not very intelligent laying 10 an over in the last 7 overs.

dont have much faith in this aus lineup, englands death bowling is decent...i hope

no batting left for aus

u MUG grant cooper

Lets see if my 310 comes in.

303.5 who,s backing it

stinker from Erasmus

$$$$$$$$$$$

Maxwell injured?

Not sure how Oz can expect to win with Agar batting so high.

Yes hes injured and not playing

Are we all getting on the Royal train of England during the innings break?

Cheers DT.

Willey is a token left armer who's not quick enough. His batting is his superior skill.

We've all been there!

I havent done my nuts yet but i might if Eng don't start well. 310+ has given me some breathing space.

What a player Marsh is.

25 runs ffs

class

haven't heard the female comm today? Did they take her off?

oitoitoi, i am rooting for 310- just for you.

Just because I like your name. I do have more green on over than under.

hahaha cheers bro

Backed 310+.

So what's the verdict guys?

no.  wasnt like a huge loss just frustrating.

Is this a tricky chase or a train? How long till England 1.2?

Very good batting conditions. Felt Oz never went really hard.

If England are over confident they will lose. Bat slightly within themselves and they will coast this.

Bat just like the aussies did and they should get this easy.

the way they batted the first 30 overs i mean.

cricbuzz thinks its above par.

Noted tortoises Bellsy and Trott brought home a chase of about this size quite easily a few weeks ago.

Problem is there is hardly a sane head(except Johnny) in this team. They might not realize they just need to score 6 an over.

ty boys

310 never in doubt

THANK Rashid for serving up a 25 run over near the end there.

Stunning overrate by the way.

Thankyou Rashid.

dt - that's bang on. They will try to be 70 off 10, 130 off 20. But by doing so they could be 120-4 after 20...

Let's see if they can adapt to a more modest chase (can't believe I'm saying 310 is modest....)

In a way England would find this easier if this was a 350 chase.

Hmm. Its England v England that's for sure.

I really don’t buy this easier to chase 350 narrative. If they successfully chase 350 actually chasing 310 they’ll get there with 5+ overs to spare. Yes you could argue that they might be too gung ho and lose wickets but a) that’s the same problem chasing 350 only with less room for manoeuvre and b) Joe Root.

england doing this as easily as expected

Have you heard of *Parkinsons Law* FS?.....I reckon the 1st game at Oval Parkinson showed up there.

Actually scrub that thinking about it..... run rate was never an issue at the Oval but I do think parkinsons law comes into cricket run chases.

Especially with Pakistan

If Croatia draw or win, it will be a great day for me. Slowly laying off England green now.

this is ridiculously easy. No meaningful cricket tomorrow.

Bit after time saying that’s not the way they play it but it isn’t!

Adore this top 3: all of them almost always score fast and often express. You can get them out but if you don’t, good luck keeping the run avalanche at bay.

I am hoping there is a twist in this game.

Just enough runs to get that there could be but don’t think this Aus attack has the firepower really. Having traded this for small money as didn’t really trust Aus batting abs certainly wasn’t backing England’s bowling on a good deck, I’m not going green now anyway. In fact, my trades have been very good, just not adding up to a big win. Did have another toss win of near £1.5k. People seem to want to back England at 1.98.

^^^I don't mean in this game, or series or even this year but they will renew themselves.

Yes they will. But interesting to see how they build up to the world cup with the cheaters back. Will they play them in the world cup?

I would imagine that the ban will be served and they’ll then return. You can’t really ban someone for a year then still not pick them for the same offence.

They’ve done this very well so far: savage the bowling initially then slow down a bit but still keep consistently scoring above the current RRR to take the pressure off even for the quieter over and play the odd big shot still to the right ball.

Aus batted stupidly slow and still got to 310 with a bad finish.

***FATTED***

Lyon is having his "career ended" as a 1 day prospect.

He's not the answer even if he took Roy

Seriously, what do we do when Stokes is back? At the moment I think we stick with the current batting and leave him out. Seems impossible to credit, especially given that he’s an extra bowling option and an outstanding fielder but dropping any of Bairstow, Roy and Hales would be on crack. I’d be tempted to lose Root, oddly but he’s great insurance against early wickets, especially chasing non massive totals.

Since Root is a handy spinner Moeen might come under the microscope.   Woakes too to come back

leave this crap watch the football

I’ve actually gone slightly green Aus now. Another wicket and I’ll trade it but low cost and potentially decent return, although still think this attack lacks the moxie to bowl England out.

could be tricky but Eng need to throw away 2 more wickets to make interesting.

Woakes in for a bowler, obviously.

I wouldn’t dream of playing Stokes ahead of Ali. In the lower middle order hitter role Ali is our best option over Stokes or anyone else you demote and he’s a more reliable and much less injury prone bowler too. He’s been very good with the ball recently and is pretty economical by modern standards.  It wouldn’t be terrible to have Root and Stokes be your fifth bowler but I see essentially no upside in weakening your attack by leaving Ali out.

Hmm, far from this game being back in the balance and the rate isn’t by no means scary but another wicket and a few more quiet overs and it might get a bit interesting. Tempted to stick a lot of my green (not that I have very much) on Aus rather than just a nominal positive there.

Went £3k green Aus just now. I love Hales but devastated Paine dropped that.

Croatia 1 Argentina 0

$$$$$$$$$$$

Croatia price didn't move much in the outright though

and im still waiting for the twist n this game

Messi is the GOAT but his Argentina  are pretty ordinary I must say. Root slog sweeps and is OUT!

83 off 91. Could be interesting

England trying to mess this up?

Ive cashed out thinking its over but got a better price anyway as wicket happened at the same time.

Now they better not mess up

Still £2k Aus so would love them to screw it up but neither a high enough rate nor enough wickets down to be likely.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

I am bathed in green. DOnt know what to do

I can now afford Germany getting knocked out so will let that bet ride. If they win on Saturday I will be booking a trip to Cloverland.

Why isn't this a 10 match series?

GrantCKing just doubled 200 pounds at the footie! After winning 125 here earlier. Wonder what he's gonna do with so much dough.

Slap up McNugget?

I’ve just had probably my biggest day ever. Don’t keep proper records but can’t  recall a £5.5k day before. Toss and match odds here and a whole series of winning football bets, including thousands on Argentina Croatia, with a very decent slice of my bank at stake, which I didn’t even watch much of because of children and cricket. I’m celebrating with a quiet sit down and contemplate.
