Boult has been outstanding. Gonna need Starc and/or Dorff to be 2 wickets better to have a chance

Hat trick!!! Review or not, that's out surely. Fantastic bowling

 

[Bazal]

I feel like this is going to be a ripping game of cricket, but I'm too old to watch all night and I have a T20 tomorrow....FFS

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Boult gets a hattrick very thin but classy bowler

Nice bowling from Boult for the hatty

Meanwhile its a tight one Pakistan v Afghanistan.

Pakistan need 58 off 45 with 4 wickets in hand.

Typical Pakistan, knock off England and NZ before capitulating to the minnows of Afghanistan

Great knock from khawaja. Hopefully save him from calls of getting dropped to bat like that under immense pressure. It’s not always about getting 400 in an ODI and I’ve been saying this all series “what happens when our openers fail”. Khawaja can easily slide down the order if we are in the position to do so, but if not he can save an innings to get a respectable total. Also kudos to Carey who batted very well.. I thought he was so lucky to even make the team with wade’s form but he has proven himself this World Cup with the bat and is also a 10x better keeper.

Enter Kane.

Australia giving NZ some free overs through Smith, Finch and now Maxi. They’ll tap it around and are obviously relying on a big finish.

RRR worries me though.

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

Gulbadin Finch doing his best to lose the game with some whacky bowling changes

 

[vvvrulz]

I’m still struggling to see how Stoinplod is a guaranteed selection. At least NCN is a real bowler with a handy tonk

 

[vvvrulz]

Oh boy, Starc gets Williamson

 

[hineyrulz]

Starc gets Bradmanson, game on.

This game will live or die on the key wicket of Colin DeGrandlevers.

 

[hineyrulz]

Paddy you little Anzac!!!

 

[vvvrulz]

Taylor gone.

Really feels like we’ve blown this with that plod opening stand.

Neesh and TheGrandHouse will be crucial now, feels like an Elliott and Anderson semi situation

 

[hineyrulz]

Colin De Bye bye,
