England [231/9] beat Australia [207] by 24 runs to win the second ODI

[Justcrazy]

The totak is not that big , Aussies should be able to pull this one , they can afford to play out a few quiet overs

 

[Rana]

What a ball by Archer. Reminds me of the Shoaib Akhtar delivery to Tendulkar in the 2003 wc!

 

[Justcrazy]

Beautiful ball by Archer , He gets a wicket , Poms have got wickets at right time here

 

[Nikhil_cric]

last 8 overs of English innings and 2 overs of stoinis really cost Australia here.

 

[Justcrazy]

There is another edge , but luckily for Aussies falls short

 

[MenInG]

WICKET! Stoinis c Buttler b Archer 9 – Australia 37-2
Sensational from Archer! A brutish short ball has Stoinis all at sea and the only thing the batsman can do is balloon behind off the glove. England right in this game!

 

[Mueez]

Almost!

What a match. It is nice to see bowlers bowling fire!

 

[Justcrazy]

44 . 2

10 overs

Match in balance.

 

[Titan24]

If Rashid can ball as well as he did in the first match it can be a close game

 

[Justcrazy]

Aussies need a partnership here , required rate is not too high.

 

[Justcrazy]

Finch looking solid here .

 

[MenInG]

 

[Titan24]

Sam Curran is yet to ball and England are 16 overs into the innings with ball. With his pace I am not sure how effective he will be with older ball.

 

[Justcrazy]

Solid partnership developing , Aussies are in control of this game.

 

[MMHS]

35 short which they could have potentially made had they not removed a player for 'tactical' reasons, but no probs Rash to skittle these Aussies providing a few early wickets are taken me thinks I have a feeling it's going to be Rash's day

I think, problem for England in that their strategy is built on uneven balance - they put every egg in batting basket. Lop-side of that is the day batsmen fail, they don’t have any escape route.

 

[Justcrazy]

100 up for Aussies.

 

[Justcrazy]

I think, problem for England in that their strategy is built on uneven balance - they put every egg in batting basket. Lop-side of that is the day batsmen fail, they don’t have any escape route.

On Most days they bank on batting out the opposition, they mostly click. They have power hitters as well as depth in batting.

 

[MenInG]

Cant believe this England side won the World Cup lol

Finch 50

 

[Smudger]

Cant believe this England side won the World Cup lol

Finch 50

It was probably the greatest fluke in sports history

 

[Mesozoic]

White wash awaiting Poms.

 

[Justcrazy]

Aussies never let required rate go over 4.8 here , that is good rotation of strike.

 

[The Viper]

Over 25 – Australia 121-2 (Labuschagne 37, Finch 62) – TARGET 232

 

[Justcrazy]

105 from 23 overs

Aussies crusing along here

 

[Justcrazy]

100 runs partnership , match winning effort.

 

[MenInG]

 

[Hasan123]

Australia have outplayed England in both games so far. Don't want to hear excuses about Stokes being out.

 

[MenInG]

WICKET! Labuschagne lbw b Woakes 48 – Australia 144-3

Woakes bellows towards umpire Gough for Labuschagne lbw after beating the batsman on his inside edge but there is only a shake of the head from the on-field official. Morgan promptly calls for the review and it works, hitting middle stump. Twist?

 

[Hasan123]

Labuschange is going to be a quality ODI player.

 

[Justcrazy]

Australia need 87 runs in 19 overs. RRR: 4.61

 

[Hasan123]

Marsh gone. Australias problem in LO is getting off to good starts with the bat and then collapsing. Could today be a repeat of that?

 

[Ab Fan]

Australia have an impressive top four with Warner, Finch, Smith and Labu. Maxwell and Marsh two finishers as well. Need to drop Stoinis for the good. Cummins and Starc are good no.8 and 9's.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Can England pull something like they did in the first t20

 

[Hasan123]

Australia have an impressive top four with Warner, Finch, Smith and Labu. Maxwell and Marsh two finishers as well. Need to drop Stoinis for the good. Cummins and Starc are good no.8 and 9's.

If Carey can start firing , it's a top class batting line up.

 

[Justcrazy]

Two quick wickets , Poms making a comeback here.

 

[Hasan123]

Time for Alex Carey to step up. Australia have persisted with him despite his form being poor . Time to repay the faith.

 

[Hasan123]

Dam Aaron Finch is gone. Gonna be a close finish.

 

[MMHS]

The asking is such that batting out 59 overs Aussies will win. If Poms are to make a comeback here needs to remove Finch

 

[Titan24]

Top stuff from Woakes and Archer. Eng right back in the game.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Finch gone now. England are favourites here

 

[marlonbrowndo]

England will fancy their chances against Maxwell with the form he’s in and win the conditions not being that easy

 

[Justcrazy]

Out

Aussies under pressure now !!! 5 down

 

[Hasan123]

Hope Maxwell attacks. Some boundaries would put England under pressure. But need to see of Woakes and Archer first.

