England v Australia | 3rd ODI | England won by 93 runs

[#GreenRoars]

England 52/0 (9.2 ov)
England won the toss and elected to bat

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

Hales was awful, he spent 5 overs and scored 9, you could tell he would be out.

He should have gone for singles, i dont knw why people are recommending him for test. Not good enough

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

Roys a better player in my view.

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

spoke too soon, another eng collapse?

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

one more wicket eng will be reeling.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Looks like Jason Roy is probably pushing more for a place in the test side at moment then Hales if this series is any sort of audition for a test call up.

 

[Amjid Javed]

England should be aiming for 300 here at least with platform they have got.

 

[Markhor]

Starc has been awful, yet another wide.

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

and the callapse begins.....

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

baffled why stokes still ahead of moeen

 

[Justcrazy]

Must win game for Poms

 

[Justcrazy]

209 / 3

34 overs

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

Must win game for Poms

thats the difference between the top sides, from this position they would score 320-330. eng will struggle to score 300.

its the mental barrier

 

[Justcrazy]

Poms looking good , need 320 here .

They have the batting , need to make sure they attack the bowling and not be happy with 300

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

They have the batting , need to make sure they attack the bowling and not be happy with 300

morgon out, they struggling to score, wicket round the corner...

 

[Haz95]

LOOOL James Taylor, 65 of 78 with just two boundaries. If thats not an exhibition of how to build an inning, I seriously dunno what is.

 

[Justcrazy]

taylor looking good , needs to finish big here

 

[volcyz]

Watching Taylor bat is freaking painful. the guy should be in the test team and not anywhere near the short form of the game no matter how many centuries he hits off trundlers from domestic cricket.

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

last 5 overs 16/1, not good enough. Stokes shouldnt come this early..

 

[Justcrazy]

229 / 3

66 balls left

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

what did i say..

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

typical pom's.

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

is bairstow better than moeen?

 

[Justcrazy]

Poms need at least 80 off last 10 overs

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

last 8 overs have been diabolical for eng..

aus will contain them under 300

 

[Justcrazy]

245 / 4

7 overs left

 

[Justcrazy]

Taylor 87 from 100 balsl so far

 

[Justcrazy]

265.4

45 overs

 

[Justcrazy]

Shotttttt

 

[Justcrazy]

Taylor moves in the 90s

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

poms choking as usual near the end. how they failed to make 320 from the position they were..

 

[Justcrazy]

five down

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

moeens not a slogger, totally useless in this position.

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

another bites the dust.. series all but gone...

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

another bites the dust.. this is poor.

 

[Sam1]

Good to see Taylor get his 100. Hopefully he'll get a longer run in the side now.

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

what a come back from australia..

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

last 18 overs gone for 100 runs, eng poor or aussie very good.

 

[Firebreaker]

England are 20 runs short

 

[James]

In the end a decent score. Not a winning one though.

50-50 game now.

 

[Firebreaker]

Aussies are playing their worst team in last 2 years

 

[shaz619]

In the end a decent score. Not a winning one though.

50-50 game now.

Another collapse considering they were 205-2 at one point. So in terms of what position they were in 300 is awful. Also, drop Moeen Ali if they're not going to use him in the top order. They are better of bringing in a proper batsman

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

poor finish to the innings, 20-30 runs short. Maxwell scored a few runs on this ground with his county team.

smith, bailey, maxwell and marsh are key.

like the first odi eng have thrown it away.

They arguably should have scored 25 runs more.

However 300 would be the biggest ODI chase ever on this ground.

In the age of ridiculous run-scoring, people forget that ODIs in England are still rarely 300 plays 300.

 

[Sam1]

Hes scored 1 run on this ground this season...

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

Hes scored 1 run on this ground this season...

i read somewhere he got around 150 at old trafford.

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

if aus need 150 in last 18 overs, they will show eng how to finish innings.

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

surprised fans not booing smithers

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

australia cruising..

 

[Sam1]

Screamer of a catch from Finn to get rid of Smith, everyone looked pretty shocked!

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

aussies counter attacking.. 50/50 at moment..

 

[Sam1]

Ali and Rashid looking extremely tough to play at the moment.

 

[Lurker_Ind]

Aussies playing spinners badly. No plan as to how to score against Adil and Ali.

Bangladesh should load their team with spinners.

 

[Abdullah719]

21.4
Rashid to Finch, OUT, Finch tries to tee off... and hits it straight up and down into the safe hands of Woakes running in from long-on! Rashid has a second, he's been a struggle to score off and Finch was trying to break the shackles, a moment of Hulk-like violence but he is soon slinking off looking more like Bruce Banner

AJ Finch c Woakes b Rashid 53 (60b 8x4 0x6) SR: 88.33



Looking tough for Australia now.

bhai and Rashid bhai to take England to victory, insha'Allah.

 

[Sam1]

if aus need 150 in last 18 overs, they will show eng how to finish innings.

Off we go then .

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

Off we go then .

well they need 151 so comment is not valid

 

[aslaisnomasla]

England completely changed their style in ODI's , they're playing how subcontinent teams play, use part timers .

 

[James]

Great bowling from England.

Lots of unfair criticism today aimed towards James Taylor's hundred/the batting in general, but looks like 300 was a good score.

 

[Sam1]

well they need 151 so comment is not valid

Haha, Aus showing how to finish in style here.

 

[James]

No wonder England hardly ever plays at Old Trafford anymore lol -

It's like a subcontinental spinning demon!

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

Haha, Aus showing how to finish in style here.

good toss to win, had the game started earliar things may have been different. Tis wicket favoured the team batting first significantly.

series still alive!

 

[ChachaCricket]

[MENTION=135134]CricketAnalyst[/MENTION] Wasn't 300 supposed to be an easy chase in this day and age? lolololol

 

[ChachaCricket]

And for the idiots who thought changing back to 5 fielders wouldn't change a thing, just the last 10 overs have brought down the overall scores. Another 30 overs would make the par score 270-300 depending on the conditions.

Alhamdulillah, congratulations to all English and Pakistani fans.

Chorna nahi koi mauka

Wait for England's tour of UAE.

 

[WC-Passion]

Wait for England's tour of UAE.

Get your popcorn ready.

 

[Mamoon]

Get your popcorn ready.

Me vs. Bilal7, the saga continues.

 

[Bilal7]

Good stuff by Ali and Rashid today, showing that they are good spinners when given conditions that suit spin bowling. I really hope the Pakistani players are watching this and don't take these two lightly.

 

[Firebreaker]

Wait for England's tour of UAE.

Off topic but are you in UK nowadays?

 

[Mamoon]

Off topic but are you in UK nowadays?

I came back in August. Was there for internship at a hospital.

 

[Robert]

Batted Taylor, bowled Beard, bowled Adil

 

[Bilal7]

Very unpatriotic of you to go overseas for your internship, after those long essays about how Pakistanis need to stop the brain drain, contribute to their own society and whatnot.

Good against Aussies who cannot play the turning or moving ball.

Cannon fodder against Pakistan.

 

[ChachaCricket]

What a start from Roy though. Taylor anchored well and Morgan provided the spark they needed in the middle.

Dibs to Moody on calling a 300 chase very difficult because of the spin on offer.

 

[ChachaCricket]

I hope ICC replace these crappy kookaburras soon. They said they're looking for a ball that can last 50 overs, the dukes is right in front of you.

 

[Bilal7]

Hope you're right.
