Team news: england gamble to play back to back match for Archer in a game four at lords. He rewarded with two wicket in handsome victory. Do they risk him again..that will be the big ???
pott and carse with 7 wkt each in the series will lead anyways. From that points of view, contest been even and they have some decent options available in form of stone, topley,Mahmood and jhon Turner.
harry Brooks blistering return to form with century and handsome fifty will bloster england to continue attack..but form of Salt will be a worrying factor at the top:
Possible 11:Salt,Duckett,jacks,brook, Livingston,Smith,Bethell,carse,Pott,rashid,Archer/stone.
Australia have squandered 2-0 lead in england again. Perhaps they are guilty of making too much changes in the playing 11,they have used 15 players in 4 matches..may be they are more interested in testing their bench strength.
trying to predict what 11 they are going to try in the decider is quite difficult .. because they are not confident about what their best eleven..like short didn’t bat at all in first odi and in second he open the inng..and then dropped from the next one..Josh come for injured green…in london.they have to keep going with starc an Hazelwood…
Possible11: Head,Marsh,Smith, Labuchagne/hardie, Maxwell,Inglish,Carey,starc,zampa, Hazelwood,Abbott.
Pitch report: There have been only four ODI played at Bristol since the start of 2019. It has been a difficult wicket to judge because of mismatches. Afghanistan made 207 against Australia in 2019, Sri Lanka 166 against England in 2021 and last year England made 280 for four of 31 before rain versus Ireland. The odd one out was Pakistan failing to defend 358 against England in 2019.In the domestic one-day cup, when rain has not reduced contests, there were first-innings scores of 267-262-177-267-454 in the last two years.
if the sun is out track get flat..good for batting but with the rain forecast and cloudy conditions its very different.complete match market also come in contention…
Pridiction--Momentum has swung decisively in England’s favour. Of course, many will argue there isn’t such a thing in pro sport but it is undeniable that Australia suddenly don’t look so confident. Conceding a massive 312 off just 39 overs at hq and then being rolled for 126 was not on the formguide.
Australia have allowed England to force their way back into the contest. Are they complacent? Maybe. That sort of fear puts one off taking prices at odds-on.
Man for man, though, they are supposed to be far better than a hotch-potch England team. If skies are grey and moisture is in the air, having the courage to bowl first if the toss goes their way suggests they will be bang at it. They should steal it if they stay on the pitch.
The team that chase have greater chances of victory.
nice
