Thread: Cricket scores around the world

England 1 for 1

England need 10+ an over to win

... and Pakistan win by 5 runs, which is a lot closer then many thought when Pakistan were well on top and the viewer poll only gave England a 2% chance of winning.

I did laugh at the bacons have a good old barney with each other even after they'd won.

England v Australia: Eoin Morgan says 'huge' to have best players back - BBC Sport

More than a couple of hours.... 18:00 BST.

Good to see that the 'Freddie Mercury 'tache' vacancy left by the departure of Mitchell Johnson has finally been filled.



Riley Meredith

He looks like a cad and a bounder.

Convicts won the toss and bowl.

Not quite sure how the convicts lost that, it was definitely there for the taking, but credit to England for keeping the pressure on.

Yep +1

I didn't see the game, but the commentary reflects your post.

The Aussies apparently lost 5/24 off 5 overs (something like that).

Good to see the old foes at each other again ... even in the shortened version of the game.

#2 starts in just under an hour.

Play starts at 2.15pm and the forecast for Southampton is pretty good, with just a 10pc chance of a shower.
For the second Sunday afternoon running, anyone in Britain can watch on BBC television.

It’s like the John Player League all over again.

See you just after 1.45 for the toss and the teams. I
n the meantime, do join Tanya Aldred as she covers the county scene, including the first gig on Ian Bell’s farewell tour.

Interesting start

They did incredibly well getting 157 from there.

Very kind of the convicts to throw away a review so early.

If it's any consolation to Bairstow, I have knocked the bails off, but I was pissed out of my trolley playing in the club social.

Aussie spinners look pretty ordinary.

^ That'll be the cue for an England collapse...

Well maybe...Buttler is taking the piss right now, though.

Back to Cummins...understandable.

Are England trying to return the compliment?

A: No, they were just taking the piss.




2-0 to the good guys.

Indeed, even the cue from Cy didn't bother Buttler...another great innings from him.
