England vs Australia | 4th Match | 23rd January, 2015 | Hobart

[Mamoon]

Bopara has had some decent games, but I think Stokes deserves a proper run.

 

[Aman]

Synchronized fielding is back

 

[vandokkum]

Moeen Ali has a very impressive strike rate so far in odis and his list a career... but not many runs to go along with it.

I read that as Moeen Bhai

 

[Justcrazy]

65 / 0

9 overs

 

[Mamoon]

300 seems to be the par total, there is no chance of Pakistan of matching that at the World Cup.

Surely they can against the Indian bowling "attack" ?

 

[Mamoon]

Surely they can against the Indian bowling "attack" ?

I actually think we will end the streak this time.

 

[Justcrazy]

The pitch is flat , Nothing happening for the england bowlers.

 

[vandokkum]

Broad appealing for batsman in front of wicket.

 

[Abhilash93]

Why isnt Finn bowling?

 

[vandokkum]

Finch with a pathetic slog, Moeen bhai gets a wicket. Mamoon won't be happy

 

[Justcrazy]

Ali gets breakthrough

 

[Justcrazy]

Required rate is just six an over , not a big deal.

 

[f.b.m]

Broad appealing for batsman in front of wicket.

That's his most common mode of dismissal.

 

[Robert]

Poms should have got 330 here , this will be chased down.

Poms lost momentum in the middle, then RavBops bottled it again.

 

[Justcrazy]

85.1

14 overs

 

[Justcrazy]

Critical spell by Finn here , he needs to go all out and get wickets here.

 

[Random Aussie]

Bopara has had some decent games, but I think Stokes deserves a proper run.

Having watched him get slaughtered in the BBL, don't think that's a good idea. The other teams target his bowling on purpose.

 

[Random Aussie]

Finch with a pathetic slog, Moeen bhai gets a wicket. Mamoon won't be happy

Finch bhai sucks

 

[Justcrazy]

two down , Finn strikes

 

[Justcrazy]

Finn is a beast

 

[Justcrazy]

95 / 3

17 overs

 

[Abhilash93]

Finn
Almost 3 wickets in that over!

 

[Justcrazy]

111 / 3

19 overs.

 

[Justcrazy]

Ali needs a break now.

 

[Justcrazy]

Required rate still under control. Aussies should look to keep wickets in hand

 

[James]

Finn is bowling beast at the moment. Not sure it will be enough though.

Broad seems way out of sorts.

 

[Justcrazy]

128 / 3

21 overs

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

England's big show Bopara into the attack

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Finch is terrible against Spin, any spinner can choke him

 

[Saurav]

Marsh should replace Finch in WC,Much better opener

 

[adnan yasin]

Aussies are chasing it sensibly ... rotation of strike at its very best

 

[adnan yasin]

by maxwell

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

The Big Show playing a very sensible knock, though he played a horrible shot against Finn and would have been out. Maybe Smith giving him tips on pacing his innings, not a big show like innings.

 

[adnan yasin]

Maxwell gone

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

bhai strikes

 

[adnan yasin]

142 needed from 22.4 overs with 6 wickets in hand

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Why is Bopara in the team? I think he is the Ashraful of England

 

[adnan yasin]

aussies looking really comfortable in chasing this score

england definitely missed the opportunity of scoring big here though still 300 is a good score but 59 runs in 10 overs with 8 wickets in hand ... is pretty mediocre

 

[adnan yasin]

124 needed of 111 balls with 6 wickets in hand

 

[JaDed]

England Peaking too early imo.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Game well balanced england need to get smith out here

220/5 after 38 overs

 

[adnan yasin]

77 from 11 overs with 5 wickets in hand

did i see some reverse by anderson

 

[adnan yasin]

74 runs of 60 balls

Smith playing another great knock

 

[Robert]

Oooh, this is exciting.

Smith is key.

 

[Robert]

did i see some reverse by anderson

I wouldn't be surprised, as he has been reversing it consistently since 2011.

 

[London_Lahori]

Broad is such a failure. He even looks like a failure now.

 

[Dragon]

anyone got the video of the fat guy falling?

 

[London_Lahori]

anyone got the video of the fat guy falling?

I've told [MENTION=132270]SL_Fan[/MENTION] not to embarrass himself like this repeatedly.

 

[hamzie]

its ridic how far smith has come

 

[Ottoman]

anyone got the video of the fat guy falling?

It was funny and he was very fast for being a fat guy.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Haddin :kami should stop playing selfishly and give Smith a chance to score his ton

 

[Convict]

Leave ten for Smith

It was funny and he was very fast for being a fat guy.

Tsunami warning in Melbourne

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Smith my boy

 

[Robert]

Broad is such a failure. He even looks like a failure now.

At what, specifically?

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Is Steven Smith the new ?

 

[Robert]

Hmm, England paying the price for taking their feet off the gas after 40 overs.

Still, it's good experience in these conditions.

 

[Convict]

Well done Skip

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Broad is such a failure. He even looks like a failure now.

Coming back from an injury, he will bounce back. I don't think I have seen anyone recover like Broad, after being hit for six sixes he came a long way.

 

[razabbas]

Smith have improved alot in last few years - **** batsman espcly umar akmal should learn something from him

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Should Smith bat at 1 down from now on

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Henriques Igleseis at the crease

 

[Mamoon]

:14

One of the best batsman in the world.

 

[Ozymandiasza]

Well done to Smith, seems to thrive when the pressure is on.

 

[Mamoon]

[Mamoon]

A far better player than de Villiers and Amla bhai.

 

[Mamoon]

Edit:

A far better pressure player *

 

[London_Lahori]

At what, specifically?

Bowling, attitude, new hair style, his dad... yeah pretty much everything.

 

[Robert]

Coming back from an injury, he will bounce back. I don't think I have seen anyone recover like Broad, after being hit for six sixes he came a long way.

I have never understood why some people think that was significant. He bowled a bad over, that's all.

No editing is a bit tough ay

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

A far better player than de Villiers and Amla bhai.

Haha brother why are you constantly picking on brother and brother Devilliers?

 

[Robert]

Bowling, attitude, new hair style, his dad... yeah pretty much everything.

Hmm, he'e been England's best bowler these last three years, successful everywhere. He was the only one to come out of the last Ashes mauling with his reputation improved.

 

[Mamoon]

No editing is a bit tough ay

Very. :faceplam:

 

[Ozymandiasza]

Edit:

A far better pressure player *

Nice save there

 

[Mamoon]

Haha brother why are you constantly picking on brother and brother Devilliers?

de Villiers isn't our brother.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

I have never understood why some people think that was significant. He bowled a bad over, that's all.

That was Six Sixes man and the whole world was watching. The first boom boom world cup, so the player he has become now after the trauma, I have immense respect for him now.

 

[Mamoon]

Nice save there

Missed the word pressure in the first place, now the statement cannot be challenged because there is no doubt who absorbs pressure the best.

 

[adnan yasin]

Whats going on there

Henriques messed it up

 

[Robert]

Run out!

Two from three.....
