England v Australia ODI thread

[martonimp]

Not as interesting as the Ashes but better than T20! Could be a close series. I reckon 3-2 England (weather permitting!)

Good close game to start the series. Bit chilly for a day/night game though!

Yes I was watching some of it live on Sky and people were well wrapped up. Shame our batting collapsed after a good start by Roy and Hales. Next one tomorrow. Aussies as world champions must be favourites.

Rain around this morning but forecast to clear. Aussies have won 10 out of the last 11 against us!

Good start by Australia. They look like scoring 300+ in the 49 overs. Our batting will be tested again.

 

[martonimp]

Hammered again but great stuff from Morgan and Plunkett

 

[Stevie_imp]

Yes we are not up to the world champs when it comes to batting.

 

[Stevie_imp]

Well here we are again for the third and must win ODI. England win toss and will bat. Bairstow in for Butler.

 

[martonimp]

Better from England!

 

[Stevie_imp]

Yes Roy Morgan and Taylor performed with the bat. Bit sloppy to go from 200-2 to all out 300 but our spinners saw them off. Good the series is still alive.

hope the autumn weather holds up for the last two!!

 

[martonimp]

Great stuff from England yesterday. Should be a cracker tomorrow!

 

[Stevie_imp]

Hmm strange start at Old Trafford. Roy should have appealed his dismissal as clearly not out. Hales threw his wicket away again. Now Morgan takes a ball right in the side of the head an: goes off injured. We are effectively 23-4

it's not getting any better!
