    KP sharing my frustration with Morgan’s captaincy calling for catchers. Exasperated that he’s just letting things drift towards an Aussie win.

    Wicket for Rachid , too little too late you’d think.

    They were well in command anyway, England didn't make enough, and the tail started at 7, or 6 if you like Moeen Ali as much as I do.

    Yes England didn’t make enough so England needed to try to establish a foothold by going aggressively at Australia, dying with their boots on... die trying, don’t lie down for the opposition...NOW he gives Rachid a slip, field comes in, some pressure on the opposition and a wicket

    That looked fast and it was, 91 mph.... Warner hardly saw that.

    Archer bowled Warner...this is a bit like the England innings but in this case the mini collapse is probably too late.

    4 down now, but only 34 away, Maxwell has always struck me as completely brainless, as a person and a cricketer. Lots of batting left, Carey is a clever player, so I think he will see it through.

    Another prediction gone up in smoke, getting closer than expected, but pie chucker Curran has to bowl, and he donates 8 runs every over

    True, different era, though. Doesn’t mean his opinions are irrelevant though, Morgan is driving me nuts too, he’s odd.

    He's usually good though, so I'm surprised. I'm watching the cpl all the time, watch that if you really want to see some strange cricket

    Is the CPL any good, I've seen it listed but haven't had the chance to watch?

    Brilliant from Curran, 85mph, didn’t know Curran had that in him. Followed by a short and wide gimme, hit for 6 WHY ? Stupid.

    Not really to be honest, horrendously low scoring, Trinidad winning all their matches, but a lot of that is due to a low standard, and brainless decesion making. There have been about 10 games where the batting side made between 90 and 110, and funny enough, last Sunday, Barbados who are on a miserable run, lost by 3 runs, chasing 93. Shai Hope looks to have forgotten how to bat.

    That was a capitulation from Australia.

    Aussies really chucked that away after a 98 run opening stand, but I thought 162 was 20 short, so my opinion is more wrong than right.

    Good win by England, Australia threw it away but credit to the English bowlers. The match will bring Australia on and they'll be happy enough that they pushed England.
