Having looked at the squads such and Taylor with Rhodes in the middle

Anyone see the U19’s overnight, chasing 128 v Aus in World Cup quarter final, 47-0, all out for 96.....
Mick Hucknall takes 8-35!

Pope miracle saves Australia at under-19 cricket World Cup

I started watching but turned it off to watch United Passions (that film FIFA made), not sure which was worse

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

Fuuuuucking hell. Fairly optimistic lbw shout first ball, then Roy out caught for a 2nd ball duck ‍

Fuck my life, Bairstow caught behind for a 9 ball duck. Terrible shot trying to smack it through cover, 3 for 4

So after 10 overs we’re 5 down, RR is 1.8 and we haven’t hit a single boundary

The Aussies will look even more sillier when England win from here.....

 

[eastwoodsdustman]

The way they play a collapse is likely every 6 or 7 games. They’ve done well to get to 196.

 

[Covstu]

I think this is one we will lose, an easy total to chase down even they can’t Duck this up

 

[Captain Dart]

Australia won.. under 40 overs.

 

[wingy]

Woakes had a nice knock, shame about the first five.

 

[tisza]

Batting like that is why we'll never win a tournament. They'll look great for a few games then lose their heads in a game and be knocked out.

 

[Covstu]

Did we take the foot off the gas given it was wrapped up already? would be nice to think we were a little more cut throat that that tbh. We looked poor and we could have got them out for a decent total.

 

[Mcbean]

Will win 4 -1 !

 

[Covstu]

Jonny Bairstow unsold in the IPL!?

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

For reference smith rashid is bowling leg spin

 

[Covstu]

Going to be a close one again. 259 definitely a chaseable total

 

[Covstu]

227/8 5 overs to go!

 

[I_Saw_Shaw_Score]

Good lad Tommy C!

 

[Otis]

Bloody hell there was some very substandard village level cricket there from England.

Absolutely abysmal fielding on at least 4 occasions that could have easily cost us the game.

Well done Tom Curran though. Excellent work!

 

[Mcbean]

Yea 4 -1 - good for Curran - still had a few dropped catches - still would have preferred winning the tests as my Aussie friend doesnt entertain winding up on the one days

 

[chiefdave]

Can't imagine what has made them suspicious!

 

[I_Saw_Shaw_Score]

I know it’s a warm up game and it counts for nowt but seeing Ashes tormentor Nathan Lyon going for 34 off an over from David Willey is alright!

 

[I_Saw_Shaw_Score]

Anyone else watching NZ v Aus from Eden Park? NZ 243 Aus 193/2 off 14 cruising towards victory. As it’s a Rugby ground the straight hit must be 50 metres, bit of a farce tbh.

England have a test there in a few weeks can see a few of England’s headless chickens getting out to a few missed slogs down the ground!

 

[Covstu]

Not watch8ng it on protest as we were that bad!

 

[I_Saw_Shaw_Score]

NZ paceman Ben Wheeler just bowled 3.1 0-64 he bowled 2 full toss no balls so has been taken out the attack, means Trent Boult has to finish his over and his first delivery is a free hit Wheeler has left him with.

Bet kids are lining up to be bowlers after this one!

 

[chiefdave]

Looks like the T20 Final will be decided on Duckworth Lewis. Absolutely pelting it down.

Aus only needed 30 from 5.2 overs anyway with 7 wickets left.

 

[wingy]

See they levelled the series and one lucky punter won £50K for a one handed catch.
How come?

Its a promotion by Tui, a NZ brewery. You have to buy one of their orange catch a million shirts which are $25. Then at each game the first person in the crowd to take a clean one handed catch wins $50K.

 

[Covstu]

good win today and Stokes shown over the last two games what he can do..

Tui’s brings back memories of Queenstown!

Good savy bit of sponsorship buy the t shirt have to take the catch!

 

[Covstu]

great idea in my book, would you want to risk not buying one....
