Aus v Eng ODI series

[backfootpunch]

taylor consuming balls trying to get his 100

dont like that would rather he slogged one up in the air trying to maximise the team total

[rich1uk]

he had to work hard for those last few runs but cant have been easy seeing the wickets tumbling at the other end

cracking innings from him

I expect to see him moved down to #6 for the next game

[budgetmeansbudget]

After the NZ series ODI's are officially boring again.

[rich1uk]

just didn't see it through to the end , hes showed you can make a big score at close to a run a ball without being reckless and minimising dot balls , a few others could learn from that

[rich1uk]

95-6 off the last 17 overs is pretty poor considering how deep we bat

[backfootpunch]

3 games 3 lower order collapses

well played roy, morgan and taylor

the rest of the team not so much, someone needs to have a word with alex hales he isnt in the team to make 9 off 31 then tamely chip it to midwicket

[budgetmeansbudget]

I guess Taylor has now got his place in the side cemented for the next ten games. Another switch off for me as I find him so painful to watch. He just hasn't got the power to reach the boundary consistently at this level.

I'm just glad we got to 300.

It's not enough though.

It looked tough when pace was taken off the ball

Nobody other than roy looked really comfortable

[Aidan11]

Just watching the highlights now and it's ridiculous.

Australia didn't take the wickets, we gave them to them.

Stupid shots and run outs...playing like it was T20.

ben stokes only has two scores above 35 in his 26 innings ODI career

[Aidan11]

Sloppy fielding so far.

[backfootpunch]

neither finn nor woakes look threatening in any way

[Dilbert]

With Warner and Watson missing, the Aussie lineup seems to lose the fear factor they carried through the WC
Get Maxi cheaply and it will put a lot of pressure on Smith and Finch to get the big scores.

[rich1uk]

neither finn nor woakes look threatening in any way

woakes wicket taking stats look ok with 47 wickets in 36 games but hes had 2 6fers so the rest of his career he averages one wicket per match and in almost half his games he hasn't taken a wicket

I don't think that's good enough for an opening bowler

finn's played almost double the games woakes has and has fewer wicketless returns
