Australia steal an ODI series from England 3-2

The 2024 England Australia Daily, 5th ODI, Bristol: We got there. Five matches, five results. This one could have fallen either way, with both teams walking the tightrope of imminent rain. It was another contest that went wildly one way or another. Sometimes bowlers looked unplayable, other times they looked unusable. But a flurry of boundaries decided it before a flurry of sleet. That's our final word for the English season: next up, Season 17.

Thanks Geoff! As much as I understand the need for something like DLS it does feel a little underwhelming when it results the game. Either way, stoked that Australia got a win in England!

Australia "steals" a ODI series?
An ODI series that Aus lead 2-0?
an ODI series where Aus also lost a match due to the DL method?
Had England won after being down 0-2, that would've been the real "steal".
Good series overall despite how late in the season it is over there.

After time wasting?

[@Sarah_0112]

Not only did we get a game, we got a game with Smudge in charge AND Australia won! We also got Eng losing even morally coz of their time wasting shenanigans... triple whammy! Its not a meaningless bilateral when its EngvAus. Thanks for the excellent coverage, Geoff!

Smith won it his captaincy was perfect both choosing the spin attack and 20 overs requirement. Smith Warner were removed from.leadership big mistake
