WC 2nd Semi Final Australia v England - Birmingham 11/7/19

[Hutty1986]

Woeful. Hope nz flog the poms.

I’d say about 60 runs short from Aussie....

Mind you... I thought 240 was about 40 short yesterday...

Starc is absolutely capable of running through this English line up... but he’s gonna need to do it early while the ball is swinging.

To put it simply... if England can get through the first power play without going more than 1 wicket down I think they will cruise home.

 

[JamesRustle]

We need to have them 5 for 50 after 20 overs to be any chance.... more likely they will have finished the run chase by then.

Stoinis.

Don’t ever darken this door again merkin!

Stoinis.

Don’t ever darken this door again merkin!

And Slaxwell the Cam Smith Doppelganger.

And Slaxwell the Cam Smith Doppelganger.

I've never despised an Australian cricketer as much as Maxwell.

Andrew Symonds is second by the length of the Flemington straight.

 

[Hutty1986]

On his form of last game, Starc is more likely to be a liability than our only hope. Their openers could decimate this chase in the first ten overs

The UN, whoops I meant might mighty Ingerland have this in the bag (cmon reverse jinx)

My view on the Warner/Smith booing thing, if CA didn't hand down those lengthy penalties nothing would be made of it, you don't see Du Plessis boo'd out of the stadium whenever he walks out to bat

But, but Pommy's offended!

 

[blaza88z]

We basically need to get them 3 down minimum before we change our bowlers

 

[JamesRustle]

If, and it's a small if (at the moment), we win, does the hierarchy make any changes to the team for the final... or do the stubborn flogs go with all 4 of the geniused vics?

 

[JamesRustle]

On the upside, if (when) we lose, at least I'll get an early night on Sunday and start the work week fresh.

 

[blaza88z]

There's no way Handscomb can be selected going forward, it's ok if you've got a shit technique and you find a way but if you've got a shit technique and you get out.. it just looks so much worse than it should

 

[Hutty1986]

The entire pom top 7 is dangerous. It will take something absolutely miraculous to roll them for under our pathetic score.

 

[Hutty1986]

Quality start dorfderp

 

[JamesRustle]

Roy 1 off 10... he's either hitting 4x 4s or getting out in the next 12 balls.

 

[mozza91]

Eagerly awaiting the England choke here.

I’m predicting 3 run outs and an attempted assault by Stokes.

 

[jargan83]

Ffs batsman are such princesses these days

Hear that merkin screaming all the time?

Hope he gets booted out of the stadium.
