***Official*** Commonwealth Bank Tri-Series

Looking on the bright side at least Tennis fans will be able to watch the Australian open tennis semi final without missing the cricket.

This drubbing reminds me of last nights Federer-Roddick game tbh.

1 ball to get a Pfeiffer!

good point......

 

[JBH001]

They are actually in 20-30 meters which is disgraceful. Totally cheapening the game.

!!!

That is crazy! Totally cheapens the game, I agree.

I can understand the ropes being brought in 1 - 2 metres to save fielding injuries, at a stretch I can understand, though not agree, to ropes being brought in 5 - 10 metres for greater entertainment value. But 20 - 30 metres!

Jeez...

 

[Alysum]

there was a game aus a v sri lanka and they played 2 shortened games as the first one was all over in 2 1/2 hours. so

No I mean a non-shortened game

 

[bugssy]

No I mean a non-shortened game

yer it was meant to be a 50 over game, but because the first game was all over rather quickly they played 2.

 

[pasag]

All out for 110, dire.

 

[SquidAU]

GORN!

Hogg gets a c&b

All out 110.

 

[pasag]

This is going to be ugly.

Not far off.

 

[Alysum]

i hope england loses the next games so it can go home early on the plane, had enuf of that **** team here

 

[Arrow]

This England team would have to be one of the worst to ever visit Australia, especially in one dayers. They cant bat or bowl and just suck. England have always been famous for their collapses but Ive really lost count of them this summer. Seems like they collapse every innings.

 

[SquidAU]

The Poms need a good ol' Lleyton "COME ONNNNNNN!"

It seriously looks like they don't want to be in Australia anymore.

Their lowest score at AO too.

 

[andyc]

So, unless England manage to beat NZ, and then manage to beat us in the finals, they'll go home after losing every game to Australia, and only winning the one game. Anyone know if that's ever happened in an Ashes series?

1990/91?

 

[Johnners]

this is seriously turning out to be one of the most boring Tri-Series series ever. Show's how much of a difference Pietersen makes imo

 

[_Ed_]

I'm hoping NZ will be able to make some matches against Australia interesting with Styris and Mills coming back to the team...not overly optimistic though the way Australia are going.

Pietersen makes a hoooggggeee difference to the Poms.

They probably would have won a couple more games with him batting.

Although, Flintoff looked good up until the last couple of games.

 

[Arrow]

The 1990 England team that visited Australia were far more competative than this one. In both forms of the game.
Lets play a game and guess how many overs it takes for Australia to win this.

Thats alot of strength back for the Kiwis though. Look at the difference Oram made in the last game.

It should be a competitive finals series, IMO.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

If they get the 111 in less than ten overs, they get a triple bonus point.
