King over Brown worked well last match. Hopefully we go in unchanged.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Hopefully we bat first at least

I’d be happy with a winning toss. Apologies if that sounded inappropriate.

We’ve won a few in the women’s lol

 

[BLUEALLTHRU]

A little off beat but I saw the Suburban footballer on Sunday , whilst waiting for this terrific match.



If he’s in your local check him out.

 

[BLUEALLTHRU]

So Warner plays, I’m not happy.

Let’s go!

Don't think she's playing

Well he can’t go worse can he?

That’s a positive right?

 

[BLUEALLTHRU]

Gough you set me up beautifully, well played Sir.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Gah we won the toss and sent England in

 

[Moonwatcher]

Will be interesting to see how England bat. They are like the men that once you set them a target they are hard to stop. What will they do setting a target.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Very good catch

Thought you'd be happy

 

[Moonwatcher]

Have commentators suggested a par score.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Beaumont for 4. That's huge.

 

[Moonwatcher]

And great that Schutter is among the wickets already

 

[Substance]

What a start

 

[010203]

Megan Schutt's inswinger is a thing of beauty.

This is the Australia I remember

It’ll be interesting to see how England go in this match - they’ve been extremely positive throughout the T20s & 2 ODIs to date, but with the Ashes now confirmed as being retained by Australia, has it taken some of the air out of their sails?

We can see they’re already 2 wickets down early in the match, including Beaumont who has been extremely strong for them at the top of the order - will they show the same fight for the rest of this match as the previous few or will we see a dominant Australian performance for the remaining 90 odd overs

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Thought you'd be happy

Be happier if we won a toss tomorrow

 

[Moonwatcher]

Partnership has started well.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Australia haven't lost an ODI series since 2013. A lot to play for.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Did she say qualification for WC for the winner?
