I haven’t been watching the ODI series between England and Australia being played this week,but I see that due to the DLS method we have to score 9 more runs than Australia did in their 48 overs.Not that there’s much chance of us getting their original score,let alone the extra runs needed to win,but it does seem a bit unfair to me.I can understand it being swayed by a run chase with only 10 or 20 overs,but they’re only losing 2 overs.
Is there a better way of setting a fairer run chase than the present system? |  | | |  |

Its never made much sense. Feel like England clocked off after winning the T20 world cup and aren't really arsed about these games. [Post edited 22 Nov 2022 12:32]

There is too much cricket for them to play unfortunately mate.The T20 World Cup followed by these 3 odi’s,a tour of Pakistan,a ODI tour to South Africa and then a test tour to New Zealand.
Something has to give I’m afraid. | | | |

Doesn't look like anyone is watching this series in the stands either
Although Aussie crowds were poor during the WC so maybe they just don't like the team atm | | | |

The England team have a 6am flight out of Oz tomorrow morning so they ain’t going to get much sleep so be way of getting an extra hour is to get bowled out cheap. It seems that the authorities and the players are prostituting themselves to get as much money as possible. Players are complaining about the schedules but then happily to fly round the world to the different T20 franchises. | |

That is when they make money for themselves instead of their cricket boards. | | | |

I’m not saying they don’t,but they get a nice bonus playing T20 cricket for mega bucks around the world. | | | |

Livingston has just pulled out of the Big Bash due the too much cricket.
I think you will more and more players opting out of substandard comps and only focusing on the IPL | | | |

Well considering they’ve all had the sh1ts they haven’t done too badly on it!
506 for 4 on the first day is just mental, even more so when you realise they only had 75 overs because of losing the last hour through bad light! | | | |

Bad luck on England. I think the record is somewhere around 509 on the first day so the early finish stopped them easily beating that total. |  | | |

I believe from what the commentators said that it was a record for the first day of a Testbut the early finish stopped them passing 509 which was the record for any day. | | | |

We beat the previous best by an England team in one day that was set over 100 years ago.I bet they had more than 75 in a day back then?
Fantastic batting from all the England team today,but with potentially 75 overs missing over the 5 days it’s hard to see any other result than a draw. [Post edited 1 Dec 2022 13:34]

I read England once scored 588 in a day against India in the 1930s, but probably off 120-odd overs. |  | | |

Will be setting the alarm for 4.30 tomorrow morning. |  | | |

Could be an exciting finish. England need 3 wickets, Pakistan 80 runs but bad light will probably win the day. |  |

what an incredible match. 9 down now, 45mins play left probably |  | | |

I think light will win the day unless they can get the last wicket within the next 20 minutes. | |

Amazing win just as the sun was setting. Most runs ever in a five-day test, despite all the bad light. | | | |

England win! Must admit at tea it was looking in the balance but those two wickets straight after the break of the batsmen that were in at tea turned the game. Most runs scored in a five day test match apparently. | |

Extraordinary. What a team and attitude England have now. Ashes Summer is going to be box office. |  |
