*Official* Australia in England T20s and ODIs

[Uppercut]

Why don't they bowl full and outside off stump to Strauss? That's where he's iffy.

It was the same during the test series. South Africa absolutely tortured him last year with the one that straightens from a right-armer going around the wicket. Australia never seem to go after him there at all.

Probably the only people worse than our current selectors tbh. Atherton is probably the only one who doesn't get swept up in it, and I hate him anyway.

Yeah, say what you think, Dav. It's not like he's ever gonna read it, is he?

Ravi looking determined to show he can play a test innings. Wrong format, obv, but baby steps...

I would seriously consider playing Cook instead of Bopara, Cook now scores faster! How things change?

Even Ian Bell is now scoring run a ball 100's.

Anyway Ravi with another 4 and now has a strike rate of 63

So painful to watch. 1-1, unless Hauritz opens a bag of tricks. Or Watson finds his swing.

Australian 'Hopes' going down the drain.........

 

[BoyBrumby]

Have to say it's amazing how far Australia has fallen as a one-day outfit. Well, not that amazing really when you consider the losses of Hayden, Gilchrist, McGrath, Symonds, Ponting & Haddin for one reason or another, but you know what I mean. We've been shyte for donkey's, but one expects better of the crims.

Hopes just looks a B&P hack to me.

 

[four_or_six]

Hopes isn't looking good. I thought he might bowl well today.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Bopara = just **** really

 

[Nate]

Wattatoooooooooo

 

[four_or_six]

Well that over from Watto makes you wonder what all the 'proper' bowlers have been playing at.

 

[Prince EWS]

How does Ferguson only average 35 in List A? Was good against NZ earlier in the year and looks all class here.

Hasn't really come good until pretty recently. He's always looked good at the crease but only in the last season or so has he actually started to make runs for SA.

Long way away from this ridiculous batting line-up

Hayden
Gilchrist
Ponting
Martyn
Clarke
Symonds
Hussey

That was just too good.

 

[four_or_six]

Oh Watto.

Can't believe I've got to go out for work.

 

[pasag]

Watto!

 

[iHammad]

Australia fighting back!

 

[Prince EWS]

Watto bowling well is bad news IMO; injury beckons.

 

[LegionOfBrad]

Shah to get out handled ball to add to his list of ****ing stupid ways of getting out?

 

[grecian]

Well, that pinch-hitting performance from Ravi was just TOOO exciting, so I'm glad it's ended now. This series is making me weep,, still could be another close finish, when it never should of been.

Davies or Foster for Prior please you ****ing numbskulls. Anyone for Bopara, Napier for Anderson and we'd still just be average, but that's better then this, FFS.

Had Lehmann and Bevan around just before that, too.
