England v Australia | ICC Champions Trophy | 08/06/13 | England Innings

[Mamoon]

Another slow innings by Trott

despite his average hes a poor ODI player I'd say

He has a better strike rate than and with a far better average and I don't see many people calling them poor ODI players.

different era.

SR of 85 is must today

also they could accelerate if needed.Trott doesnt seem able too as shown by his innings the other day chasing 360

 

[Robert]

England are going to lose this match if they don't get a move-on.

Cook is a good ODI opener but I don't like to see Bell and Trott bat together. They can't leave it all to Morgs and Buttler.

Trott averages 50 in this format so I'd drop Bell and put Hales in at #2.

 

[HamzaSaeen]

England should declare now... after all they have scored more runs than 65

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Pitch is flat and I am sleepy

 

[WebGuru]

Eng got a solid start and can end up having 270-80 on the board but i still feel Aussies can win it England really gonna miss Finn & Swann today...Bopara will be smashed today by Aussies

 

[WebGuru]

Nice slice shot by Bell for a 4!

 

[WebGuru]

Partnership 65 in 94 balls

are you Michael Vaughan

 

[Mamoon]

I like England's approach. Not pretty but effective.

Having Cook, Bell and Trott as your top 3 pretty ensures there wouldn't be a collapse.

We can do the same with Azhar opening and Misbah at 3. It will prevent the collapses but the problem is we don't have a Morgan or a Buttler who can accelerate without throwing his wicket away.

Umar can score quickly but he is also unable to stay at the wicket. I've lost count the number of times he has thrown his wicket away in the batting PP.

A number 3 with an average of 50 and a very respectable SR is what many teams dream of

Australia?

[Aman]

England - Possibly the most boring international team?

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

I agree with Tom Moody, wickets in hand, Bell well set but playing along the ground, go over the top, take a few risks.

 

[Saurav]

A number 3 with an average of 50 and a very respectable SR is what many teams dream of

yes but you should have ability to change gears n accelerate if needed.one dimensional blockers aee no-no

 

[Saurav]

did he say that?

yeah on twitter and got some colourful replies

 

[HamzaSaeen]

yeah on twitter and got some colourful replies

those must have been really colourful

 

[Kianig89]

Atleast Trott is miles ahead than our no 3 who has perfect technique yet he is castled

[WebGuru]

lol another drama!

 

[Saurav]

what happened there

 

[imranq]

England's batting is truly boring to watch. Especially trott.

 

[WebGuru]

Whenever i see England batting i miss that Trescothick guy my fav bat from England. Who else miss Marcus Trescothick here?

 

[WebGuru]

Khan: "If you drop a catch on purpose because you know next batsmen coming in is more dangerous than the both batsmen at the crease. Is that against the spirit of cricket?"

Tom: "@Khan Our team did that during a club final. They send in a 13year old kid to give him a chance. We made sure he stayed in till the end. So we dropped him 6 times and never bowled straight to him. He only scored 3 runs off 40 balls. We managed to win as well."

The kid should have hit the stumps

 

[Kianig89]

Trott and bell are really hurting my fantasy team give other batters a chance #EoinJOs

 

[Saurav]

The kid should have hit the stumps

Trott should do that here

 

[Aman]

Trott should do that here

Have to play for that average

 

[WebGuru]

Predict the final score i will got with about 280

 

[WebGuru]

You were at 3? but dropped so much after yesterday game i guess?

 

[Aman]

275

 

[Mamoon]

Have to play for that average

Tell that to LOLchi. Maybe he should take some lessons.

 

[Aman]

Tell that LOLchi. Maybe he should take some lessons.

Our other batsmen are still better than yours with Misbah being the only batsmen making it into our team.

 

[Mamoon]

I don't know what people are on about. These two have laid a terrific platform.

They did their job and now it's time for the likes of Morgan and Buttler to do their job.

If they fail to do so, blame them not these two.

 

[Robert]

Whenever i see England batting i miss that Trescothick guy my fav bat from England. Who else miss Marcus Trescothick here?

Aye, though Cook scores as fast as Tres did.

