Convicts win by 19.

 

[Isle of Wight Yellow]

Poor bowling from England after having them on the ropes, and poor batting apart from Billings and Bairstow (especially Billings, great innings)

 

[makv]

Well, a good old Aussie collapse. Not over yet, but we’ve been treated to some great cricket this summer, completely unexpectedly.

 

[nige01ox]

Things you love to see:
- Davey Warner being a rabbit to an English bowler (Archer has him 4 from 4 this summer)
- Aussies totally bottling it and collapsing to hand us a game we had no right to win..again!

 

[Marked Ox]

Crowds should stop booing Warner and instead the England fans, when back, should just chant "Archer's gonna get you" as he walks out. And start calling him "Walking Wicket" as well. Increase the pressure on him.

Watching a total Aussie collapse is one of life’s greatest pleasures.

Looking forward to Wednesday after that.

And then no more international cricket until … when?

I'll second that @makv

 

[Sarge]

3rd ODI V Aussies today , the series decider, play set to start at 1pm today

C'mon England

 

[Sarge]

not the best of starts from England ... Roy & Root both went for 0 each ( Starc)


steadying ( a bit) now with England 54-2 after 8 overs

 

[makv]

Good game so far

 

[Sarge]

Morgan went for 23 ... soft dismissall

Bairstow got his 50 up

c'mon England

 

[Sarge]

Buttler gone for 8

Bairstow then survives a review

England 97-4 after 18 overs

 

[Sarge]

220-6 ... Bairstow gone on 112 ....9 overs left

Curran next man in , England need a similar batting performance from him as he delivered on Sunday to get a decentish over 300 run score

 

[Essexyellows]

Pitch is moving a bit...

 

[Sarge]

Pitch is moving a bit...

when the time comes ( about 7 overs time ) here's hoping England's bowling attack can capitalise on it

 

[Essexyellows]

Might make 300.... although I`m thinking 290 lol

 

[Essexyellows]

302 good end........... 303 for the convicts then

53 off the last 5.

 

[Essexyellows]

Cons 56-4.......

 

[SteMerritt]

Spin wizard ?

 

[Essexyellows]

73-5 what a run out

 

[Sarge]

couple more quick wickets & England should mop up the match and the series

 

[Essexyellows]

139-5.... need to nobble a con

 

[Sarge]

139-5.... need to nobble a con

already would have , but for Archer 'overstepping'

 

[Marked Ox]

already would have , but for Archer 'overstepping'

But if he hadn't overstepped then he might not have been caught....

This partnership is looking rather dangerous.

 

[Sarge]

C'mon England , get one (or both) of Maxwell n Carey out, then rattle through the rest of 'em

 

[Essexyellows]

Need to break these two...

 

[Sarge]

81 needed from 60 balls ... c'mon England wickets needed , soon as you like

 

[unification]

Phew. Getting away from England, this one. Maxwell is having a great time with that short boundary.

Edit. The lightly bowled Curran may just be the man to tighten the Aussies a bit.

 

[unification]

The Aussies are playing this perfectly. Watchful, taking singles and then finding a boundary each over. Classy one day cricket it has to be said.

 

[Essexyellows]

Ton up for Maxwell
