The number of times Smith gets given not out and on review it’s umpire’s call is incredible. Maybe it’s just that he’s an irritating tosser so I remember the annoying bits more, but he seems to get those calls a lot. Git.

Kiwis had some good players back then too. Harris, McMillan, Astle, Fleming, Vettori. Chris Harris is one of my favorite players of all time. In T20 era he would have been a superstar. His death bowling was up there with the best.

Smith gone. Great throw for the run out. That could help!

And another, Woakes. Absolute class

If in doubt, get a run out. Lovely.

And another!

Now Starc. Excellent from woakes.

Would be amazed if England let this opportunity slip.

NINE down!!

Not batting these last 3 overs could be the difference between winning and losing. Australia may regret this.

And we had Hollioake, Fleming, Ealham, Austin...those weren’t the days.

To be fair, Ealham was a cracking player (yes, I am a Kent fan) and holder of the record for a while of best bowling spell in an ODI for England (and still the 4th best ever) of 5-15; and also the 15th best ever of 5-32.

Yeah definitely.

Aussie commentators desperate now!!

But for the middle overs, this would have been the worst Aussie collapse since Helen Daniels fell down the stairs in Neighbours.

Can't believe that's not getting more attention.
Brilliant

Be so typical for England to be 5 down for 50 or less.

Hmm, in the right conditions maybe! I remember him picking up a few when we beat the Aussies in the start of the 97 Ashes. Maybe he was the pick of that bunch I listed but we had loads of ‘bits and pieces’ (but harsh I know) types. Marcus Stoinis types.

10 balls to get to 270!

224 to win.

deano2727 · « **Reply #3473 on:** July 11, 2019, 02:09:21 pm »

Going to have a new winner, it would seem.

mc_red22 · « **Reply #3474 on:** July 11, 2019, 02:09:28 pm »

224 to win.

Let's not forget the game against Sri Lanka where we were all out for 212.

Most teams used to have atleast few of those type of players back in the day. Remember Shane Lee, Brett Lee's chubby brother. Played nearly 50 ODI's for one of the best ODI team of all time. There were also likes of Ian Harvey, Robin Singh.

Shane Lee. Not to be confused with Stephen Lee, similarly rotund snooker player.

I remember that, all lbws they were. Had his moments when the ball was swinging, and was a fairly decent batsman coming in at 7 or 8 in county cricket.

Just didn't have enough for international level though. If the ball wasn't swinging he was just gun barrel straight military medium which is decent enough at county level but doesn't do that well at the higher level of the game.

Nice enough chap too.
