Commentators saying its a 300+ pitch, sorry I just don't see it, as I don't think batting looks that straight forward today. This 300 par for any ODI nowadays just seems to be hyperbole.

Those who have actually scored have scored at more than a run a ball so I think it's a fair thing to speculate on.

Could do with Fordy showing up here.

Brainless. Completely the same as Morgan.

Didn't look comfortable at all there Buttler throughout his innings.

voodoo ray · « **Reply #2726 on:** September 16, 2020, 02:28:10 pm »

Can't see us either batting 50 overs or making a competitive score here now. Forecast is about as bleak as the weather usually is at that ground.

Welshred · « **Reply #2727 on:** September 16, 2020, 02:30:15 pm »

Well at least it wasn't as ridiculous as our review in the T20s...

Yup. This innings is as dead as a dodo.

Nothing will ever beat the Aussie review in last year's Leeds Test match.

Yosser0_0 · « **Reply #2730 on:** September 16, 2020, 02:34:06 pm »

260 I reckon, anything 275 up is competitive I think.

Elzar · « **Reply #2731 on:** September 16, 2020, 02:41:38 pm »

230ish would be good enough for me here....

Aye, I think there's some uneven bounce, be interesting to see what happens to the pitch later.

Maxwell to win it for the Aussie's?

only just noticed that maaaaaarsh has got silly shaved bits on the sides of his head as well.

Wow - how did that not smash a car windscreen? It was only stopped by the training nets beyond the car park!!

That was worth a twelve!!

the end of a decent partnership as billings is gone to mullet boy.

Fiasco · « **Reply #2740 on:** September 16, 2020, 03:49:57 pm »

Great knock from Bairstow. Billings getting out just stops the momentum and he didn't need to play that shot, Zampa only has a couple of overs left.

voodoo ray · « **Reply #2741 on:** September 16, 2020, 04:00:21 pm »

and the ginge is gone. good knock.

Joseph-Immanuel Queen · « **Reply #2742 on:** September 16, 2020, 04:07:50 pm »

What do we think is a good score? Seems like an absolute bunsen, so I'd be happy with 270 - 280.

Great knock. I have always liked Bairstow. he has fight in him

El Lobo · « **Reply #2744 on:** September 16, 2020, 04:11:15 pm »

Think we’d have a good chance at 260

I think we would be delighted with that

Can't beat a good yorker.

gerrardisgod · « **Reply #2747 on:** September 16, 2020, 04:43:07 pm »

That’s a cracking shot from Woakes.

Qston · « **Reply #2748 on:** September 16, 2020, 04:43:14 pm »

That's a decent total and fair play for coming back so strongly after a shocking start. Bairstow was great.

mentalgellar · « **Reply #2749 on:** September 16, 2020, 04:47:07 pm »

I think that's a great total after losing 2 wickets in the first two balls. Brilliant knocks from Bairstow and Woakes at the end.

dudleyred · « **Reply #2750 on:** September 16, 2020, 04:47:14 pm »

Favourites after being 0/2

Great effort

Cricket threads used to be great on here but lately they're about on as embarrassing as the half time or full time threads on the main board when we lose. Would have thought some of you would have learnt not to comment from Sunday.

Yosser0_0 · « **Reply #2753 on:** September 16, 2020, 04:47:22 pm »

That's a great total. I enjoyed the Woakes innings, I was at Lords a few years ago when he scored a proper test match century - he knows how to bat.

Crosby Nick · « **Reply #2754 on:** September 16, 2020, 04:47:54 pm »

Well done Bairstow, Billings and Brumtham. Competitive score, will take some chasing under the lights.

My comment was very much tongue-in-cheek because of that exact reason. I actually thought Voodoo's was the same.

Yeah I can't see them chasing that down, they seem to have a longer tail than England.

That's one for Welshred to quote later!
