what a waste of space. So many holes in his batting. Should have played a safer option webster

[vvvslaxman]

Archer starts with 124 kph

[vvvslaxman]

Nitin is doing a good job in this match.

Where is Mitch Marsh?

[Lord]

Starc should swing his bat. Conserve energy for bowling

Booms terminated his career. He is available for tests. But he retired from  sheffield shield. So chances are very very slim for him to come back without first class practice

Inglis looks really poor, technique and body all over the place. Thought he was one of the younger players in an ageing Aus team but he's gonna be 31 soon.

good for T20s thats it

[vvvslaxman]

It is funny when batsmen start walking right after reviewing for lbw.  Lyon just did that.

[The Realist]

Aus collapsed. Last 10 overs: 35/5

[Lord]

435 to chase

[vvvslaxman]

That was some collapse.

Lyon, CUmmins, Starc, Boland against these guys no chance.

[Tillu]

England has the batting to chase this total but they need to be a little judicious in their approach like Stokes played in the 1st innings.

[The Realist]

This is a very low quality series.

 

Two poor teams and whoever makes the least mistakes will win out. 

[vvvslaxman]

[The Realist]

And Eng make the mistake as usual, 4/1 in 2nd over

He plays 90% of the balls he faces. He doesn't like to leave balls. He has said it many times. For him it is not a mistake.
