Cricket

Once again? Jeez what an idiot. Are you right all the time? And at the time we were getting smashed. What a prick you are.
Look back through the thread. It’s permanent wet sheets. I tend not to call it because I’ve been surprised so many times. So I’m never right and never wrong. I just enjoy the spectacle that is cricket.
 
Has Maxwell got a brain?

England win a game they had no right to win

Just the bare stats tell a tale...

124-1 after 14
overs chasing 163

Australia 42 needed off 6 overs with 9 wickets left at only barely over a run a ball (7 an over)

Collapsed to 160-6 off 20 England winning by 2 runs

Rashid 2-29 off 4 overs at 7.25, the star bowler at least as far as figures go although credit to Tom Curran for holding his nerve at the death and worthy contributions from all

Wood got 1-31 off 4 at 7.75
Archer 2-33 off 4 at 8.25
Jordan 0-23 off 3 at 7.67
Tom Curran 0-33 off 4 at 8.25
Moeen 0-9 off 1 over at 9.0 obviously

Runs for Dawid Malan 66 and Jos Buttler 44 but the total looked way short.

The penultimate over from Jordan set it up.
 
It’s a funny thing watching cricket these days. I probably like test cricket the most but all 3 formats seem like 3 different sports. Great to watch. The tension in those final few overs was peak sports viewing for me
England games recently have all been excellent games, real ups and downs. They seem to have a knack of finding ways to win too.

Couldn't see England winning this after such a good start from the opening pair from oz...

But a few bad shots & a few wickets panic sets in & England win by 2 runs...

Just goes to show never give up...

Winners never quit, & quitters never win...
