*Official* Australia in England T20s and ODIs

[Scaly piscine]

Haha @ Johnson getting beaten for pace by a jockish medium

Hmm Cricinfo have decided to add 19 to Australia's total.

I don't understand why Johnson has never done anything with the bat in ODI cricket. Almost a tailender in the format, statistically anyways,

Somewhat underwhelming ending from Australia once Dussey got out.

Should be interesting to see how the jocks cope with three 90mph+ bowlers.

 

[morgieb]

Decent innings despite playing a dud side. Good way to warm up.

 

[Nate]

Actually, does Voges' innings have the most 6s without hitting a 4 in an ODI?

 

[Scaly piscine]

The way this is going I may just accept the use of 'brave' if they get near this target.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Even Scotland's batsmen fancy the look of Watson (his bowling obviously).

 

[Nate]

Bowlers for the first ODI -

Bracken
Johnson
Nannes
Voges
Clarke

?

 

[Jarquis]

Watson hit for 6. Great shot.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Lee bowling to his own rules regarding wides...

Finally gets his second wicket.

 

[TT Boy]

Thought Lee bowled well. Don't know what his pace was like as the BBC's coverage couldn't afford a speed gun and was strictly no-frills but he seemed to rush all the Scottish batsman and got the ball to move in the air and off the pitch. Nannes did ok as well. Good showing from him in the 20/20's and Bracken will find his ODI place under real threat.

Watson got a few freebie wickets but I'll doubt you will be able to get more than five overs from him at the moment.

Cricinfo dont keep that record. The most 6's in an innings only goes down to 7. At 7 6's in an innings Ricky Ponting (108*) and Chigumbura (77) have both hit just 1 boundary. So i would guess that someone has quite possibly hit more.

Indeed. I would tend to think the problem is because he never had a chance to really build an innings, since he usually comes in late & has to slog - thus getting out tamely. Would expect him to correct that flaw in the near future, if he comes in with AUS 100/6 in a game for example.

 

[Uppercut]

Coming in at 7 or 8 in ODIs isn't a job many people manage at all tbh.

 

[Prince EWS]

Cricinfo dont keep that record.

StatsGuru does though. The record is held by Paul Collingwood - six sixes with no fours at Napier in 2008.

 

[Nate]

Nice EWS.

Jamie How.

Bit strange having a Twenty20 game during the day.

 

[four_or_six]

I'm really looking forward to this match, just got back off holiday so an afternoon on the sofa will be great. Hope there's plenty of runs.

Not at the weekend. Bank Holiday here so Sunday afternoon makes a fair bit of sense, barring the clash with the footy which will take a fair few TV viewers away

 

[TT Boy]

Poxy bunch of games. Neutral would favour the cricket if they are that way inclined.
