All my fault, I switched on the TV coverage 10 minutes ago and England have been awful. No boundaries and two wickets!

Two back to back wickets spoiling the show. Well bowled Jhye. :clap

40 in 14 now. England to fall short of 500.

I didn't see a single four or six off the bat in the last four and a half overs.

What on earth were they doing putting Root in at all. He's out of form as it is but can't slog at the death.

Joe 4 runs in 6 balls. Moeen 11 from 9 :roll:

481 for England. :bow:

Any danger Adi can cut down on his fantasy achievements, three of his posts take up a page!

Plus it's excessive bragging!

No wins this years. Can't flop more than that.

Just checked, takes 8 posts of mine plus others posts as well. Will try to rearrange on this weekend though if it's becoming a problem for others. :thumb

Thought i had organized this well, year-wise, colour wise. :dunno

Tye would have done it if he'd bowled out.

Bit disappointing England didn't make 500 :(

100 for Tye.

Just 26 runs from 27 balls between Jos, Joe and Moeen. This cost England a record 500.

Aussies starting quickly. Can't chase this though.

Aussies scoring 8 runs per over so far. 32/1 in 4.

Head needs to show the T20 form tonight which he did in end of the Big Bash season.

All these 480 plus scores really, really make me uncomfortable though. Its all well and good watching Hales smash it all around the park, but where is the anchorman?

English ODI team has become far to bourgeois, we need Andy back with his keen eye for an opener who can grind out a 50 in 100 balls, and backed up by men who can get us past 100 without losing wickets after 25 overs...

A couple of wickets. I'm guessing the Aussies will be out for 280 in the 35th over.
