[#GreenRoars]

England win the toss and choose to bowl against unchanged Australia.

 

[zabalestmsm]

Arent there any bowlers who average under 30 in list A cricket in England? Woakes, Plunkett etc average above 30 and are turning out to be average ODI bowlers!

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

why is finn still playing for england, he is awful

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

took moeen two bowls for a wicket, rashid is not international standard.

 

[Boi]

Ripper from Moeen but Bailey couldve played that a lot better.

300 on cards, eng have no chance.

 

[Justcrazy]

Partnership 47 runs .

 

[Markhor]

Huge wicket for England as Maxwell goes LBW, he was looking dangerous.

 

[Justcrazy]

Maxwell one short of fifty.

 

[Justcrazy]

Good comeback by poms here , they need to be tight.

Moeen

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

some brutal shots there, 300 on cards...

 

[Markhor]

19 off another Moeen over. Get an air hostess on those balls - went a long long way.

 

[Justcrazy]

19 of that over , Aussies get momentum.

 

[Justcrazy]

Four

Aussies now on charge.

 

[Abdullah719]

Rubbish captaincy by Morgan, he's got plenty of overs between his pacers and he goes for Moeen at this stage. Should easily get 300 here now.

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

if they make 300, eng should forfeit, cant see eng getting near that total.

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

only one team has scored 300 here, sri lanka..

[Energetic]

Australia shouldn't be wasting time playing England in ODIs.

 

[Justcrazy]

Good hit

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

Australia shouldn't be wasting time playing England in ODIs.

eng are missing something in the odi's, teams not right...

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

if poms chase this i will eat my hat, just not good enough...

 

[CricketAnalyst]

if poms chase this i will eat my hat, just not good enough...

Pics please when it happens.

 

[JaDed]

What a catch!!

 

[JaDed]

Aussies will remain the best in ODIs unless other teams improve their fielding that catch by the captain was brilliant! Hales

 

[JaDed]

only one team has scored 300 here, sri lanka..

What you mean only one team? India chased a total above 300 and its the biggest chase on the ground.

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

it was india..

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

not good enough from taylor,

 

[Enforcer]

Pics please when it happens.

I don't think England can chase this. But feel it will be lot closer than the 1st ODI.

 

[Justcrazy]

I don't think England can chase this. But feel it will be lot closer than the 1st ODI.

They have the batting to chase , batting till number 10

 

[CricketAnalyst]

I don't think England can chase this. But feel it will be lot closer than the 1st ODI.

Even the 1st ODI they should have. They were well in front and choked. I don't see why it should be expected that they will choke.

Reality is Australia did nothing special last time, and this time was good, but in neither effort has anyone got more than 70, so clearly there's no reason why it should be impossible.

That said if Morgan, Stokes and Buttler play like they did in the first ODI even 250 would be enough.

 

[Justcrazy]

Roy gone

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

not good enough from taylor, hes playing badly...

 

[Justcrazy]

Required rate less than 7

[Justcrazy]

Taylor getting aggressive

 

[CricketAnalyst]

not good enough from taylor, hes playing badly...

Everyone's entitled a nervy start against genuine fast bowling. He's a good batsman and he's beginning to get in stride.

 

[Justcrazy]

109 / 2

19 overs , this two need to carry on here for another 5 overs atleast

 

[Energetic]

Instead of England wasting Australia's time in ODIs, they should play teams ranked from 5 to 10 more often than not. ODIs between Australia and England since 11 have been really one-sided. Bowling attack of England's is so boring to watch. Lacks any real penetration.

Morgan is the key. If he can remain till the end, England will easily win, otherwise it is difficult.

 

[Justcrazy]

Obstructing the field review here - shades of Inzamam all those years ago.

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

he did touch it, remember inzamam, eng cannot cry

 

[Markhor]

He's out ! Stokes gone for obstructing the field.

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

thats out..

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

why not put moeen on, they done it again...

 

[Sam1]

Just lost all respect for Smith personally.

 

[MarkCooper]

Does Merv Hughes actually work for a living? All I ever see him doing is sitting in the crowd. Is he unemployed?

Merv is working, he takes plane loads of people on cricket watching tours and sits with them so he's getting paid to watch the cricket. As part of the tour you get to hang around with Merv and listen to him tell his stories.

 

[eradicator]

Great counterattack by the English, Morgan and Plunkett have put on 55 of 20. Balls

 

[cricfan967]

Solid partnership, hope there isn't an anti-climax

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

5 people have been out obstructing fielder, 4 of them pakistanis...
