Aussies need more reliable batters when after a good partnership is broken they seam to lose too many wickets after that and collapse. Still con not play spin well been an issue for years.

Yes. Just look at how they are embarrassed by spinners in the BBL slogathon.

England started well. Two wickets from their first two balls. No, wait - they were batting. Starc missed his hat trick. England 2/9 in the third over - I'm not sure they can bat out 10 overs from Starc - they have no idea against him, at the moment.

No, I spoke too soon. These stupid balls they use in England swing for the first over from each end and then any old dud (eg, Bairstow) can just shut his eyes and slog through the line on these very easy-paced pitches.

Maxwell almost throws the game away, just short of carrying Australia to victory. From 5/73, needing 303 for victory, he and Carey were each past their 100 and Maxy decided to try to hit Rashid out of the ground two balls in a row, when it was actually unnecessary. First time he miscued but survived. The second time, he hit the same shot but got caught.

Australia really, really need to get The Middle Order back into the team.

10 from 6 required in the lat over, Starc to face his first ball and Cummins with him. Starc takes the first ball down the ground for 6. And the second ball for a single. 3 required from 4 balls. Cummins on strike.

Cummins gets a single. 2 needed from 3 (1 for super over).

Starc wins it with a 4.

Australia win the series.

That's England's first home one-day series loss for 5 years.

Highest run chase ever recorded at Old Trafford.

Maxwell 108 from 90. Carey 106 from 114. Starc 11 from 3.

Record-breaking partnership of 212 for the 6th wicket for Australia against England (beating the record set in the first game).

That was a towering effort from Maxwell and Carey. Australia looked to have no chance at 5/73 chasing over 300, especially given that they couldn't chase down 232, having reached 2/144, in the previous game.

Maxy is named Player of the Match (7 x 6s and 4 x 4s in his 108) and Player of the Series, as he should have been.

It's very interesting that more people don't want to post about the Australians having a magnificent series victory, driven by a 200 run partnership and the highest successful run-chase of all-time at Old Trafford.

There are about 6 human readers total in Nick's Sports Bar, so how many posters can you expect on any one topic at any one time?

There's plenty of interest when Smith only makes 95.

What more can we say about FTB Smith?

Langer claimed it was amazing because "he's never dismissed in the nets".

Then someone asked Trent Copeland, who replied that no batsmen ever get out in the nets unless they are experimenting.

And now FTB gets felled in the nets, no doubt by a harmless short ball that exposed his defective technique... And here we are, with him still recovering.

https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2020/sep/18/anatomy-of-a-masterpiece-glenn-maxwell-innings-leaves-cricket-craving-more

Just an extract:

Quote:
A Glenn Maxwell innings creates more joy than an equal number of runs from anyone else. Science cannot quantify this but the human heart knows. There is the predictability: you know he is going to launch soon. There is the unpredictability: you do not know how. There is the unorthodoxy, the mad inventiveness: the reverse hook, the switch hit, the lookaway cut shot over backward point. He plays the game as flamboyant self-expression, having trained flamboyancy into a refined skill.

The consequence is that he leaves you wanting more. His presence alone promises a world of entertainment that probability cuts short. His style means he is employed to close innings more than open them, in flurries that do not get the scope to become storms. After several years of bouncing around within Australia’s one-day team, he is now back to batting at No 7, the job late in the day that means fireworks or fizzle.

This was the context for Maxwell’s efforts on Thursday morning Australian time, when early risers were rolling out of bed, while evening viewers in England had their attention on Old Trafford in Manchester for the decider of a series that had been packed with plot twists.

With Australia collapsing at the top of the order, Maxwell had the canvas for something ambitious. He has won matches off his own bat before, but this was bigger in scope. He walked in to join Alex Carey at 73 for five. No team has ever recovered from a score that bad to chase over 300. Australia needed 303.

What followed was not just a marvel because they produced that comeback. It was the way that Maxwell marshalled the chase. The composure, the strategy. His customary flair, but channelled into efficiency and effectiveness. This was Maxwell’s masterpiece.

It's hard not to think how much better that would have been if it had been the WC SF instead of the embarrassing performance they produced then.
