Champions Trophy 2025: Josh Inglis stars with 120* as Australia smash 356/5 to defeat England (351/8) by 5 wickets to win Match 4

[RedwoodOriginal]

Fantastic hundred by England's real best batsman

 

[Rana]

He came from Lincoln to watch England.

Good to know he didn’t come from China

 

[kingusama92]

Anything below 350 will be chased down by Australia.

Even 370-380 might not be enough if there's dew on top of this being a road.

 

[castortroy]

On these flat tracks in Pak, England must be favourites

 

[Devadwal]

Even 370-380 might not be enough if there's dew on top of this being a road.

Australia batting is head or bust

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Even 370-380 might not be enough if there's dew on top of this being a road.

Nah. Anything above 360 won't be chased most likely, dew or no dew.

 

[Vikram1989]

If wish aus have better bowlers than this garbage bowling in limited formats and better batsmen that sam garbage in test format.if not, they will be reeling in the middle tier for a long time.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

You need a left arm spinner to tie Brook down. And Australia have none.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Nah. Anything above 360 won't be chased most likely, dew or not dew.

THey will have a go at it for sure. But Smith has to produce one of those bbl type knocks.

 

[Rana]

Nah. Anything above 360 won't be chased most likely, dew or no dew.

Powerplay boss

All depends on it.

 

[Devadwal]

Its Australia fault that they didn't build any bench strength.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

THey will have a go at it for sure. But Smith has to produce one of those bbl type knocks.

They can try but I can't see any team chasing down 360

 

[jnaveen1980]

If wish aus have better bowlers than this garbage bowling in limited formats and better batsmen that sam garbage in test format.if not, they will be reeling in the middle tier for a long time.

Their batting is also poor in ODI recently without Head.

 

[Mesozoic]

Even 370-380 might not be enough if there's dew on top of this being a road.

There's a bit of quality in that English attack. Archer, Wood , Rashid ain't gonna just lie down and let them chase a huge target. Think England wins if they cross 370

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Missing Ponting in the comms. box. Probably my favorite Aussie commentator.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Its Australia fault that they didn't build any bench strength.

No They don't have. They have discussed this many times in their channels. Consstas is their next gen player. Look how he is playing. So loose.

 

[Mesozoic]

Root is a perfect no.3. Not sure why they are experimenting with Jamie Smith there. Messes up with the balance a bit.

Imagine Brook, Smith, Livingstone and Butler as your 4-7 when you're sitting at 200/2. Nightmare for the bowlers.

 

[mominsaigol]

Fantastic hundred by England's real best batsman

Who doesn't believe he's England's best on current form atm?

Brooks is a hack against left arm spin, Butler is ageing, Jamie smith is bang avg, livingstone is as unreliable as they come, Phil Salt has been a circus clown for a while now but even at his peak his game is more suited to t20 then odi

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Powerplay boss

All depends on it.

Unless England bowl absolute garbage they should defend anything above that 360 range imo

 

[Rana]

Stats guys

Highest ODI scores at Lahore? Team and Individual

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Stats guys

Highest ODI scores at Lahore? Team and Individual

Batting first 375. Batting 2nd 349 in 49 overs.

 

[Rana]

Unless England bowl absolute garbage they should defend anything above that 360 range imo

400 is 8 per over from get go

Powerplay of 80 means 320 in 240

That’s around 7ish

It’s a lot more manageable. 100 in 10 means 300 in 240 with dew and under lights.

 

[jamie smith]

Duckkett has scored 44 runs down the ground today, the most he has scored in the 'V' in any innings for England across formats.

 

[kingusama92]

Nah. Anything above 360 won't be chased most likely, dew or no dew.

Yeah, even I would side with the team with 360 on the board.

It depends on Head and the start he gives them. If you get 80-90 on the board in the PP all of a sudden that total looks straightforward.

 

[Rana]

Batting first 375. Batting 2nd 349 in 49 overs.

Who scored 375? Not Pakistan?

 

[jamie smith]

Only 16 overs are left.
Eng will get max 350.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Who scored 375? Not Pakistan?

Pakistan vs Zimbabwe I think in 2015

 

[Rana]

Pakistan vs Zimbabwe I think in 2015

Oh before Zimbu even came into the frame

 

[Vikram1989]

No They don't have. They have discussed this many times in their channels. Consstas is their next gen player. Look how he is playing. So loose.

Sam got schooled by boland in first class game and it became a big news here in aus.Sam played a reverse scoop boundary against boalnd and got out out by 7th ball for 10 runs.every one was mad at him.wannabees can cry much about Aussie mentality but they dont have any youngster with promis and technique to survive in longer formats(odi,tests)

 

[jamie smith]

Sa in 1996 wc ia.

Who scored 375? Not Pakistan?

 

[Nikhil_cric]

400 is 8 per over from get go

Such chases are very rare in ODI cricket. You can only back a team if there are English pitches circa 2015-19 or Indian pitches 2013-19 and those older kookaburra balls with smaller seams etc.

It's a bit tougher now

 

[jnaveen1980]

why would you go after Zampa. Brook brainfade

 

[kingusama92]

Huge wicket for Australia!

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

If anyone can Brook out its Zampa

Called it

 

[mominsaigol]

Called it

Nvm brooks is still useless against spin

 

[Mesozoic]

Well that just took off atleast 30 runs off England's total.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Called it

Same for Buttler I think. Zampa has a great H2H against Buttler.

