England v Australia - THE ASHES

[toffeejack]

not a great first 10 but a decent recovery from the 2 wicket over. need to just go for everything now. so many power hitters in this line-up. couple come off and we'll get a good score.

 

[The Equaliser]

62-2 after 10.

Not a great scoring rate, but Morgan seems to have upped it suddenly.

Haha, someone's found the ball outside the ground and walked off with it.

 

[toffeejack]

so i usually ride my bike along that strip where the man just picked up that ball. i won't be cycling there whilst a T20 is going on, that's for sure.

 

[toffeejack]

wonderful partnership. thought that one was sailing away as well. when you work out morgan's score over the balls he scored off that was destructive. england need to work a bit on the dot balls because they can get so so many off boundaries.

really think we're a good bet for T20 world cup whenever it's next. so much power in this long batting line-up with useful all-round options from ali, stokes and rashid.

India next year

Starc still bowling wides in the 18th over, then bowls at the batsman and gets a wicket. Needs to engage his brain more.

 

[The Equaliser]

182 -5. Competitive total.

 

[toffeejack]

could have put the game to bed before they batted there, but nothing to shout about apart from the big partnership.

an awful lot of dot balls, need to find the gaps a tad more but a pretty good score against a good bowling attack.

 

[toffeejack]

hahahaha there's only so many times you can feel sorry for someone.

i like watson, that was brilliant though ha

 

[The Equaliser]

Poor old Watto.

His football skills shown to be woefully inadequate.

 

[toffeejack]

topley nearly got both of these out with smith should have been caught by a fielder too close in and maxwell inside edging just past the stumps and both went for 4. looks to be the difference maker.

 

[The Equaliser]

Wow. Incredible 6 from Smith.

 

[summerisle]

Good day for Moeen. Maxwell out

 

[The Equaliser]

Superb catch that.

 

[maverick94]

Played Moeen! Think we'll just about lose this one, but loving the future of England Cricket!
