****Official Australia in England 2020 (Non-Ashes)*****

Zampa's hairstyle is atrocious. Decent limited overs spinner though.

Classic Zampa dismissal, nicely done

long live the mullet

Why do the commentators on sky keep on about why was Ali not picked as the ball is spinning.Have they looked at his bowling in the last 4 one dayers 0 wickets for134 runs.should have been replaced ages ago.I am afraid Root started this collapse with run out and becoming strokeless.Without stokes England no where Near as good as they think they are

 

[Daemon]

Woakes has been pretty much the only bat to look relatively comfortable so far

 

[Daemon]

oops

Finch and Warner will probably chase this down inside 20 overs.

 

[vcs]

Good partnership

Rashid taking Sir Pat apart here

 

[trundler]

Cummins isn't very good at the death

 

[Jay London]

Good to see Adil finding some form with the bat. Pity he's never really been an all rounder at limited overs level.

 

[trundler]

Decent total.

 

[honestbharani]

Hoping for a good match. But get the feeling Aussies will knock this off easy. Unless they are like 100/5, I don't see how Australia will lose this one.

Don't think there are many players with as many first class tons as Rashid that look as poor at the higher level.

He seemed to look pretty poor in limited overs playing for Yorkshire - which I didn't really understand as he scored fairly quickly in red ball cricket.

 

[hazsa19]

Something to bowl at I guess. Just think our bowling is so much stronger with Wood.

But those hundreds were all in the county championship and Rashid doesn't play Tests for England. His record as a batsmen is barely any different in ODIs than in List A cricket.

ODIs: 633 runs @ 18.61 with a high score of 69. No centuries and 1 fifty.
List A: 1,754 runs @ 19.06 with a high score of 71. No centuries and 2 fifties.

List A: 1,719 runs @ 18.68 with a high score of 71. No centuries and 2 fifties.

In tests he didn't look very good though either.

 

[theegyptian]

Sam Curran batting 8 and not opening the bowling ... looks kind of redundant in the side.

He provides left arm variation. They obviously decided to go with him over Ali, who now averages ~51 with the ball in odis and ~58 vs right handers.
