Wtf is happening here 
Their lower order are nowhere near good enough for them to be collapsing like this and get away with it. All on these 2 now!
Good start for Australia. Not sure it was wise for Jacks to open the bowling.
Englands bowling has been really subpar since the odi world cup.
A 50 years old Warner taking the English bowling to the cleaners.
Saffers 54/4 12 overs
Aussies 55/0 3.5 overs
Aussies 55/0 3.5 overs
England have picked right back up from the ODI World cup last year.
Terrible.
Terrible.
@Ish Never a doubt. 
Saffers won the game at least. This wicket looks the flattest we've seen in this tournament so far.
Yikes@Ish Never a doubt.
indeed. At 3 down, I was fearing the worst, but luckily Stubbs and Miller steadied the ship and fortunately the target was just over a hundred.England aren't getting close to this. Typical batting collapse incoming.
Australia just got to double hundred according to the commentator.
Enough talent to chase this but you get the feeling something isn't quite right in the England camp. Could be the ODI world cup repeated
Wish they would feck Atherton off sick of him these days.
I realised from the Scotland game. We're lucky that was called off the way that was going.
Are there many players in the 11 that played the odi World Cup? I think 6?
Great game so far, I'll tune in now
Not loads I mean more the Captain and coach combo. It doesn't inspire confidence and I think we look a little leggy in the field.
feck sake buttler
England will win this
Would have brought Brook in before bairstow
Eugh another wicket
I understand why they got another chance after the ODI World Cup debacle because we did win the last T20 World Cup to be fair but I just don't think this Buttler and Matthew Mott partnership is very good.
We look so sloppy all the time.

I made a typo, I meant Australia will win this.
Appears to be the case.
Can still qualify after losing this but it's not particularly enticing.
We need to scramble 170 here for NRR.
The middle order is horrendous imo.
I don't have any real issue with the team. I'd play Topley over Jordan but that's about it. Barstow is a little lucky but it's hardly keeping a no brainer' selection out.
Bairstow in particular should be absolutely nowhere near this World Cup.
Since his leg break he's been terrible, must have been a really bad break because he's never looked right since. Looks like he can't move very well.
Yes it'd him that's thr biggest issue I think
Well, that was a huge anticlimax.
Was a surprisingly dull game.
Aussies predictably looking impressive in a WC tournament once again
Brooks Bairstow and Livingstone got something like 40 balls between them and hit 3 boundaries.
Very very poor.
I think England will probably just about sneak through the group but we've no chance of much more than that.

Pitch was a pudding by then. They got 30 over par. Game was lost with the ball.
Yeah we were never chasing 200 and i don't think we batted well but the bowling was worse.
We look badly undercooked just as we did in the ODI world cup. I know Morgan is a very tough act to follow but we just look less organised and almost less fit now. Real sloppiness to everything we do. Unlike the last tournament though I sort of expected this so it's not as big a surprise.
England are just not skilled enough for these conditions but I just can’t wait for this coach & captain pairing to end. Unfortunately there is no other captain but Mott needs to be sacked tomorrow. There is no shame in losing to a good team but the number of schoolboy tactical errors this team makes is just unreal and I have no idea what Matthew Mott actually does
Well they just don’t like to move on from players. How is Bairstow playing in this team at 4 ? In these conditions he adds absolutely nothing at 4 and is shocking in the field too. Butler also is very poor with his captaincy and is just always rattled easily
