Biggest win in ODI history.

 

Great performance with Bat & Ball, makes you wonder what went wrong in 1st match

 

Dennis didn’t like beer so ……




Three greats of the game….

 

Decent start, 68-0 off 4 overs.

 

Didn’t know this was on. What fun.

 

Buttler 83 from 30 deliveries. Great innings.

 

Utter carnage......

300 a possibility...... 7 overs to get 80 runs....madness

 

Fabulous stuff from Salt

Sutherland, Gardner shatter England’s spirit in six-wicket World Cup rout
ByIan Chadband

A consummate unbeaten century partnership between Annabel Sutherland and Ash Gardner has steered Australia to another World Cup triumph, the two masterful all-rounders shattering England’s spirits once again in a six-wicket rout.

The dynamic duo enjoyed sensational days at Indore’s Holkar Stadium on Wednesday, Gardner adding her second century of the tournament (104 not out) to her earlier two wickets, while player-of-the-match Sutherland finished 98 not out after taking three scalps.
“So good to watch them. It was clinical and I feel for Bels a bit, not getting a hundred. She thoroughly deserved it.”

The other star of unbeaten Australia’s fifth victory of the tournament, which puts them back atop the league table, was leg-spinner Alana King, who grabbed 1-20 off 10 immaculate overs that thoroughly strangled England mid-innings, enabling them to be held to 9-244.

PLUS ......... the rugby league players are in England, plus the Ashes are coming up ........... plenty of sport to be had.

 

The Ashes are almost here.
Ian Botham & Gregh Chappell talk about the upcoming series.

I didn't realise how old, many of the Aussie players are.

Only one under 30 I heard,

 

Did anyone see that cheating, little Weasly **** Steve Smith comments yesterday about an ex England player, I think he is my most disliked sports person, even more than Mickey Droy, not that that twat was ever a sports person.
Still think Aussies will win the ashes but hope it’s not because of this little gromit
I feel better now

 

I like cricket but wouldn’t say I’m knowledgeable.

Saw it’s 50/1 for every test to make it to the fifth day. Is that a terrible bet?

 

Wouldn't put you off, but I would have thought it should be bigger odds. Check the weather forecasts.

 

Would have thought that was very unlikely but not impossible.

 

It's 14/1 against the first Test being a draw, which would suggest a 5th day is unlikely.