 

[Hasan123]

Warne and Rob Key in the com box are hilarious.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Why didn’t smith play?

 

[MMHS]

Hope Maxwell attacks. Some boundaries would put England under pressure. But need to see of Woakes and Archer first.

English bowling table is a dirty picture - captain has almost finished his main two bowlers by 33rd over

 

[Hasan123]

Morgan took a risk with bowling Archer out and it got England back into the game. This is the captaincy I like to see.

 

[Hasan123]

English bowling table is a dirty picture - captain has almost finished his main two bowlers by 33rd over��

Well it's a risk that looks like it is going to work.

 

[Mueez]

England - comeback kings.

Take a bow Morgan. Take a bow.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

The choke )

 

[marlonbrowndo]

England will fancy their chances against Maxwell with the form he’s in and win the conditions not being that easy

Called it

 

[shariqnoor]

As I've said, Morgan is the best captain in world cricket right now. They need to get him in the Test team and captain that as well.

 

[Ab Fan]

That was peach from Woakes.

 

[Titan24]

Why didn’t smith play?

Had concussion. Passed the tests but Aus decided to rest him from this match as precautionary measure.

 

[MenInG]

Archer on Fire!

 

[Hasan123]

Top class bowling from Woakes and Archer.

 

[Titan24]

Just like any top captain Morgan extracts the best out of his players

 

[marlonbrowndo]

The run rate will also become a factor soon. I expect it to hit 7 in a few overs. With 6 down it’s gonna get tough

 

[Ab Fan]

Losing Maxwell was a big blow. If he stayed, he could have got that big over in Rashid's spell and suddenly 80 would have reduced to 60. Now it's gonna be hard.

 

[Mamoon]

Archer is the best in the world. The most charismatic, box office fast bowler since....I don’t know.

 

[Hasan123]

Chance for Carey to get himself into some form.

 

[Ahmed216]

Archer is the best in the world. The most charismatic, box office fast bowler since....I don’t know.

Bhuvneshwar kumar is better

 

[Smudger]

Archer is the best in the world. The most charismatic, box office fast bowler since....I don’t know.

He is not proven in tests but is very good in ODI
ODIs:
Starc
Bumrah
Archer
Tests:
Cummins
Bumrah
Rabada
Daylight
Sunlight
Moonlight
Archer

 

[marlonbrowndo]

5 dots excellent over. Every dot ball here is huge. Wickets will come

 

[Hasan123]

Cummins had been desperate for that chance since he started facing Rashid.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

The run rate will also become a factor soon. I expect it to hit 7 in a few overs. With 6 down it’s gonna get tough

It’s already a run a ball

 

[Ab Fan]

Archer is the best in the world. The most charismatic, box office fast bowler since....I don’t know.

He is brilliant in LOs, this performance is top notch, actually better than the World Cup one.

 

[shah_1]

Archer is a great white ball bowler but he flopped against WI and Pakistan batsmen in England

 

[Hasan123]

Curran strikes.

 

[Hasan123]

Australia dominated this game until Labuschange got out. Will be such a shame if they lose .

 

[Hasan123]

Good catch.

 

[Ahmed216]

Archer is a great white ball bowler but he flopped against WI and Pakistan batsmen in England

The great white ball bowler has played a total of 15 games so far.

 

[Mamoon]

Miraculous stuff by England again.

I have lost count of the number of times they have won matches from improbable situations over the last few years.

The most clutch team in the world today by a country mile.

 

[Titan24]

Was a pretty careless shot from Starc

 

[Hasan123]

Carey should look to attack. Can't expect Hazelwood and Zampa to last long here. Also Carey looks better when he is attacking. That is how he made impressed last year.

India are a better side

 

[MenInG]

WICKET! Cummins b S Curran 11 – Australia 166-7

Bullseye! The stumps are dismantled yet again as Cummins chops Sam Curran onto his poles on the pull. Australia are throwing this away.

 

[Mamoon]

India are a better side

In Tests, yes India are the best in the world. In Limited Overs cricket, England hold the edge.

 

[MenInG]

WICKET! Starc c Buttler b S Curran 0 – Australia 166-8
Curran is on a hat-trick as Starc slashes his first ball, a wide one, behind and Buttler takes a cracking catch diving to his left. What a meltdown this has been for Australia.

 

[Ab Fan]

Chotu Sam Curran continues to frustrate opposition.

 

[Hasan123]

Carey should be looking to hog the strike. Why run 3 there ? It's only the 1st ball.
