But there is a reserve day, it's Monday.

You couldn't make it Saturday as our reserve day for the semi final was today. Not exactly quick to get from Adelaide to Melbourne.

 

[Tony Towner]

You don't have to predict it miles ahead, just put in potential reserve days at the start.

We are playing Australia on Thursday in Adelaide in a 50 over game. No tournament has ever had more than 1 reserve day baked in, it's not practical. Melbourne in mid November isn't normally like this, if it's off it's just bad luck

Fucking stupid sport

 

[Trips]

I've never been a massive fan of Curran, but fair play to him he's been excellent all tournament

 

[Wolftone]

Good start England. Pakistan 29-1 after 5 overs. Excellent from Curran.

Babars out

Did you get a text?

 

[PuntsWolf]

Looks a tough surface. And outfield is slow

 

[jd1981]

Pretty even so far 150 will be competitive I think

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

No guarantees that Pakistan get to 150

 

[Sniffer]

Cracking effort in the field by England.

Excellent bowling performance and Rashid and Curran were outstanding.

 

[BillyDee]

That's a great first half, just have to hope the rain stays off now...

 

[jd1981]

138 to win

 

[jd1981]

Just get ahead on DWL method

 

[Wolftone]

Excellent by England, not the smartest batting from Pakistan though.
Keep trying to smash it high on a wicket with good bounce that is two-paced. Particularly with the big MCG boundaries.

 

[Sniffer]

Brainless from Salt

 

[Wolftone]

Stupid shot from Salt. 32-2

 

[Wolftone]

Umar Gull

 

[BillyDee]

That's just an insane shot from Jos!

 

[Sniffer]

How long can the white ball carry on swinging like this?

 

[jd1981]

Is it 5 overs then we have a game?
