    This session about sums up the way the series has gone, good positions but we contrive to miss either opportunity’s with the bat or miss chances with the ball to get on top. We saw last year we could dig ourselves out of a hole. Against these lot you can’t do that,

    Someone who only got into their team because of an injury to Cameron Green, has made our bowlers look like village green cricketers.

    There was potentially a run out opportunity when he got to the hundred as well. Fielder couldn't even gather the ball cleanly.

    No mate. Top 2 from the play off group of 6. Sri lanka and now Netherlands. They needed 279 off 44 overs (50 over game). to overtake Scotland on run rate. Scotland blew it tbh.

    Damage done now. The Aussies won't mind losing their last five wickets quickly so they can have us 4 or 5 down by the close. We'll be bricking it now.

    There's absolutely no chance of Carey getting out for under 10 here. None whatsoever.

    Let's see if that works...

    Joe Root needs to go into the same class as Bairstow for dropped catches at this rate.

    Edit: I'm a disgrace for doubting him.

    Head dropped on 9 gets 39. Marsh dropped on 12 gets 118. 136 extra runs that they shouldn't have got.

    Carey dropped by Root on 5, let's see what he ends up on now.
