Notice today’s game is also on  Channel 5 presumably taking the Sky coverage ?

I'd like to see Ahmed given a run out today

[FoxesTez]

Beauty of a first ball in the T20. 

[RowlattsFox]

Well that's why Rashid doesn't bowl at the death very often 

[Tommy Fresh]

 

[James and his giant peach]

Can't believe with the series already won they haven't looked at Rehan Ahmed tonight. I guess he plays for the wrong county. 

[Super_horns]

Slow start by England .,

Joke isn’t it, what are they getting out of Rashid playing in this game?

[StanSP]

First ball six for WI - totally opposite to the last T20!

[Super_horns]

Bowlers making a good start too and the batting was exceptionally outstanding 

[Corky]

For a short form of the game, these seem to take an absolute age. 3 and a half hours this has been going.

[Super_horns]

Well done England .

 

Excellent series .

 

Outstanding with the bat and some very good bowling too .

[Tommy Fresh]

Good start by Australia

Their batting lineup doesn't look as strong with Labuschagne opening & Green at 3.

Aussies v Saffers on English soil does look to make a pretty fascinating contest.

[Super_horns]

Aussies all out for 212.

Very good day for South Africa .

[Corky]

Rabada is phenomenal.

 

Such a shame the South African board barely seem interested in Test cricket.

[leicsmac]

Aussies typically don't know when they're beat. 

[Super_horns]

Good start for Northamptonshire in the T20.

6 wins from 6.

[AKCJ]

Can't help but feel that a "Bazball" approach would have served both sides in the WTC final better than the cautious approach.

 

Neither team are particularly great with the bat and with both bowling attacks being full of quality, I can't see much merit in just waiting for good balls to get you out.

[Corky]

A shame it is raining because the Bready cricket ground, due to host Ireland v West Indies in a T20, looks very picturesque.

[RowlattsFox]

Is it a really bowler friendly pitch? A shame for the contest that the batting as been unable to cope and probably be over in 3 days. 

 

Another example of batsmen being under-prepared for red ball cricket?  

[Craig]

 Some collapse this

Exceptional bowling more than anything. Especially the spell from 44-2 to 66-6.

This, not being used to the Dukes ball, it swinging more in England and it could also be the added pressure of a one -off, winner takes everything, test.

 

Looking back at the previous finals, only once has ever a team scored more than 300 in an innings, and that was Aus’s 469 at The, usually a road, Oval

World-class bowlers on show who know how to move the ball - Starc, Hazelwood, Rabada, Ngidi.

 

That's pure pace and power in those attacks.
