GROUP B - Australia, England, Zimbabwe

[Scaly piscine]

Are Australia attempting to hit the target in time to eliminate England?

Don't have to attempt anything when Collingwood and James Kirtley are bowling to set batsmen with the field up. It's just gift wrapping big overs.

 

[Goughy]

I think it's Donna Simmons from the Windies

She is terrible

 

[The_Bunny]

They have to get the runs in about 24 balls to knock England out now

 

[Athlai]

England are getting slaughtered here, shouldn't Flintoff be bowling? (Just got home)

 

[Son Of Coco]

Well done England, just complete gifted these tossers the win they needed.

All they had to do was get through the first 6 and you can bowl anyone then. They can milk the overs at their leisure now.

Are you talking about the English full tossers?

 

[Laurrz]

only 24? u sure? thought it was more

 

[Athlai]

Speak of the devil

Odd captaincy to say the least. It's not as if Broad & Fred were that much of a disaster in the first 4 overs.

It seems to have been a strategy of other teams to continue the opening bowlers (or at least one) through the full 4 over spell.

 

[SpaceMonkey]

Dunno why England choose to bat first. The only way we could really lose badly enough to get knocked out is if we set Aus a target that they could chase down. Surely it would have made sense to bat second.

Great, isn't it?

What a buffoon Pietersen is - saying he's going to dominate Australia - like they needed ammo for this game.

Still, after the embarrasment of the other day, it looks like they'll avoid the ultimate indignity - losing to England.

 

[wpdavid]

You have to fear for Kirtley against these guys.

EDIT
OK, hold that thought until he actually get a bowl.

Like the man said ...

Understandably so - these guys aren't in the habit of bowling one or two over spells in any other form of the game.

Would have loved to see them out early personally.

God Flintoff has been unlucky almoast every boundry off him has been an edge or mis****.

Oh my god miss-hit gets edited out.

Wondering why England didn't employ it TBH.

 

[grecian]

Gotta laugh, we're bowling Freddie because we can't trust anyone else, in case OZ get it in 9.3.

Embarrassing, tbh

 

[wpdavid]

Never mind, Schofield will bowl them out. Gilchrist gone.

TBF that's been the case for the last 4 or 5 years in limited over cricket.
