He started his innings seeming frightened but suddenly turned a switch and played his normal attacking way
Agreed. He needs to start doing something here though, if he's going to potter along with a strike rate of 66 at this point he may as well smash his own wicket.
And now a half century for him. Should win this match comfortably now we've reached 3 half centuries. !
So yeah whooppy puppy lol, we/England win our last two group games. But it's no consolation at all really, is it!.
After winning their first 4 group games, New Zealand kind of flopped a bit after that. And India meanwhile have looked unbeatable, so far. But they haven't won it yet!.
I saw Jonny Bairstow in Harrogate yesterday and he gave me a half smile as he walked past. I wanted to say something to him, but decided to respect his privacy.
Getting to pick the pitch helped them. I hope Australia win tomorrow as I think they stand the best chance of beating India. 6/5 RAB on Sky Bet for Australia to beat South Africa and both teams to score 225+ runs.
It’s a tough one to call as they’re so evenly matched. However, both are well behind India on current form
NZ had India rattled yesterday. If you can get through India new ball attack relatively unscathed you can get after the 2nd line bowlers. Williamson doesnt hole out , I think NZ had a chance to pull off the shock
Good man for respecting his privacy. Today’s game should be a belter, I have SA as slight favourites but it’s not much more than a 50/50 pick. I just hope the rain doesn’t interfere too much.
I disagree on that. I think South Africa are the only team that could beat them on their day. If they batted first and got going they could score too many for even India to chase. I don’t see Australia putting a silly total on the board as their middle order isn’t aggressive enough. I would back India 9/10 against either side though to be honest.
Fewer things in Cricket better than Miller Time. But after a few quick wickets the pressure is really on him now to keep going.
Not good news from Yorkshire … Massood has got test captaincy so we’ll need another county captain. Also the Ashley deal hasn’t gone through because of late interest from a new IPL franchise team.
