We all know Australia will win this either way. I can't decide if I'd rather they batted us out of sight and we never get close, or if we lose by the odd run chasing a measly total. Of course being England, they'll probably do it the third way and be bowled out for less than 100.
Its only the pressure of a WC semi final chase that can really stop us getting a target that is well below par.Woakes and Archers opening spell was as good as any I've ever seen from an England ODI side. The early wickets made Australia bat cautiously on a good pitch. I think the pitches true nature was shown in the Smith/Carey partnership.

Well done New Zealand.What do people find so dislikeable about the Indian team ?Jadeja is a joy to watch in all aspects of the game. I'll concede that Kohli is arrogant but he's regarded as one of the hardest workers in the sport (this was discussed on TMS yesterday)

Be interesting to see how England approach this now. It's a funny score to chase that's neither truly shit or overly massive. Hopefully Roy gets an easy ton, and we wrap it up in 40 overs.
