Sooperstar Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Can't see anything other than an England win now. Probably be done in the next 10 minutes.

Malinga the Swinga Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Great win for Australia. Not sure bouncing Lyon and Cummings was answer when they were so well set. Field positions just allowed them to get single after single but that's easy to say after event of course. Could be a classic series Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malinga the Swinga Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 If you didn't enjoy that, sport is not for you. Apart from Robinson getting a bit heated when he got Khawaja out, both teams seem to get along (not surprising as they play for same teams in 20/20).

Dusk_Till_Dawn Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Fair play, that’s a sensational win I still find England’s declaration a bit odd. Makes for great cricket but very risky tactically Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boris Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 Excellent test match. For me, the declaration wasn't the issue. England's thin spin options were. Can't legislate for Moen's injury, but Root's last over going for 14 swung it for the Aussies. IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malinga the Swinga Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 Anyone care to explain why Scotland only gave 7 overs to McMullen, 5 for 35, yet allowed Ireland to rebuild their innings, 286, when we had them 17 for 3 and 70 odd for 5. McMullen taken off when had 3 wickets for handful of runs and not brought back on till way to late. Basically made our task way harder than it should have been. If we lose, then captain needs to take responsibility for major tactical error. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
