*Official* Australia in England T20s and ODIs

[grecian]

Shah will score a quick 50 to frustrate you all......

Just like how Bell and Broad did it in the tests!

I'm never frustrated when England players do well against OZ, no matter who they are

Anyway, I actually think we've bowled okay as a unit, the Aussies tactics have been a little *ahem* odd, but fair play to our lot, and I hope I'm wrong about the batting looking thinner then a supermodel with dysentery.

 

[King Pietersen]

25 runs too many.

Good effort from Ferguson, 71* from 75 balls. Looks a top young talent, seems to score at a good pace pretty effortlessly which is always good for a young OD player.

 

[TT Boy]

Sky's interval feature is on cricket in East London. Should be worth a watch.

 

[TT Boy]

Any other side and Australia are losing comfortably but I can't see our boys getting up for it.

 

[TT Boy]

Tower Hamlets. Home.

 

[Pizzorno]

On another note, Hopes' faceplant should win the ICC performance of the year.

 

[TT Boy]

Peter Roebuck wouldn't be too chuffed. Spot the white face...

 

[Nate]

Any other side and Australia are losing comfortably but I can't see our boys getting up for it.

Yeah, completely agree with this. If we win, I hope it doesn't totally overshadow how dire our batting was in the middle overs. Have we learnt nothing in the last 18 months?

Also interested to see who shares the new pill with Lee.

 

[Nate]

Replace our with Clarke's at your own discretion.

 

[TT Boy]

Good first over from Lee. Nice speeds.

 

[superkingdave]

FFS Bopara, its a free hit, did you not watch the game the other day, slower ball bouncer from Lee is pretty much a given

 

[pasag]

The Lee no-balls are almost enough to keep him out of the team with the free hit rule.

 

[TT Boy]

3rd time lucky.

 

[King Pietersen]

Why couldn't Bracken have opened in the Test series? Bopara actually looking solid in defence against him. Really hoping he gets a score today, he'll have to go if he has a couple more failures in this series. Fail in the first 2 and Denly'll have to come in.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Strauss successfully donates his wicket this time. ****witted batting. Trying to hack at the ball instead of playing proper shots which is his game.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Speaking of rubbish limited overs batting here's Prior.

 

[King Pietersen]

Think that's the problem with Strauss in ODi cricket. He feels the need to play those wofty, flashy drives which he's managed to avoid playing in Test cricket, as they were continually getting him out.

Awesome bouncer from Lee first ball to Prior. We're so screwed. If Bopara chucks his wicket away, and Shah goes cheaply, we're screwed.

 

[Manee]

The way that the Aussie fast bowlers are bowling, I think they may have missed a trick by not picking Nannes.

 

[Pizzorno]

Shot Ravehh

Driving on the up, don't see enough of that at international level these days.
