StanSP Posted 9 June 2019 Author Posted 9 June 2019 A lot of credit will go to Kohli and Pandya for steering the back end of the innings towards a high total but it's been anchored by Dhawan's superb ton. Without Dhawan and Sharma settling for the first 20+ overs, there's no way we'd get near 300. They provided the platform for Pandya & Kohli to bat much more freely. My only worry being that Warner and Smith have the ability to bat just as well on a surface like this.

Chiltern Fox Posted 9 June 2019 Posted 9 June 2019 Kumar sangakara has taken to commentary like a duck to water. He talks sense.

So much sense and it helps that he's recently stopped playing, too. As opposed to the elder commentators sometimes. Either way majority, if not all, commentators on Sky Cricket are really good to listen to.

Crazy especially at the speed these balls come at. Then you have Archer's who's clips the bails and goes for 6

Mark 'expert' Lawrenson Posted 9 June 2019 Posted 9 June 2019 Looks like they’ll be a lot of abandoned or reduced overs matches this upcoming week, could make things interesting.

Always gonna happen at some stage in an English summer but it's a shame it does happen. Kind of want it to be fair for everyone to have a chance at winning their individual games yet will only have to settle for a point (if abandoned).
Chiltern Fox Posted 9 June 2019 Posted 9 June 2019 I know aus need 10+ a over, but I reckon they are still in this.

HybridFox Posted 9 June 2019 Posted 9 June 2019 Maxwell is key for them. Take his wicket and it's game over
StanSP Posted 9 June 2019 Author Posted 9 June 2019 I don't think Australia are in it any more... 1 minute ago, TK95 said: Maxwell is key for them. Take his wicket and it's game over Good timing! The Smith wicket, for me, was more important. He was their mainstay and could have attacked once the target was clearer in sight. Maxwell would get you quick runs to help but would usually lose his wicket like he just did.

Well played England btw I was at Trent Bridge on Thursday (the Cotterall catch happened right in front of me and it looked fantastic ) but the one thing which was apparent was that the cricket bat guitarist thing became old and annoying after the first two musical interludes. Get that right in the bin.
Izzy Posted 9 June 2019 Posted 9 June 2019 Well played India. And always nice to see the Aussies lose
EastAnglianFox Posted 9 June 2019 Posted 9 June 2019 India's death bowling is something else. Stating the obvious but it"ll take some performance to beat them once we get to the business end.
StanSP Posted 9 June 2019 Author Posted 9 June 2019 Never in doubt Good to see us pass one of our toughest tests we'll face in the competition - thought for a moment Australia would chase down the target but we got the Smith (and following 2-3 wickets) fairly quickly to kill them off. When Warner/Smith was in I was always a bit cautious. Strong showing and will be a tough game against NZ on Thurs. Lost to them in warm-ups.
