England who were the World Cup 2019 favorites now are in a state of worry.
They could not chase a not so high 233 vs Sri Lanka and lost.
Yesterday they lost to Aussies by 64 runs.
Aaron Finch's 100 and David Warner's 53 enabled Aussies to make 285 in 50 overs.
The Aussies bowlers then bowled superbly to bowl out England for 221 runs.
Only Ben Stokes made 89 of 115 balls
to offer some resistance. Joe Root, Bairstow, Vince could not do much and not could Jos Butler, who had a great IPL.
Mitchell Starc took 4 wicketswickets and the star was Jason Behrendorff who took 5 wickets.
With 3 losses, England would now need to get its act right.
With matches against Kiwis and India, England would need to play to their best.

@JudyEv frankly I watched only a last few overs of the match.
I was surprised that the famed English batting line up could not do much except for Ben Stokes.

@JudyEv Years ago, I used to watch Wimbledon and French Open a lot. But now I do not get to watch sports- be it Cricket, Football, Hockey or Tennis much

@JudyEv well busy on many fronts - Professional, Personal, Helping family folks, Kids' education guidance and left time for Mylot/FC and my writing interests, though even my writing interests have suffered recently.
Also, there have been medical issues recently in my family which took a lot of time and effort recently.

@allknowing today England now had the upper edge in the match.
Rishabh Pant is out after making 32 of 29 balls.

@allknowing yes the next match is against Bangladesh and we perhaps need to tweak the strategy a bit.

@allknowing On its day any team can beat anyone.
Afghanistan too gave tough fight to both India and Pakistan.

Thank you for sharing the cricket report since the sport does not get covered by the American sports networks.
