    Apart from Roy for Vince, the team is strong. Don’t need to make massive changes but I would play Curran over Ali. 

    We let them start to well although sounds like we were a bit unlucky. Like many times before our issue is buckling under the pressure of a chase.

    We need these two to stay together and both get big scores

    When can we start talking about being cornered tigers?

    I'm so grateful that my Great great great great grand father was deported to Australia for stealing bread to feed his family.

    about 5 % chance we win here, or is it closer to 0 :(

    not the easiest last 2 games but I think we will sneak into the semis, although the last couple of games (Sri Lanka/ Aus) do fill me with too much hope or expectancy.

    Jason Roy missing the last three games has really hurt us.
    Hopefully back for the next game

    The frustration of being here and seeing the game is that the Aussie set the trap and Morgan, Bairstow and Buttler took the bait.
    Stokes for the 2nd game running has been let down.

    Currently 11/4 to win this game, so definitely more than 5%

    Superb effort by Stokes, beaten by the class of Starc.

    Starc will be a massive threat in the Ashes with our feeble top order

    I was making up numbers, not going by actual betting. We looked to be having a good go but key wicket there back to 5% :)

    8% based on the predictor thing on Skysports, I always find it quite interesting how it varies and when they put the predicted target. Sometimes its quite accurate but obviously there are a number of factors to it

    so in betting terms they should be around 1/12 on if was a fact, we are 10/1 to win, Australia 1/25 so effectively there is no value in the bet. I have never bet on cricket in my life surprisingly

    Our batting, as I feared, is made up of flat track bullies. In the main, the inclement weather has meant that we've ended up producing tracks where the ball stops and sticks in the wicket - and that calls for more skill than simply "see ball hit six".
