🏏 Fiddling with balls

Bloody hell.

Stanlake to Roy, OUT , straight through him! Stanlake shivers Roy’s timbers with his second ball, a ferocious nip-backer, 90mph and maybe flicked the inside edge before smacking off stump right in the eye! That’s a corking nut first up, Australia have the early lift with the ball they needed

JJ Roy b Stanlake 0 (2b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

‘JJ Roy’ should have been the singer in a hair metal band that would have made it big on the LA scene, if it hadn’t been for his lyrical fascination with water sports.

Bugger again.

Neser to Hales, OUT , full and straight, hit on the back pad… given! Dharmesena’s finger goes up, Neser has his maiden international wicket! No review from Hales, sounded like there might have been an inside edge, but it was otherwise pretty adjacent, stuck on the crease and playing across the line

AD Hales lbw b Neser 5 (10b 1x4 0x6) SR: 50.00

Off home now, no more updated from me for a while, I expect England to be bowled out by the time I get home

1st ODI (D/N), Australia tour of England at London, Jun 13 2018

  • England
    24/2 * (4.5/50 ov, target 215)

England require another 191 runs with 8 wickets and 45.1 overs remaining

We’re making a bit of a meal of things here. Good job we bat so deep…

I barely recognise anyone in the Aussie line-up anymore. It’s all thin-faced young men, and oddly vaginal beards.

WICKET

Moeen c sub (Short) b Neser 17 (Eng 197-7)

is it Scotland all over again?

Yep could happen…we need 8 to win off just 54 balls. Getting tense.

I get the impression you might never have watched England play cricket before…

England win by 3 wickets

I am wondering why the tame Aussie we have onboard got upset when I gave him a sheet of Emery paper and told him his team would need it before the next one day international :lou_is_a_flirt:

Batting in the 2nd one. Morgan did his back in about an hour before the start. Getting out of a chair.

Buttler skips and Billings plays. Big Billy Stanlake also crocked for them.

40-0 off 6. Bairstow smacking the Richardsons (not the 60’ Gangland family, though obviously criminals)
