Watched the whole T20i vs England expecting a bit closer result than the 3-0 drubbing we gave Scotland .
Well it was closer 179 /10 vs 151/10 a 28 run win but after Head ( world's best batsman ) who got out on the 36th ball of the match for 59 and ably supported by Matt Short 41 it was only Inglis who knew how to bat with 37 whereas the rest looked terrible swiping across the line to balls on middle stump Still we scratched out 179 to be all out 179 with 3 balls to spare .
Thanks to our bowlers Hazo and Zampa it ended up more than enough .Abbott got 3 but he had one dreadful over full of wide and no balls
In the end the difference was Travis Head .No one in the England team could come close to matching him .
We need to improve our middle order batting as we can't depend on Head to do it every game
We had 3 batters do well Head ,Short and Inglis and
2 bowlers bowled well Hazelwood and Zampa
Green and David did take a couple of spectacular catches
Quite a few need to lift their game
I'm being a bit picky I guess as we have played 4 matches for 4 wins
Nice to support a team that wins a lot unlike my NRL team LOL

Great breakdown.
Still, it's the nature of this format that only some players stand out in any given game.
It's really hit and/or miss, frenetic stuff.

Yeah, @Stevec can do one for each game would nice mate. It’s as good as any masthead.
I am a little concerned our lead up to the test matches against India are limited over games.

Agree the 5 tests vs India is the main item on this coming "summer of cricket "
2 more T20I and 5 ODI matches .The 50 over stuff requires a little more balance of defence and attack . Back home its more white ball before the tests
Seems Cummings and Starc being rested from the white ball atm
India will be tough and I consider the Border / Gavaskar trophy the pinnacle being tests between the top 2 countries .Sorry Baz but your team is clearly third as SL just have shown

Yeah I’d prefer our test team to be playing shield at home than limited abroad in prep for, yes, the two best teams.
 
We are gunna lose
Why -rediculous bowling attack
How's this for a line up !!!
Hardie
Connolly
Short
Green
Stoinis
Only Zampa and Abbott would be regular bowlers
Needless to say its not working .Stoinis was particularly bad as he's failed twice with bat and ball .All told hopeless
Aust 6-193 thanks to Head ,Short ,JFM ,Inglis ,and Hardie
England were 3-90 after 10 overs score 0-73 in next 5 overs basically game over
Note our fielding poor also
 
Eng 7-194 ( 19 overs ) Australia 6 -193 (20 overs )
Matt Short got 5-22 off 3 overs but apart from Abbott who got 2 -30 the rest of bowling sub standard .Now 2 games Stoinis has failed at everything
Same batters succeeded Same batters didn't except JFM in for Marsh got 50 and Hardie good Cameo 20 off 9 at end but that bowling line up was never going to cut it
 
Breaking news !
We thrash poms in 1st Odi
They get 315 /10 against our third string bowling attack
Same 2 guys who won the world cup 10 months ago did it
How's this Travis Head 154 * ( his highest ever odi score ) + 2 wckts
Throw in Marnus 77* + 3 wickets + 4 catches
Who gets MOM both should !
We get 3-317 after 44 overs
Well done guys
No Cummings ,Starc ,Hazelwood ,Maxwell ,plus a few more
We are still No 1

That is some effort.
Great result.
 
Another very good win for the Aussies overnight.
Alex Carey blocked out the aggressive crowd to score 70 odd and save our innings before the quicks ran through them and smacked them for well below our score.

14 in a row ✅

 
Sorry been away golf weekend had to watch my recorded replay
14 in a row and Head only 29 /27 balls but no matter someone stands up
This time Capt Mitch Marsh and Alex Carey
Bowlers Starc and Hazo and Hardie and Zampa made our "medium total "
way more than enough
Our 270/10 trumps their 202/10
What I like about our cricket Mens and Women's in both red and white ball is the depth we seem to have
Only selectors have problems eg Josh Inglis is in top form with bat and gloves but apparently so is Alex Carey
Other future stars like Jake Frazer McGuire and Cooper Connelly and Xavier Bartlett and Spenser Johnson will be looking for an opening somewhere ?
We are in a good place and can't wait for the "top of the tree " 5 test series against India
 
Just noticed something that really irks me with the English cricket fan
Apart from the never ending booing of Carey and Smith
Starc chases a ball to boundary but just fails to get his hand on the ball before it hits the rope . Starc gets up and signals 4 back to umpires who still want to check with video replays and after this they signal 4 and boo Starc as if he was trying to get away with something .?
We win because we are better .Accept it !

Poms are a miserable breed of people. Have you ever been there?
Dour.
