decent win, imagine if we had picked Root, probably be three up now.

Is the point now that whilst it is possible to chase 300 in England it isn't THAT easy?


So 300 sometimes looks beatable but with a wicket here and there it is just too much?

300 really isn't chased that often, however in recent years it has been seen more frequently, so these days it is seen as quite gettable. I think the ALL TIME average score for a 50 over ODI match is still around 238.

29/2 off 8 overs... Old Skool!

Aussies getting into the revival spirit with some 1970's scoring.

Maxwell is wrecking England at the moment, very decent knock so far. We have dropped him twice.

Need a couple of wickets here, or we will be chasing 320+

210/60 off 40

England in a great position to choke the life out of them for a cheap 260.

Come on lads

Oh dear. 300 for the crims

If only we still had a top quality death bowler like Jade Dernbach in the team.

We still don't seem to get those final overs right.

63 off the last five - good hitting
