Properly strangled here by some excellent bowling and questionable shot selection, no pressure on Bairstow and Billings!
Think we’ll end up about 120 short....

A very pre 2016 batting performance by England so far

Moeen's innings is going to be amazing.

Gonna be an exciting end if Bairstow continues to the end

Moeen's innings is going to be amazing.

Amazingly good or bad?
I’ve never known a cricketer like him especially with the bat, world 11 one day Croydon 11 the next

As someone who used to play for Purley 4's I'm deeply offended!

Fucks sakes

Come on Moeen

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

Come on Moeen

Oh I swear
at this moment
you mean everything

How we doing. Got the grandchildren, Garfield for the umpteenth time.

England done well to make a game of this after some great bowling/ terrible batting early on

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

Great effort by Billings. To get to within 13 runs after that start was OK but overall a poor batting effort.

Australia won by 19 runs....

Billings batted well but never really tried to win the game until it was too late. Tried to hit the last ball for 6 for some strange reason when we needed 20, which was absolutely pointless! Shame he hadn’t tried to do that a bit earlier!

Aha you took off the openers 6 runs lol

 

[UncleBuck]

Lost that in the first ten overs, can’t remember the last time we were going at under 2.5 per over!

Completely agree, knew he’d not had a good run but Christ didn’t realise it was that bad.

Amazing how a beautiful straight six or an exquisite flick over mid wicket can paper over so many cracks

 

[Arnoldtoo]

Well today he's been dropped.

 

[southlondonyiddo]

'tactical' according to Morgan!