 

[Mamoon]

I would take only Taylor.

 

[Mamoon]

Lol the poor man's Junaid mouthing off Trott aggression doesn't work when you pick up a random wicket after getting carted around.

 

[Aman]

I would take only Taylor.

Are you a Pakistan selector?

 

[Aman]

Root in before Morgan? WT..

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

I would take only Taylor.

I would take Guptill, Williamson, Taylor, Ryder and all of the three kiwi bowlers McClenaghan, Mills, Boult hahahahaha

 

[Mamoon]

Are you a Pakistan selector?

Na, a NZ one. Only that can explain why I picked LOLchi to open the innings

 

[Mamoon]

Don't be insecure

 

[Aman]

You can't say jack, I mean ....

 

[leatherface58]

Na, a NZ one. Only that can explain why I picked LOLchi to open the innings

Who knows he might smash a 100 against you guys considering your tradition of making superstars out of nobodies

 

[Aman]

Bowled in the 90s.. ouch!

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Don't be insecure

Needs pacers bro

and a few quality batsmen

Thanks for the tip

 

[WebGuru]

Poor bell can't get his 100

 

[Aman]

Who knows he might smash a 100 against you guys considering your tradition of making superstars out of nobodies

I think he suffers from the same condition has lol most of the Pakistani fans on here would take most of our batsmen in a heart beat lol

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

:AAG Faulkner

 

[WebGuru]

Bell failed to get a 100 against NZ after scoring 82 and now failed at 91 against Aussies.

 

[Mamoon]

Who knows he might smash a 100 against you guys considering your tradition of making superstars out of nobodies

Problem is he's worse than a nobody

It would be a miracle if he survives Junaid and Irfan early on, let alone hanging around long enough to face Ajmal.

 

[Mamoon]

Mills is a trundler.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

come on England it's clobbering time

 

[Aman]

Collapse is on

 

[leatherface58]

It would be a miracle if he survives Junaid and Irfan early on, let alone hanging around long enough to face Ajmal.

The classic tradition of underestimating the opposition. I guess that worked out well against the Windies didn't it?

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

again

poor shot

 

[Mamoon]

And by the way making a superstar out of nobody isn't worse than getting whitewashed by Bangladesh

 

[WebGuru]

The Kid Root gone now a collapse on cards...

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

unnecessary pressure created by Trott and Bell and now wickets trembling

 

[Mamoon]

Windows hahahahahaha.

 

[WebGuru]

so anybody up for some hits by Buttler again?

 

[Aman]

And by the way making a superstar out of nobody isn't worse than getting whitewashed by Bangladesh

Hmm... recently we beat England in England and SA in SA... When was the last time you won a series away from home?..

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Bopara before Butler, no come on

 

[leatherface58]

Windows hahahahahaha.

Whatcha talking about?

 

[WebGuru]

They should have sent Buttler to settle thn sending Bopara his form with bat is awful these days...

 

[Saurav]

I don't know what people are on about. These two have laid a terrific platform.

They did their job and now it's time for the likes of Morgan and Buttler to do their job.

If they fail to do so, blame them not these two.

no cant expect new batsmen to force the pace straightaway.it should be done by well set batsmen like Bell n Trott were

 

[Mamoon]

Hmm... recently we beat England in England and SA in SA... When was the last time you won a series away from home?..

Thumping you guys in your backyard

A couple of months ago against First Ranked Indians in their own backyard you forgot?

 

[WebGuru]

Excellent running...

 

[mithun_minhas]

Starc/Pattinson/Cummins/Siddle/McKay/Faulkner

Aus can afford to donate a couple to India. Most of these bowlers will have to sit out just because there is too much talent there.

 

[WebGuru]

Fact: In the 12 ODI's Root have played this was the first time he got out for a under 25 score.

 

[Aman]

A couple of months ago against First Ranked Indians in their own backyard you forgot?

No offense but beating England in England and SA in SA is more difficult. Ask India.

 

[Aman]

Thumping you guys in your backyard

In 2010 lol?

 

[WebGuru]

Another drama
