I wasn't planning on watching this but I found myself awake just after 3am so I thought I'd tune in for a few hours before work. I'm sure I'll regret is when I fall asleep at my desk this afternoon.
Well that didn't go well for England with 59/6 off the last 10 overs
Was hoping for something around 350 and we've limped to just over 300 with only 5 boundaries in the last 10 overs
Good bowling from Australia tho'
330 had to be the absolute minimum today given where we were after 30 overs and 40 overs
very poor batting in the last 10 overs
bopara must be the worst player ever to play more than 100 games for his country , he has the odd cameo and everyone starts going on about his potential but he just continually fails to deliver on anywhere near a consistent enough basis
Congratulations to Ian Bell-fantastic way to become Englands highest One Day International run scorer. Pity it couldn't have resulted in a win-however close it was.
Christ what a incredible finish to big bash that was! Brett Lee 2 wickets in 2 balls..........had the final ball of his career to get a super over and the sixers missed a run out opportunity and scorchers win it again

Hope you're still awake:)
England going great guns
244/2 off 40. Can we get 100+ off the last 10 ?
From 93/5 after 20 overs to 360/5 !
Ronchi 170* and Elliott 104*

I think the Aussie bowlers have really mastered the pace variation at the end of an innings
Our bowlers need to learn this skill as well
(off to work now and will watch the highlights later)
Good news is that we've got 4 out and they've gone into the game 1 batsmen light.......
yeah that's our only hope atm that they have too many bits and pieces players in the middle order
really needed the extra 30 runs that we looked like getting
Not tough...Wrong decision.
I don't see why it has to go to someone on the winning side.
Andre Russell sees the West Indies home by 1 wicket
The last wicket added 27 in 8 balls courtesy of some big hitting
Good to see the windies winning one
England's matches will be on ITV, others will be on ITV4.

I was sorry ITV lost the rights to the IPL - it was the first live free-to-air cricket for years. Now it's back to highlights only...
runner was out by miles as well
it was just insane tbh
they scored 207 runs from the last 14 overs
average 50 over score on this ground batting first was 269 as well , so not like its a high scoring ground
Roy and Vince particularly impressive. Despite being forenames rather than surnames,
There was no way he should have been banned for as long as he was. Wish him luck on his return.
Anybody here like the new look of cricinfo? I hate it.
of course he should have been banned for as long as he was , he accepted money for cheating , he is lucky to get his ban shortened
I do agree about cricinfo tho , its horrible and looks cluttered
Amir was only 18 when he got caught up in this . Should never have been sent to prison in what was a set up by journalists. Good to see him back.
I'm sure we will get used to the new cricinfo
They are looking at all cases/stings by the fake sheikh.
But in this case a ball was indeed bowled as predicted and monies exchanged. So the conviction may stand. Is Butt appealing his ban as well
