We're gonna win 5-4! Well done, great ODI side we have at the moment. Also nice to see a big Villa flag in the front row of the SCG.

Another good win.  Didn't really fancy our chances when they were needing less than a hundred with something like 13 overs left but we closed it out well.  Good to see Chris Woakes coming back into form with both bat and ball.

I really hope we beat them 5-0. It won't make up for the loss of the Ashes but the Crims will hate losing like that to us.

The best win of the 3 so far. It's clear that we are an exceptional side when chasing a target (very few scores out of reach), so it's great to see us defending an ok looking score.

Watched the highlights last night and saw that Plunkett pulled up with what looked like a muscle injury, which makes the fact that we were able to restrict the Aussies even more impressive.  I'm guessing Ball, Willey and Curran will be in the running to replace him if he is not fit in time for the next one (i'd go for Ball if fit).

With the series now secured, is it maybe time to have a look at a couple of options (I suppose Malan and Billings could do with a knock at some point) or go all out for a whitewash?

agreed, I reckon in time 375/400 will not be out of reach for this England team.

They have already been beyond 400 and have the world record ODI score. Or are you talking about games against the shackle rattlers?

I watched some of the Under 19's World Cup last night. I thought  we did well to bowl the Crims of for 127 and then went to bed thinking we'd comfortably knock those runs off.

No we were all out for 96 with a leggie called Liam Pope taking 8-35. So even our future batsmen can't pick a googly!

I've been watching some of these games as well.

Once Aus got Brook and Jacks out for a combined total of one run, they would have been favourites

I don't know if England U19s vs Aus U19s was played on a minefield, but what the hell?

The pitch seemed ok from what I saw. The ground did seem to be located on the apron of an airfield which looked very strange.

Can we get to double figures?
