyways a good knock.

 

[Joseph Gomes]

Australia might be 20 runs short.

 

[Robert]

People side with the better team, losing isn't very popular.

I'm people and I always shout for the underdog.

But remind me who is rated #1?

 

[Adijazz1706]

People were belittling Woakes in comparison with Pandya, egg firmly on face

 

[jnaveen1980]

What a poor display Australian middle order.

 

[Mueez]

Smith’s run out was a brilliant effort by Buttler.

 

[Joseph Gomes]

I'm people and I always shout for the underdog.

But remind me who is rated #1?

Australia who won 5 World Cups

 

[jnaveen1980]

220 magic number. Can they create some panic

 

[jnaveen1980]

This wood is such a thoughtless bowler for a pacy bowler.

 

[Joseph Gomes]

I am so glad this World Cup wasn't a disaster like the atrocious 2015 one. Runfests in ODIs are disgusting. A balanced ODI World Cup is a treat to watch.

 

[Mueez]

222 up!

 

[jnaveen1980]

Finally used his pace very well instead of dishing out short balls.

 

[AdamM97]

Australian batting depends way too much on Warner.

 

[Mueez]

All out.

 

[Green Patriot]

Bowled out.
224 is the target.

 

[Jeetlodil]

about 30 runs short but more than what Aus made in 96 and 99 Semi final
