    Haha very much tongue in cheek. Get the openers out for scraps and we’ll go well

    I think we'll knock them over for 175 and chase it down in 30 overs.

    They'll get 378. Which is the only way we'll have a decent chance as we'll have to go and bat properly like we were doing pre World Cup and I'd give us a shout of getting them.

    We got to being the best in the world by being expert chasers. Edgbaston is a great ground to chase on usually. It's not the end of the world losing the toss

    Having said that the Aussies are ridiculously spawny, even when they're not cheating, so they'll probably win anyway!

    Tricky one. Batting first facing Starc etc and that annoying Lyon is not ideal either.
    Best we can hope for is to get into their top end and get them panicking.

    We've won 14 out of the last 17 batting second? Would suggest any notion we can't chase is massively far off the mark.

    First ball 4 . Think the Aussies are up for it. We need to get the basics right and build from there.
