The only consolation is one of them has to lose. Hopefully they will both have their match fees deducted for some spurious reasonI hope its rained off. Indian fans are the cricketing version of Man United fans, most annoying fans in cricket. And Australia are Australia. Shame they can't both lose.
given both sets of supporters are supposed to 'travel in numbers' , surprising the amount of empty seats at the Oval
maybe those empty seats have been reserved by London based Aussie bartenders, who were working the late shift till the small hours?
IMO both the cheats shouldve had a ten year ban apieceIt didn't take long for Warner and Smith to lead the Aussie media's, well Fox anyway, advertising for this match based on what I saw the other day. The Aussies really took that cheating seriously.
apparently soDidn't it sell out quite quickly?
The trouble is the Aussies will end up using Lyon v England instead of Zampa. Lyon is rarely useless v England!Aussie’s main weakness exposed here - outside of Starc and Cummins, their bowling is looking limited. India are far better than both the Windies and Afghanistan but you’d expect better from them.
Something for England to look at. Play cautious against their pace men and then accelerate against Coulter-Nile, Maxwell and the terminally-useless-in-England Zampa.
1 lyon against the 3 lions ? ...should be no contestThe trouble is the Aussies will end up using Lyon v England instead of Zampa. Lyon is rarely useless v England!