 

[Vikram1989]

Yeah, even I would side with the team with 360 on the board.

It depends on Head and the start he gives them. If you get 80-90 on the board in the PP all of a sudden that total looks straightforward.

Archer and wood will take care of him i believe. He has that obvious short ball issues and both will go at his head for sure

 

[Rana]

Well that just took off atleast 30 runs off England's total.

Don’t worry Wood and Archer 10 balls 30 between them will recover it

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Nvm brooks is still useless against spin

He has only smashed Zahid and Abrar in Test matches on very flat pitches. Otherwise, he looks very weak against spin.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

2 more wickets in next 5 overs needed.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Same for Buttler I think. Zampa has a great H2H against Buttler.

Yeah. But I think Buttler will play his overs out. He would be stupid not to considering his record against Zampa

 

[jnaveen1980]

Klassen vs Zampa round 2 will be interesting. 89 balls 121 runs 3 dismissals so far

 

[Rana]

AuStRaLiA wIlL hApPiLy tAkE rIzWaN oVeR cArEY

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Zampa is the key to Australia's bowling in this tournament. Don't any of the others being a realistic threat.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Klassen vs Zampa round 2 will be interesting. 89 balls 121 runs 3 dismissals so far

And it's gonna be in Rawalpindi. Another dream batting surface.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Pitch gripping slightly after that 30 over mark

 

[Rana]

First appearance for Butler too I believe in Pakistan

Last time he just sat on the bench and watching England paste Pakistan all over the park

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

I don't know how well England's pacers will do on this pitch. Adil Rashid will be really important to win

 

[Kianig89]

Is there any Ben Ducckett Harry Brook kind of player in Paksitan, bring him on!

 

[Rana]

Who saw the three guys with Ponting, McGrath, Gilchrist shirts?

I think that was Babar, Rizwan and Shaheen in the crowed

 

[jnaveen1980]

And it's gonna be in Rawalpindi. Another dream batting surface.

He will massacre him if he bowls short like this to him. Today England missed so many half trackers

 

[Devadwal]

Brooks is overhyped .he can't Play spinners

 

[Rana]

Ducky bhai loves batting in Pakistan

He batted well in the lottery pitches too

 

[Nikhil_cric]

South Africa look a class above both these sides imo. And especially in terms of pace attack, it's not even a comparison.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Ducky bhai loves batting in Pakistan

He batted well in the lottery pitches too

The low bounce on these pitches doesn't seem to trouble him as much as other batters.

 

[shaz619]

Just got out of bed, not switched my TV on yet , how many runs did England score in the first 10 overs

 

[shaz619]

Looks like a good crowd, well done to the fans

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

He will massacre him if he bowls short like this to him. Today England missed so many half trackers

Yeah I know should be fun

 

[Kianig89]

Starc Cummins and Hazelwood saved for IPL. May he CA got committed you play Test cricket we give you IPL.

All three getting injured strange

 

[Devadwal]

Australia still can Stop them around 310 if they can take another wicket here

England 241/4 in 37 overs

 

[jnaveen1980]

Zampa got away with a lot of filths today. Full toss. long hop. Almost like shadab khan.

 

[shaz619]

RDB! What a choooon, didn’t know they listened to that in Pak

 

[BouncerGuy]

STAY ON TOPIC AND NO PERSONAL REMARKS PLEASE....TALK ABOUT AUSTRALIA VS ENGLAND GAME

 

[jnaveen1980]

Starc Cummins and Hazelwood saved for IPL. May he CA got committed you play Test cricket we give you IPL.

All three getting injured strange

That is where they make millions. THey can't afford to miss that.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Zampa completely out of form. At his best, he is ridiculously accurate for a wristie.

 

[shaz619]

Bilooni Teraa Laal Cover Drive !

 

[Kianig89]

Australia playing 2x capable keepers a luxury Pakistan never had.

Inglis at 5, Carey at 6

 

[sweep_shot]

This is a very flat pitch. Aussies have done well to restrict ENG to 242/4 (37.3 overs).

 

[shaz619]

Zampa completely out of form. At his best, he is ridiculously accurate for a wristie.

Wrist spin bowling is all psychological

 

[Rana]

That is where they make millions. THey can't afford to miss that.

Champion bowlers ki bari bari baatain hoti hain. They don’t need to prove anything in this Champion’s Trophy.

Koi baat nahi! Time for next generation to step up!

 

[mominsaigol]

Duckett gonna give me alot of fantasy points

 

[Rana]

Is there any Ben Ducckett Harry Brook kind of player in Paksitan, bring him on!

No! We will not break the Saya nexus!!

 

[Kianig89]

Finally a good game of cricket, after 3 dismal shows

 

[aboveandbeyond]

Any native Lahoris?

Will Dew have a bairing on the game?

 

[Kianig89]

Travis Head under Lahore lights, ball will travel. MARK Wood needs to keep his pace in check

 

[Kianig89]

Eng need 330+ to be on safe side

Australian batting is very strong

 

[jnaveen1980]

One of the ugliest left hander this Duckett is. Very agricultural

 

[gazza619]

Australia still in the game if the target is 350 max.

These are very short boundaries.

 

[Rana]

Eng need 330+ to be on safe side

Yeah they are playing Australia

Not Pakistan. They need 370+ to feel safe
