*Official* Australia in England T20s and ODIs

Really quite silly from the selectors, 7-0 possibility and they don't select the best side. Could have done with Ferg right about now...

Haha, Hopes proved me right again. The guy can't save games with either bat or ball unlike specialists.

 

[pasag]

That said, one shocker of a batting performance in seven really isn't anything to write home about. The real test will come in a few days time and we should know if we're improving or it's all the oppo.

 

[inbox24]

We already know the answer, it's the oppo. If this was against the saffers we'd be at the end of the 6-1 or 5-2 drubbing.

Hope the Durham groundsman learns how to produce an international quality pitch sometime soon - every wicket I've seen at this ground has favoured the bowlers far too much and produces shortened contests as a result

usually a good thing as your playing in the breaks between rain!

 

[oitoitoi]

well done swann, ripped right through this aussie line up, albeit on a helpful surface.

 

[pasag]

Hussey finding form is a fantastic silver lining here.

**** YOU STUART MACGILL!

That was the worst joke of all time.

Missed it, needs explaining imo

It's hardly a minefield. Nothing wrong with a bit of spice in the pitch, it makes for cricket that is a million miles more entertaining than the usual road.

 

[Jono]

God this has been a **** series between two ordinary teams.

And LOL @ Hilfenhause in limited overs cricket. GTFO

12 year old emailed in a question. Was about 10:30pm AEST.

He refused to answer the question and said he was doing so because it was past his bedtime.

He's been awkward all ****ing tour, and I've missed most of this ODI series but it was said here that he's improved as a host.

Answer is, no he hasn't.

 

[Jono]

No ball, no ball, beamer.

Wow Hilfenhaus, you are ordinary.

 

[andyc]

Haha, Hilfenhaus. Absolute rubbish.

 

[zaremba]

Extras once again doing a fine job for England. As so often, our most convincing contributor of runs.
