Bowled the poor things out for 90 and won by 309 runs lol

Run rate will do well for us.

Zampa is on a hat trick going into the next match

Hypocritical Bairstow and the poms are still sooking about this .

--------------------------

The Telegraph has released some quotes from Jonny Bairstow on *that* controversial stumping at Lord’s this summer.

Says Jonny who has indeed done it at County level

[Andyy]

An extraordinary whinge.

Dunno how you can write a book about something so pissant.

Rent free mate. Rent free...

What he did at county level was completely different

Can’t be compared

I will kick off with this. Broad and Bairstow and that flog Piers Morgan embarrassed themselves countless times through the Ashes. From sooking about the weather, to whether catches were out or not, and obviously this stumping. Piers forgets he celebrates the weather in prior series in England when the rain saved England. Broad conveniently forgets smashing it to slip and not walking in that same series in 2013.

And then there is Bairstow. Probably the biggest flog of them all.

The big difference is obvious. He had marked his ground prior to leaving his crease. The other was more a continuation of the play.
There is no doubt Carey's was a far worse act. Both were out, both weren't in the spirit, both were poo.

However it's plainly obvious which was worse. Funny it happened to them, funny it was Bairstow.

Eff the Poms.

That century by Maxwell was insane  . A World Cup record off just 40 balls. He only came into bat in the 39th over as well.

Aussies 8/399 by the way. Warner also got another century.

Was amazing to watch. I looked up what the fastest ODI century ever recorded was and it comes in 4th. What’s even crazier is that AB De Villiers scored 149 off 44 balls which included 16x6s and 9x4s. I must have been living under a rock at the time to somehow miss that.

2015 vs the Windies. I didn't see it at the time either but here it is on youtube. A full on six fest. He got to 100 off 31 balls as a comparison to Maxwell.

Waits for Piers Morgan to do his nut again on twitter/X  .

Poms lost again after making just 156 lol. They've got India next as well before facing us.

We got 15 runs off one legal delivery: 1+nb, 6+nb, 6. Thanks, Kiwis  .

Head and Warner going nuts. 0/133 off just the first 12 overs  .

[one-eyed]

Aussies 388 all out (49.2 overs).

Head   109
Warner 81
Maxwell 41
Inglis   38
Cummins 37
Marsh  36
 

[Diocletian]

Pitch a road, postage stamp ground - about 50 runs short and  if the sheep shaggers get up you can blame Marsh's disgrace of an innings...
