Did Pakistan have a bet they would drop Warner on 10?

 

Getting into squeaky bum territory for the Aussies.... Pakistan 264/4 from 38 overs

 

Damp Squib in the end......... Pakistan 9 down and 60 odd short....

 

Aussies have a win over Pakis, nice.

Found this old image the other day, wish we had these quicks in our team, now.

Lillee, Walker, Thompson.

 

Ahh for another young Dennis in our team. Still the greatest fast bowler we've ever produced - even after coming back from his back surgery. Managed to change his action to assist to his limitations and only got smarter and more difficult to play. Before all the sports science stuff around today - he just worked it out on his own. The other 2 were pretty handy as well. Don't know too many batsmen who wanted to face a fired up Thomo. And Maxi would at least confuse them with his action.

 

This bloke didn't mind pummelling a few aussies !

 

Obviously a great all rounder but I wouldn't suggest his overall batting was great v australia. Average of under 30 and had as many ducks as he had 100s and 50s. Also had a lower test average against us than his overall test average.
He did manage some great test innings against us though.

 

Big early blow for England as Topley gets de Kock.

 

England unable to push on, story of their World Cup so far

 

Could do with another one soon.

 

Raining boundaries at present

 

Looking at 350.

 

Going to be close this. England looking knackered in the heat.

 

I think they will look for 370

 

We will have to go some to stay in the World Cup, how effin’ horrible to lose twice to that country

 

Or 400!

 

Dreadful bowling again

 

Dropping Livingstone to get Stokes in meant we missed out on another spin option. All the quicks went for plenty.

 

Yup, we're toast.

 

2 down already & this is depressing as watching Rangers
