Target revised 285-295 runs

Oz stand at 262/7 47.5 overs

Good comeback from English bowler. Collapse for Aussie middle order and Finch banging his head on wall, momentum is with English team now. they must be feeling pump hehehe

Australiua were too eary to hit the balls. They wanted to accelerate the run rate too quick, I think from the 33rd over they were trying to accelarate the run. Finch needed in the pitch for more overs but after his century he became careless. Now they are paying the price.

280 is the max I think.

Edit: Well we have 285 runs. So the target is 286 and I am smelling a close match. Both England and Australia has equal chance now.

It's advantage Australia, as the pitch is offering a lot of support for the pacers. England is going to struggle against the Australian pace battery of Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins and Jason Behrendorff. The problem here is that England will be struggling to reach the semis if they lose this match. Bangladesh is having 7 points and they will be at 9 if they could beat Pakistan.

No team has a significant disadvantage or advantage at this moment, its 50-50% chance for both sides. Aussie undoubtedly messed up bad with their middle order and  50 runs short, if we consider their excellent opening stand in their inning.

England need to play first 10-12 overs carefully, if they manage to score 50 runs with only one wicket loss (James Vince, not Bairstow) then they are very much in the game and anything can happen, but nothing is sure at the moment because both teams are old-time rivals and fierce competitors.

[AB de Royse777]

Well England lost their first wicket without scoring any run. Vince is proving himself useless. We do not want to see the England that was against Sri Lanka. Just work for a good partnership and the runs will come easily.

This is going to be very interesting match as both teams going for 2 points and old and fierce rivalry is going on.

[Pffrt]

Am I missing something? What's wrong with Roy?
Australia needs some early wicket if they want to win this match. If England wins today, the twist of 1st round will be no longer.

Roy out with Hamstring problem and now Aussies have 2 just 15 on board English team is slipping badly from fourth spot.

[AB de Royse777]

This meant to happen. I never had much confidence with the English team even they say that this team is their best ever. I was expecting them to go to the Semi easily but now it looks like team like Bangladesh or Sri Lanka can take it away from them.

So far poor performance from English team in this match. They need to turn the table around if they wants to win this match and keep their hope intact for the Semi.

Edit: Shame. Morgan gone! This was not necessary. Why did he had to take this shot?

[JSRAW]

Damn,

Score board looking beautiful for English spectators just wondering are they still going to sledge or boo the Warner-smith duo or not? because their home team is out of ideas hehehe.

26/3 after 6 overs

150/3 after 30 overs


After this match England will start practising for Ashes

Bangladesh, Srilanka and Pakistan fans are smelling the chance to get no 4 spot for semis.

[Vishnu.Reang]

England struggling at 26/3 after 6.0 overs. The only positive for them is that Bairstow is still there. As I had predicted, the Australian pacers made the life miserable for the English batsmen. In case they lose this match, then they'll move one step closer to crashing out of the tournament. The toss made a lot of difference and the English were right in choosing to field first. But despite that they are about to lose.

And I am worried about not to get 2 points in the pool :-P

They way the innings is progressing, this will be either a trashing win or easy win for Australia even though they managed to score only 285 LOL

The difference between England and South Africa is: SA were easy to eliminate from the first round and England is just making it hard, some resistance only but eventually they will be eliminated.

Again they say this English team is the best ever team in English cricket history LOL

Me too lol that's why I am dreaming with this, I opted for England today lol

Hehehe btw If England get kicked out from tournament then I am going to troll Nasser Hussain and Michael Vaughan waiting for this opportunity since they beat India in test series lol

Not sure about Nasser Hussain and Vaughan but KP will be so embarrassed. I noticed in few programs Kevin Peterson was proudly predicting that England will be lifting the cup. Others will roast him AF LOL

[Pffrt]

Bairstaw and Stokes are trying to build a partnership but I think it will not be easy to win from this point. However, it will be good for us and all the rest team which will have advantage.

[FIFA worldcup]

Bairstow is gone too. England team is not looking is good shape today. I wonder if today is not their day.

I am worried about England more than any other team.

I am also seeing England going out of world cup.  I don't think they will be able to beat the strong Indian side too.  It would be a big upset if this happens with the home nation.

[Cloudbet]

England are just falling apart 

Vince has been a pretty useless addition to the team, as an opener he has got just 40 runs from 3 games, including the duck today.

Roy's return is desperately needed otherwise I can't see them beating India like this.

Today I went with: 

⚪ Root total: Over 40.5 (1.92)
⚪ AUS top bowler: Starc (3.35)

Root is obviously a lost cause (why did I bet on the English top order when they have been consistently inconsistent?!) but Starc could save the day with 2 wickets already.

[AB de Royse777]

So now it's up to Stokes and Buttler. The top order of England has failed today shamelessly. I do not think they have any chance today unless this partnership breaks any world record. I am not sure about the record partnership in the 5th wicket but assuming it's something 150+.

Good luck three lions.

Root is obviously a lost cause (why did I bet on the English top order when they have been consistently inconsistent?!) but Starc could save the day with 2 wickets already.

You have very good chance with Starc. In his last spell he will get few more wickets from the yorker balls.

[JSRAW]

So now it's up to Stokes and Buttler.

England will Win the Match comfortably during 49 overs, with loss of 6 wickets and 2 points are mine along with other fella

Nope I am not drunk or stoned

When I get too drunk I feel the same that I am not drunk :-P Take a nape and you will come back to reality :-)

Plot twist : I don't drink or smoke

[erikalui]

As I predicted, it was a game below 300 runs and now Eng are struggling to get 287 as 5 wickets have already fallen. With Stokes on strike, still hope is alive but if he gets out, it will be more tough to chase down 122 runs.
