@Sneakdefreak cant recall the name, but was listenign to an interview with former Afghanistan Coach (think he was English?) a couple of weeks back and he was saying he had to take a different route to and from trainings every day, armed guards at trainings and the like...shame really, cos that is likely to hinder any chance of them getting to much better, let alone ever hosting a match!

If Al-Qaeda catch you playing cricket you are goneski apparently, so it is an achievement just playing the game. They almost have to move camp to another country, but that doesn't help grassroots development

@taniwharugby I recall the first team that played an international match this century after the invasion was made up of former refugees who had fled to Pakistan, UAE and other parts of the world. Wonder if that's still where they get their squad from?

Looks like thundery showers all tonight in London but should clear up in time for Eng v Aus at Lord's.

Boult would love to be bowling here this morning. Grey skies, mid 20s and about 70% humidity.
If those ball don't swing in this kind of conditions they never will (without sandpapering).Looks to be similar tomorrow and only clearing in time to start so ball could be nipping around. Add to that the threat of the occasional heavy shower (thunderstorm) and a possible D/L calculation......

Given there is now a mathematical chance for England to miss the finals, this game takes on a bit of a different complexion than what it seemed last week.
If it were a 'dead rubber', then you could argue Australia should rest Starc and maybe Cummins, while England could look to rotate through their squad as well.
But now there's an opportunity to put some real pressure on England, so I reckon we go all guns blazing.

@barbarian think we have to in either case - put the pressure on, and win or lose we'll figure out a lot about our opposition.

@barbarian it's the Aussie way. Hell, if we are in the same situation (say in the final round of RR) I would expect the black caps to try and put England to the sword. I think they will lose to a full strength Aussie side, then the blowtorch really goes on vs India

Good start by Australia. Not going overboard in tough conditions just setting a solid platform.

Nasser's OK. Gives some good insight. It's Botham who's utter crap.

Interesting match this. Dunno who I want to win.
Can't stand the likes of Smith and Warner but an Oz win would at least piss off the whiny. holier-than-thou Pom sports media.

His strine is off the fucking charts.
He's also a boring thick fluffybunny.
Nasser is alright his tone is just so fucking boring. I really like this chick who is on, I think she's great.
Aus counter attacking now.
