That's pretty much based on the leading run makers and wicket takers. On that basis it's hard to argue against.

Apparently responsible for all their defeats for 9 years. Makes the NSC ref threads look like a love in.

I remember us posting 500 odd in Adelaide in 2006 and Australia being 65-3 in response. We're back ! Oh...

You were at the final where Brearley and Boycott weren't told it wasn't a Test match ?

They haven't lost yet.

I swear we had a player of the same name at Sussex. Utterly strange what a contrast this Travis Head is to him. I think our one was sent back to club cricket or some minor counties backwater.

Must be hard for the fielders behind, as well as the Umps, to pick up a tickle off the bat in that noise.

Powerplay is the crucial thing, me thinks. Aussies have been outstanding in that. But the Indians have the best attack though.

Poll added to see who folk favour.

Interestingly, I did read an article about the percentage of correct international umpire calls over the years and I think Gough was top a while back. Ian Gould was pretty high too.

Strangely, England fans online seem to be pretty philosophical about things.

Indians online are something else. I remember reading one who said that in the 2019 World Cup they had been deliberately scheduled on days when it was going to rain.

I can't get my head round it. The line up for today's match is still class, despite the performances. That is a team capable of winning the trophy- when in the right groove.

You'd judge these things in context, but this innings seems to cover all avenues. Viv Richards 189 at Old Trafford in 1984 was the previous best for me.
