Bruh,Australia are the Kings of giving up a record,South Africa chased down 438 against us in an ODI,England scored the highest ever ODI total against us with 481
Tonight is ripe for Australia giving up another record
Didn’t the West Indies chase down 400 million against us in 1999 when we were actually good at Test Cricket?
Also South Africa chased down a record score of 4/414 at the WACA.
And there is it folks, Aussies by about 100.Root is still there and looks to be back in form. Stokes has been their best batsman so far in the series and he can go with him. Then they have a long batting lineup still to come. Their number 10 averages 20 with a test ton. Bairstow/Buttler/Woakes/Archer/Broad are all capable of 30+ runs with one of Root or Stokes on the other end.
It is a 50-50 proposition at best. If Root and Stokes both get their eye in tonight then money would be on England.
Quoting myself Haynetrain style from Friday afternoon.Pessimistic merkins. These soap dodging (racist) merkins will shit the bed when big bad James Pattinson rips into them tonight. Root is the biggest coward in test cricket.
Of England win I'll sell my dick to science
