Well Shutree, I think that England have every chance here now...
Well Shutree, I think that England have every chance here now...
I'm making no more predictions... but what a match!
Moeen seems to have rediscovered the middle of his bat.
Although the top edge can work too.
^ But not the inside edge...
England made hard work of their second innings, though to be fair Pakistan’s strength is their bowling. The game got down to the wire.
The game didn't really go down to the wire, though.
England paced their innings to win by five wickets with an over to spare.
That's a fairly routine win by T20 standards.
I thought it was close, at the halfway stage England were ahead by 1 run under the DLS count with their openers already gone and a middle order that has had less exposure in this competition than some teams' while facing a strong bowling attack. I didn't see Englnd's batsmen as being in control, it was quite balanced. A mistake from Stokes in, say, the 18th over could have led to a different result. Anyway, we got there in the end with an over to spare.
Yes, Pakistan were unlucky to lose their star player, but they lost the game because they were at least 20 runs short of a defendable total.
Australia v England ODIs coming up tomorrow, Saturday and Tuesday.
The convicts won the toss and bowl.
Hard to see how England can be properly motivated here.
^ The dogs don't understand cricket, mate.
^ From what I see, and based upon your pictures, the mutts seem pretty confused about what is happening in the Mendip compound.
Better you dress the gardener in a colour coordinated kit that belies your present preference.
Offer him a bonus to wear an Ausie kit asuring him he will be a winner.
^ Even the gardener won't wear yellow mate!
The wife has a couple of yellow frocks I believe!
^ Obviously her choice of attire colour is based upon the memories of her time in the great country Australia.
I understand her colour choice!
I'm surprised our convict friends are so chirpy. They must fancy their chances on home soil.
We even put Roy back in to give them a chance.
We have the ashes so why would you be surprised?
Your largely unjustified perception that you unwashed smelly lot will win the ashes back is a joke!
Continue to live in hope but have a wash every now and then!
At least spread some clean living vibes in spite of your team being shite!
