The Ashes (NOT!) -England v Australia at the Ring of Fire, Dubai- 10/30 Saturday (N), 26th Match, Group 1

[Pup Clarke]

Cummins is just not a good T20 bowler.

 

[Howe_zat]

You've got it backwards imo. England's the team to beat. If we faced off they'd be favorites.

England will be in position as favourites if they close this out well, which means traditionally Pakistan would beat them before losing to Namibia or something.

I think it's a good shout for final at any rate, though I won't count my chickens on this game just yet

 

[Howe_zat]

Alright y'know what I'm going to go ahead and count them

 

[Howe_zat]

Effing tremendous performance this

 

[BoyBrumby]

Jos in fair nick, eh?

62 from 28 and counting.

 

[The_roc]

I see Malan has come into bat. Did he field earlier, as I don't recall him getting a mention.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

This is a thrashing

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Following by radio as I can't watch but it does seem to have gone OK.

 

[Howe_zat]

They've just turned this off in the pub in favour of having football on more screens (football was already on 6 other screens)

 

[Kirkut]

Well, I was too harsh on my bowling attack probably. The dew factor is for real.

Australian bar staff?

Has this innings lasted long enough for the dew to have an impact?

 

[White Ball]

This looks like as far as night matches go it’s win the toss, bowl first win the match

 

[wpdavid]

Decent afternoon's work what with Palace winning at The Etihad, and now this. Buttler's innings sounds astonishingly good.

 

[SteveNZ]

Wow, what an absolute utter pounding. I have to admit to a massive sense of enjoyment when a Justin Langer coached side gets wiped off the park.

Fella they won with 50 balls and 8 wickets spare. I think blaming the toss here is a bit of a stretch.

The ball wasn’t coming on in the first innings it came through perfectly in the second.

Let's hope India won’t be toss and field tomorrow or it will probably be good night

 

[The_roc]

The way they played today the Aussies would have struggled to defend 225 let alone 125

Yes dew has been a factor but boy is it getting overblown. Might matter in close games but its not what's making sides bowl completely flat and getting blown out.

Just so ya know, this is how it's done:
