    How can sky miss the final catch?

    The channel 5 highlights programme is already halfway through and the game only just finished. That’s some quick editing someone is doing now!!

    Triple defeat for Australia today.

    A nightmare scenario for the editors, trying to decide highlights before the game has ended!

    Great knock from Roy.
    I know he has his critics on here but when he gets it right he is a matchwinner.

    Where are all the Roy bashers now bitches??!!!

    P.s. I had my first litre of sangria at 10:30 this morning. Sorry.
    Thought Jason played sublimely today - seems to be playing a touch straighter and not letting his strong bottom hand pull him around to leg so much - beautiful innings with many great 'cricket' shots.

    Of the last 8 ODI's between England and OZ, the score is 7-1.

    This is totally unacceptable.
    We should be 8-0 up .
    Sack the management. Sack the selectors. Sack the board.
    In actual fact, while you are at it, sack the players too.

    I’d rather we lost the last eight 8-0 and held The Ashes !

    That was our highest ever ODI score against the Aussies. Thought we were going to blow it yesterday the way Marsh and Agar were playing. I’ll sack myself for the lack of faith in our bowlers.....

    185-1off 22 overs. Australia being put to the sword.

    Reckon we should slow down and make sure we get to 250...

    Passed 200 still only 1 down. Bairstow approaching a hundred.

    26 overs remaining, 400 should be on the cards here.

    TMS - record for most bowlers used in an ODI innings is 9.

    Only Australian players yet to bowl: Travis Head, Shaun Marsh, Tim Paine.

    I honestly find this rather tedious, cricket is about a battle between bowler and batsman not batsman simply smashing the ball wherever they want. The pitch is too good, short boundary and piss poor attack.

    Or our batsmen are too good.
    I reckon Roy Bairstow and Hales are the best top three in international 50 over cricket in the world.

    A general rule of thumb is double the score after 30 overs, if wickets are in hand. We were 251/1 then got 26 off the next 2 overs!

    at half way stage we were on for 500 but with 8 overs to go & at 380 I reckon 460-480 is more likely.

    I totally agree, but I'd still like us to get 500

    50 in 21 balls for Morgan... stunning stuff
  • 50 in 21 balls for Morgan... stunning stuff

    Fastest ever in ODI's for England. He's also just become our leading run scorer in ODI's.

    80 in 36 balls required for 500. Doable ? I think its gonna be bloody close with these two in
  • 18 balls for the last 50 runs.

    maybe I was wrong......but 500 still looks just a tad too far.
