Yep,.as expected. Bowling first

 

[WsWolf]

Better start to our bowling than against Sri Lanka.

Hopefully we can punish India's outdated strategy of setting a target and take advantage of the U13 square boundaries

We really let them off the hook. Looked like we'd hold em under 150 after about 14 overs.

 

[Tony Towner]

Not sure I'd say that their entire strategy is to keep wickets in hand and go ballistic in the last 5 overs.

Pretty old school. Hopefully we punish that.

Interesting to read the highest run chase in a T20 at this ground is 164.

 

[Sniffer]

Absolutely brilliant!

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Now THAT is a thrashing

 

[Kenny]

Well, that was a bit easy

 

[jd1981]

That’s the equivalent of going away from home to the most arrogant team you know and stuffing them 0-6.

 

[Tony Towner]

Didn't get to see our innings, but if you only ever look to set a par score in the way that they do then that becomes your best case, such an outdated way of playing. Glad they got spanked for it.

 

[Dinowolf]

India with a par first innings total of 168 thanks to a hefty batting performance at the end by Hardick Pandya.

Englands openers knocked them off with 4 overs to spare. Absolute thrashing by England that will take India a long time to recover from.

On to the final on Sunday against Pakistan.

They actually don’t have that many players in their side that a brilliant T20 specialist.
Biz are considering how much the IPL dominates.
Bit of a mish mash of good 50 over players and good T20 players.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

The final is on Channel 4 as well as Sky.

Move it to Brisbane Perth or Adelaide

 

[BillyDee]

Just don't do a boundaries countback this time...

 

[jd1981]

What’s the stadium in Melbourne that has a roof on? Pretty sure that’s hosted T20 beforehand
