*Official* Australia in England T20s and ODIs

[Penguinissimo]

Fair play to Morgan - made a decent score last match, and this is a genuinely good innings (even if he has been dropped).

 

[Uppercut]

Yeah, good show this from Morgan. Had more than a healthy slice of luck, but even so, for perhaps the first time he looks like he's good enough to be here.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Wright's injured. I guess they wanted to keep the same formula.

& why not? Been a unqualified success so far.

TBF we're within shouting distance of adequacy here tho. Series has gone and you're resting your best bowler, but baby steps...

 

[Scaly piscine]

The thing with England is even *when* all of the batsmen get going they've still been in danger of being bowled out. It's hardly surprising that when the usual happens (ie 2 batsmen get out early somewhere along the line) that they don't even manage a competitive total.

 

[TT Boy]

TBF he's probably played more ODIs than England have too.

Nah, England have played 500+.

 

[TT Boy]

Nice shot from Morgan.

 

[stumpski]

Five minutes ago Australia might have been pretty happy with this - not so sure now.

Won't be straightforward getting 290 under lights.

Johnson ending with horrible figures - who'd be a death bowler eh?

 

[Jarquis]

300 needed then. Interesting last over there.

 

[Athlai]

Strong score.

 

[S Chanderpaul]

Finally a good score, but still expect us to lose.

Good knock from Morgan!

 

[kingkallis]

That shot by Rashid over the point was a class shot.....loved the slow motion replays!

 

[BoyBrumby]

All those Aussies who wanted a proper target to chase have got their wish anyway. Probly waltz it still tho.

 

[social]

How the **** did the Aussies manage to lose a test series against a country almost totally devoid of talent?

Unbelieveable really

Because the crims bottled it good and proper.

 

[stumpski]

Inevitable result of leaving a gap between slips - 4 to Watson.

They'll get most of the way there against Broad's overs at this rate.

This has to be one of the weaker English attacks in recent memory, with no proper alternative to these two plus Bresnan, Rashid & Mascarenhas.

Onions is still waiting for a game ... I think I'd have him ahead of Sidebottom or Bresnan tbh. But yeah, hard to think of another player in county cricket who could come in and do a job. I always thought Jon Lewis was a bit unlucky, but he's probably past it now.

 

[four_or_six]

Bloody hell, that's a good shot from Ponting.

 

[pasag]

Lol at cricinfo headline 'Watson falls after steady start'

Glorious six from Punter.
