[Cricket] T20 Aus v Eng - Optus Stadium, Perth k/o 0910

[Is it PotG?]

Buttler '100% ready' to lead the side after almost 2 month out.

Here we go, best of three.

Aussies win the toss and bowl.

Stokes returns too.

Aussie 2nd string bowlers taking a hammering, Eng 50/0 off 5.

Looking set, could be a cricket score.

Great shame, a fearsome track to play on.

Anyway back to hit & giggle Aussies need 209, currently 96-2 at halfway so not quite up the RRR but loads of wickets in hand.

It's still there, they're doing some substantial rebuilding works to it, which in very general terms are meant to turn it into a more flexible ground that can be used for more things.

As far as cricket's concerned, it'll have a 10 000 capacity, with potential for 15 000, so my understanding is they'll use it for matches where the crowd won't touch the sides at the new ground.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Bit worrying if we can't beat a side missing their top 3 bowlers.

Still, get the Sandpaper Kid out and we're back in it.

 

[Sid and the Sharknados]

Not sure how that wasn't obstructing the field.

Maybe Buttler will decide appealing for LBWs is against the spirit of the game next.

To be fair, if Wade's shot had carried across the boundary Australia would have needed 6 of 3 with a set batsman on strike, and would have been favourites to win.
