whitewash on the cards 😉
boom
18 off 1 ball 😀
Excellent! Barmy Army singing "we're going to win 5-4" 😀
we're gonna win 5-4, we're gonna win 5-4!
Barmy army giving it back to their tormentors.
Good game, who is available to replace Plunkett?
Willey would be worth a run out given his current BBL firm. Handy with the bat too, I think.
This is going to be another tight one, isn't it?
No. It's not.
Need another couple of wickets quicksmart.
If you class wizards sleeves as tight, then yes.
But we’ll done finding the original thread, I gave up the search and started a new one
I took 8/5 at school once . I really enjoyed it so I can only imagine how the Aussies felt
ha!
now they're on the run
Well, our Willey went in and out rather quickly
Bottom! Feels 30 too low.
Having just caught up with the scorecard, we do seem to be better at chasing, rather than making.
Hows the new stadium? Are you there zokes?
Sadly not slackalice. Stadium looks amazing from the outside but haven’t been in. It should be, it’s certainly cost them enough to build! Seems to be rated highly by those who have: not miles away from the pitch like at the G
Well this game needs 10 wickets for England to win, run rate is easy especially for these 2
And Smith for 12 was a good start
Where did Ali find some form with the ball from then!!
Well, it’s taken two series, but finally 87 has struck for oz
Maybe.....just maybe....
Maxwell back in the hutch
Wow game really on now
and again!! We really do have the hang of this version of the game
Yeah. Look what happened when you said Ali was going well 😂
Oh, hello...
Can we get Morgan to captain the test side too?
How many more catches are they going to drop?
Great match for a dead rubber
Dead rubbers dont exist against Australia
Well this is squeaky bum stuff.
Great match for a dead rubber
5-3 at the moment with the T20s to come...
edit: 5-4, successful jinx 😉
Hell yeah, 5 for Curran, hugely deserved there, wickets were going to win this one, they are showing that they can win these from all positions (except giving away a 5 wicket head start)
Go on
Curran!!!
Good stuff 🙂
Never in doubt 😂😂😂
Now for Fed if the 5th set...
Result! 🙂
For those who say that cricket isn't exciting, that was edge of the seat stuff 😀
Its good to christen the new western Aus stadium too! 😀
Its good to christen the new western Aus stadium too
The stadium England have a 100% record at, and Australia have lost every game they've played.
259 was quite a formidable target too
Woo Hoo found the TMS thread again!!
If anyone is after some quick fire action this morning the BBL Semi is on this morning Hobart are batting really well to start, should be a good game.
Also had a nice little chat with a bloke in an England tracksuit on the way from Heathrow to Newcastle tuesday morning, was pleased with the ODI performance but admitted the tests were hard to watch, probably more so from the coaching side
England Seconds knock of the 139 in 12.4 overs!
As as an aside, why have an international limited overs tournament on at the same time as the BBL? Missing out on all the best Aus players.
Missing out on all the best Aus players.
Quite the opposite: the BBL teams have to surrender them to the whims of the National squad
@mikewsmith: you ready for the final? Us vs your mob 😁
Given the lingering jet lag I could be awake for that one!! they made hard work of it
Zokes - sorry I was unclear - I meant the BBL teams miss out on the best players. It seems bonkers scheduling.
Only way they can do it, some of the Aus players were released for the games. Should be a good game, Hobart have a good bowling attack and generally can make runs, is it in Adelaide? Think it's going to be too early for me but should catch the end
Yup, in Adelaide as we were ranked higher in the league. Should be good but annoying timing - why is it not on later like all the others?
In internationals news, Aussies scheduled to be spanked by NZ today I think.
Have been enjoying the BBL, esp. at work, but the timing of the final makes it unlikely for me - gone are the days that I’d still be conscious at 2:30 a.m. on a Sunday.
Currently watching the snoozefest of SRL v BAN whilst awaiting the NZ v. AUS that [b]zokes[/b] mentions.
I’m currently supping a cooling Aperol Spritz awaiting said same game 🍹
Off to make a cup of tea and live with the text commentary
Billy whizz!
and from yesterday, Willey punishing Gary:
Well that was a bit quick for 2!!
No.4 goes down. Kiwis in trouble.
Going to take some good Kiwi bowling to get back in this one, Warner and Short could make this very quick
Yup, have to say I wasn’t expecting this from the 7th ranked team 😂😂
Good fight back from NZ though, if they get back into this it will do something to the Oz mindset before Hobart
To be honest, the highlights of that old match they were showing was far superior viewing
Thats OK then 25 from 36 isn't going to be a challenge.
Expect a lot more boundaries down in Hobart
Plenty of boundaries in Adelaide. Go ‘canes!
Big chase here but it's in range for hobart
Could be tight. Where’s Wade?
Going to be a good dozen short.
Bugger the ‘canes 😂😂😂😂
Oh dear wade run out.
6 6es and a nb?
*insert dancing gif here*
Well done Strikers! Fantastic century from Weatherald.
<flicks over to SA v. iND>
Hard luck Hobart. I’ll take that with our two best bowlers out of the picture.
Dizzy Gilliespie's such a great coach, but above all seems like just a really nice person too. If you haven't seen it, the Sky documentary on a season inside Yorkshire CCC is a great watch.
Urgh.
4 wickets down? Looks light on runs now.
Collapse!
I think we tried to get 200, rather than guaranteeing 180
Warner and Lynn done by Willey 🙂
That's just wiped the smile off their faces...
Well, that's just bollocks, and even the usually moronic Channel 9 commentators agree!
Glenn Maxwell.
Lucky slogger gets lucky.
Meh.
Very poor from over 10-18. The fact we even made a game of it was a surprise.
I’d also far rather Root or Bairstow over Billings. Tbh, both of them in and drop Hales too. He’s an airhead.
Should have stayed in bed.
Doubly so now.
And the chase had been going so well...
I had no idea that cricket was on! Ipad at work on winter Olympics though.... meh it's skiing 🙂 over to TMS!
