Really odd decision to open with Will Jacks.
Not making out of the group stage is a real possibility!!!! Who would have thought this. The NR against Scotland may be a big factor. If it happens I won’t hear the end of it in the office.A bit of reverse psychology urgently needed. England are going down here with barely a whimper.
England need to stop bowling first thinking they can chase any total as they have proved time and time that they can’t![]()
Could be worse. We could be as good as Pakistan. Another defeat.England need to stop bowling first thinking they can chase any total as they have proved time and time that they can’t![]()
I'll wake up when the test matches start again. 20-20 is clearly hugely popular and is a financial money spinner. Just not for me.Usually Eng v Aus would generate lots of posts here. Probably like me, I'm not really a 20-20 fan and less so of the Mott/Buttler approach to 20-20.

The India v Pak was awesome... i thought it was a done deal when i started watchiing... Then Bhumra turned up for this third over.. and the game changed extraordinarily...
Time for a beer match afterwards?Well it didn't take long to beat Oman ,skittles them for 47 and took just 19 deliveries to knock them off .
Must be tempting for Aus and Scot to "throw" the game on Sunday....
It is an interesting situation in the context of Hazlewwood's comments the other day. Anything less than an Australia win would certainly be met with questions. Ironically, even is Scotland win fully on merit, questions will be asked.
Hope it rains and there won’t be talk of a thrown match.Must be tempting for Aus and Scot to "throw" the game on Sunday....
I think you have to convert the scores to a full 20 over score to get the match NRR, not just use the actual overs used - but key be wrongNet Run Rate. Understand basics but please Mudball or Fundy if still around please clarify/ explain.
England at present NRR. 3.081.
V Australia England 165/6 Australia 201/7
NRR. -1.805. +1.805
England v. Oman
50/2 3.1 overs(3.16). 47 all out
NRR 15.82. NRR 2.35
Difference 15.82- 2.35 =13.47.
How do the 2 figures -1.805 and +13.47 equate to 3.081.
Realise that 3.16 is 3.16 recurring so there will be an error.
Over to you experts
