excited for the new stadium. 55,000 people attending.

But the occasion is dull - they probably scheduled it with expectation, but AUS spoiled it; should have won that 3rd ODI, from that start with ball.

 

[Convict]

Great looking stadium but Richardson should have played and bowled the first over.

 

[James]

Wonder what a competitive score will be? 280?

 

[Nikhil_cric]

How is this pitch compared to the WACA? Fast and bouncy or just flat? I hope they continue to play test matches at the WACA when we tour

The claim is that only England/India/South Africa test will be moved but I expect the WACA will host max 1-2 tests ever again.

That's sad. WaCA was part of cricketing history.

 

[AAli98]

The most boring series since bang v zimb in 2004

 

[Robert]

Why didn’t Woakes play? He could have thumped England past 300.

 

[Robert]

AUS 203-8. Can Engand make it 4-1 ?

 

[Madplayer]

What a useless overhyped tour.

One sided tests.

One sided ODIs.

Much ado about a borefest.

 

[James]

Morgs is Mike Brearley in this series. Stone useless with the bat but inspiring captaincy and dynamic field management.

 

[Robert]

This could go to the wire.....

 

[Robert]

5-35 for Curran!

Well done Morgan, fine captaincy. Well done England. Classy in the first three ODIs, smart and scrappy in the fourth.

4-1 TO THE INGERLUND!

 

[James]

What a win! Tom Curran brilliant reverse swing for five wickets.

 

[volcyz]

A joke he wasn’t bought in the IPL while other absolute useless players gets bought.
The managements are fat jokes with 0 idea of whose good

 

[shah_1]

Australia will struggle in the next WC with this batting line up.

 

[introvert]

Amazing spell from tom curran.finally he established himself.
now Looking forward to brother sam curran in t20 series in newzealand

 

[MRSN]

What a spell of bowling from Curran. I've never seen a fast bowler dominate in ODI as well as him in this game. Great spell and won the game for England.

 

[CricketAnalyst]

What a win! Tom Curran brilliant reverse swing for five wickets.

That was world-class reverse swing bowling.

Worthy of veteran Pakistan superstar.

No words for how he rescued a lost game.

 

[PakHammer]

Tom Curran was amazing. One of the best things in cricket, a fast bowler utilising reverse swing well.

Those two will go very far. They are both fighters to the core. Sam rescued a completely and utterly lost T20 in the Super Smash earlier this month.

 

[Bubby]

What speed was he generating

135 to 140

yeah Sam has big batting potential.He will challenge David willey in the current English team.

 

[Robert]

135 to 140

Blee says he can go properly fast if he uses his left arm better.

 

[Madplayer]

Blee says he can go properly fast if he uses his left arm better.

About a year ago this guy was barely clocking 130. If he has reached 135-140 level, he might become a 90mph bowler soon.

Another talent wasted by Zimbabwe thanks to Robert Mugabe who kicked the Curran family off their land.

Great spell from Tom Curran.

Was poignant to see his point to the sky after taking his 5th wicket - his dad Kevin Curran (also was an international cricketer) died suddenly in 2012.
