I’m starting to feel like Bairstow could do with some time away from international cricket in all formats at the moment

When Roy comes back, I suppose his place will be under pressure. Especially if Banton has another good series.

Good catch. Aussies fighting back after the fast start from England.

Wow I stopped watching as I thought it’s done and dusted. England are seriously back in this now!

4 wickets for 9 runs in last 14 balls!

Bother Archer and Wood are beating them for pace. I think a bit undercooked due to the long covid layoff.

This Stoinis has some balls facing Wood and Archer at 90+ mph without an arm guard!

Aussies did a wonderful job throwing that game. They had been quite lucky all game with a lot of miss hits falling away from the English fielder's

Amazing comeback! I gave england absolutely no chance at one point. It was a run a ball with around 8 overs to go!

The nerves on this England team are incredible, should take a couple to the Euro’s and sub them for penalties!

Cracking game and yet more evidence that Morgan is the best white ball captain around.

So I watched this with the missus. First T20 she’s actually watched. I was complaining that England played poorly, and it was pretty much done when Australia were coasting. Now apparently she’s annoyed because I always exaggerate how badly a team is playing, or play down the team I’m supporting. :rolleyes:

In my defence, No one would have seen that coming.

Was so interesting to hear Pieterson predict that ending could happen when Australia were strolling towards victory.

The coverage on sky cricket is why i'm not so fussed about paying what we do for our subscription. Especially during these last few tests and limited overs series during lockdown - just fantastic and engaging commentary.

Great game, thought it was lost, but a win by 2 runs will do me fine!

Expect fireworks from the Aussies in the next game though.

Sky’s cricket is always quality.
What a win!! Beating the Aussies like that, doesn’t get much better than that :lol:

The rise of Malan in t20's has been pretty staggering, hard to see him being left out at any point

It's weird really that the last 2 England Vs Australia limited overs games have involved an absolute beatdown in a world cup semifinal & now a miraculous come from behind win with England winning. How the tables have turned
