Wow that's a soft dismissal.

I really think Ninja's right in how flat this pitch is once the new balls wear off. Not sure England are doing anything wrong.It has seemed that way for every team across the entire tournament
I think it's fair to say Plunkers, Stokes, Wood and Rashid haven't quite kept up the pressure Woakes and Archer built, but you also have to say there's a reason they're change bowlers, the ball/pitch can change and you must credit Smith and Carey who came in under immense pressure. Cricket's always been a game of phases, England have definitely still had the better of this game but the Aussies are keeping themselves in it as they're wanton to do (the bastards!).
There it is. Lovely.
Really soft dismissal...
England needed that. The game was getting away from them.
And now just similar to Pants innings...
Yes Rashid! Carey's been very good but looks like he can be tempted into poor choices by average bowling. Let's get Maxwell the same way.
I get the odd thing right. I hope I got the other wrong...
Cyaaaaaaaaaaa
wow
Stoinis come, Stoinis go.
Stoinis is just shit.
Stoinis is useless
Rashid! If the Carey wicket is a gimme that is fine bowling.
Stoinis is so shit 
Give over mate. Even before these two quick ones we were fine.
If ever there was a time for Maxwell to come good
Happy to be stand corrected but dunno why something looked a bit off with that LBW. Impact looked outside the off.
Same.
Rashid's pulled this bowling out of nowhere, he'd been rubbish until now.
Yes Rashid. My pep talked worked
Yeah a bit unlucky that when you've two umpires call.
Yeah, was umpires call for both but I agree. In real time you'd be pretty annoyed if you were given out for that.
Stoinisn't
Yeah. I'd be grumpy if I were given out there.
Good luck with that. He's incapable of batting 10 overs never mind 20+.
Aussies would still fancy themselves with something close to 250. Can never write them off.
Maxwell to score 20 of 10 then get out.
Bloody Smith.
Always delivers against England.
The bastard.
Always delivers against England.
The bastard.
I don't think anyone will, no matter what score they get.
Stoinis has the same look when walking to the crease and then walking back after a duck
Pitch is absolutely flat. If England keep their nerves then it shud be easy obviously though WC SF so different matter.
Clipping = bails removed = out
Not sure why people call that unlucky.
Not sure why people call that unlucky.
And that to against the Aussies.
If the umpire gives it not out, with a review it stays not out. Can see why some don’t like it
Btw, one thing regarding reviews for LBW.
I understand that you have to keep umpires call for hitting the stumps as it involves predicting the movement of the ball after impacting the pad, and it has uncertainty, but why is there a need to keep the 50% rule for pitching in-line and hitting in-line with the stumps? That doesn't involve any prediction as you know exactly where it has pitched and hit.
I get that you have to give the benefit of doubt to the umpire for close calls but why keep the 50% rule then? They should maybe increase it because 50% is a considerable portion of the ball.

Cause we don't trust the tech? I guess. That's my reason, anyway. When it's as close as clipping I ain't convinced.
In a run of the mill series we would chase 350 on this deck.
WC semi final pressure Aussies big hope here.
Slow bouncer milked for four followed by a lovely quickie outside off and a bouncer. I like to see Archer recovering after a poor delivery, lesser bowlers turn a poor ball into a poor over.
19.1 overs remaining. Score Predictor 248.
NEXT BALL - DOT BALL.
END OF THE OVER.
19 overs remaining. Score Predictor 251.
WTF?
