Mathews just got away with one against Australia, rolled back on to the stumps but didn't dislodge the bails

Look like they don't know what approach to take, Mendis seemed a bit more positive and think they'll do better playing that way

Sounds like The Hundred won't be going anywhere soon. Ambani Group and Tom Brady's company have bought stakes in Oval Invincibles and Birmingham Phoenix respectively.

What an over for Mahmood

[Bert]

I’ve never seen a triple wicket maiden in t20. Fair play. 

[Super_horns]

Well played Mahmood!

 

Can hopefully set us up nicely to chase a decent total.

Was the first time it’s ever happened. 

 

Looks like they’ve recovered well to post a 180+ total. 

[StanSP]

Pandya and Dube led the recovery. Competitive total now. 

[Super_horns]

All the bowlers taken some battering. 

[Sir Steve Howard]

Could see this collapse coming a mile off, will lose by 40 runs here

[trabuch]

Overton not taking singles has worked well then..

That sub sounds a bit dodgy right? Not seen it but surely it’s bad that you don’t have to introduce a like for like

You’re meant to.

I've not seen the official phrase or ruling and missed just over half of England's chase, but I thought umpires take into account the role the player would have played at the time in the match. E.g. Dube was a bowler and fielder when Rana was on, and Rana would have played the same role...?

Technically England could say that Ben Duckett was going to bowl and then sub him with a fast bowler?

Has Duckett bowled before? 

 

Dube has bowled in his career before so could have been used as a bowler.

Buttler said “either Dube’s put on 25mph with the ball or Harshit has really improved his batting” which states he’s clearly not happy as it is supposed to be like for like not just “someone who’s bowled before”. But the BCCI Umpires approved it so what can you do.

Fair enough. I don't agree with it by the way!

The England Women’s Ashes tour has got to be the worst performance by any England side against Australia - and that is an incredibly low bar.

Absolutely embarrassing to lose 16-0 not even a contest

The 2012/13 winter will take some beating on that score, but yes, this has been pretty appalling.
