Media, cock up, screw up and hope that the police/cps would have moved faster.
They had to do something, now it’s going to drag on much longer so need to avoid more problems probably from a contractual point of view.

Nice sunny day in Brisvegas today, fast looking good wicket.
Smith winning toss, batting and happy with that, Morgan replies we were going to make them bat anyway.
Going to have to get well past 300 on this deck Warner and Finch getting a good start 6 overs in….

That’s an annoyingly good start by the Aussies.

Just to add highest run chase was 306 from 49 overs and highest total was 326 by Australia.

And Smith is very unhappy! Very Very unhappy!!! Love the look of shock when he was told to march there, nice progress getting through them

I know I’m probably speaking too soon, but am I the only one who thinks that Australia seem to have forgotten to pick any bowlers for this match? Starc is unlikely to get 10-fer

ROOOOOOOOOT!

Back to back 100 for Finch is rather annoying

But now he’s gone, as has the more useless of the two Marshes

Well, that was easy enough. Aussies must be bored.

cracking team win

Well a very entertaining innings from England there, flipping between peril and doom and then Butler & Woakes doing the business to hit the magic 300, Steve Smith must be wondering what he has to do in this game.

Good recovery- should be a good match if Finch keeps scoring tons.

Buttler & Woakes sounds like a shirtmaker

Warner for 8 🙂

And another. Smith needs to steady things, but Wood bowling so nicely.

This one might finally be a close one.

Well England have 2hrs to knock them over or make it impossible before I have to go party this evening.

With Plunkett off and Root being attacked, I didn’t think that was likely until Finch’s LBW

Well, Finch has gone LBW

There is about to be a massive dummy spit. Smith just about out…

He’s not happy.
Oh dear.

Yep, that was a hell of a long review there! Game right on here

tough shit Smith. You’d have taken it the other way and you walked on the field when it happened.

Super player, but a nasty little turd.

Wicket.
Getting a bit tight.

Good game this.

This is going to go down to the wire I think

We are struggling a bowler down though.

Will be tight, but 9.5 an over from the tail?

Couple of wickets would help a lot

12 an over from last 5 is tough.

So it should be 🙂 leaving on a high

This could be verrry close. Tail not looking entirely tail-y.

Rate still climbing tho.

i reckon we’ll get a wicket or two yet

Yeah, but buttler put 24 on in this over of our innings

squeaky bum time

run out coming

21 from 5?

Unclenching a little…

Clever fielding. But I wouldn’t bet against a no ball yet…

Unclenching a little…
