Cricket thread 2020: executing our skillsets

[Mantle Retractor]

Holed out to the mighty mullet wicket machine of Erinsborough. Fuck's sake.

Great review Zamps.

Billings finally nails one after ten minutes of wild flailing.

[Shoulders?-Stomach!]

Christ... another Zampa wicket, Billings gone.

Fairly long, albeit potentially dangerous tail today.

Every time we look like we're going somewhere another wicket goes down.

EDIT: not much Bairstow could have done about that one though

Great little batting cameo from Woaksey.

[Shoulders?-Stomach!]

Woakesyyy

This looks good for batting but the day/night switch turned the first odi as it was clearly more difficult to bat on. And at least we actually have 302 on the board to defend, could have been worse.

Difficult one to call. Can't help feeling Australia are slightly light with Stoinis at 3.

[Thursday]

Aye not too bad in the end, still feels like we may have underperformed a little for the pitch, but left some space for Australia to bottle things.

[Shoulders?-Stomach!]

Stoinis shouldn't really be at 3. The sort of half-cocked idea our bad old odi regime would have had.

[Thursday]

Stopping Warner just short of him making a big contribution. Beautiful.

[Shoulders?-Stomach!]

HAHA! Big spinner from Root.

Will we see Warner in England again?

[Mantle Retractor]

Superb. Bye bye Reverend

[Shoulders?-Stomach!]

Oh fuck me - what have you done Mitch Marsh

Root!

[Thursday]

Alright time for Root to sack off the batting and focus on his bowling.

[Shoulders?-Stomach!]

Love the third umpire giving a little bit of sass with the tone

'Decision is OUT, repeat: OUT'

God, they've fucked this up horribly.

[Shoulders?-Stomach!]

Got to love that run out.

Labuschagne will absolutely hate that.

[Cuellar]

Fucking love that Warner wicket. Never gets old seeing him get out, but to ROOT lol

[Thursday]

My astute analysis says that England need a wicket here.

[Thursday]

Christ this is dogshit. England's turn to bottle it.

Rashid's getting murdered with that short boundary.

FFS.

[druss]

Good call to go with your least economical bowler for the last over.

Wait, what?

[druss]

Haha who could have seen that coming? Fucking ridiculous captaincy.

[druss]

Robbed of an exciting finish by Morgan there, big eye roll when he put Rashid on.

[Quote]

Bad call there Eoin.

[druss]

Bad call there Eoin.

A classic case of doing exactly what the opposition team would like you to do.

[Quote]

Yeah, tailenders love a slog at a spinner.

[BlodwynPig]

Excellent series win for the Greatest Team on the Planet.

[king_tubby]

Fucking hell, Jofra.
