150 tops.

Aussies are bowling well; it looks difficult to score.

Its so damn annoying

 

Every damn time year after year, it looks like whoever in bat hits a good shot around the ground they still manage to have a fielder in the exact position it’s been whacked to.

 

Such an underrated part of their game

Totally agree. Fielding is so important, having a good captain, who is switched on & is quick thinking is a huge part too. 

Hopefully, scoreboard pressure helps us out here ! 

[Corky]

Bowling and fielding all over the place.

[purpleronnie]

Already throwing the final away

[Rubbersoul]

I swear Lauren Bell used to be a better bowler 

[RowlattsFox]

Australia are a better side. 

Might be a tough pitch but it's never a good look when you have 6 wickets left when batting first. 

[Corky]

Meant nothing in the end but the decision to not allow the perfectly clean catch by Ecclestone was a disgrace

Yes they were always strong favourites.

[Lcfc-1992]

We should play Ireland for a proper game

[Bert]

Brilliant atmosphere to be fair. 
 

India’s biggest ever t20 defeat? Gutted the kid didn’t get more of a score but it was nice to see him hit a couple of sixes. 

[RowlattsFox]

Lots of talk about India being unbeatable in T20 but take them out of India and its a different challenge. Disastrous tour so far. 

 

They have so many choices they could make, almost too many. 

[Super_horns]

Another strong England performance.

India been poor so far on this tour .

[StanSP]

The ODIs need to be better. Especially on Tuesday at Edgbaston... 

[Corky]

Good to see Surrey having a rare TV appearance.

On a side note. I definitely think Alec Stewart should replace Rob Key. He talks so much sense, is very passionate about the game, knows the county set up well & just seems like a lovely fella.

I think they've been a bit arrogant. They think they can hit every ball for 6 and score the 230s or 240s you see in the IPL but it's totally different in England. Different weather, pitches and stadia, and a bit of nous is needed. They've lost early wickets in the games and carried on trying to smack it. They've clearly got talent, but need to adapt more to touring.

We see him hit enough in the IPL. When he plays England I want him to fail every time.

I'm nit saying that but it would only add to the Surrey and home counties bias.

If is a fair point tbh that the ECB, like most other London based organisations, don't think there's anything worth considering north of the Watford Gap (apart from a small nod to Lancs and Yorks occasionally).
