*Official* Australia in England T20s and ODIs

[King Pietersen]

England are the only team that could possibly throw this away from here. Just a horrible spell of batting.

 

[grecian]

Ohh, FFS, would be a fitting end to the series though, if we were to throw it away

 

[pasag]

 

[King Pietersen]

This is England at their very best. 12/4 off the last 4.4 overs. It would just sum the series up if we lose from here.

Hussain blaming this collapse on Strauss. Ha.

 

[Pratters]

 

[Jono]

I hope England lose, just because it'd be funny.

 

[Raghav]

England never disappoint you. They can make a dull game look interesting...!!!

 

[stumpski]

Even more interesting now ... only 15 to get, but into the bowlers.

Does Colly have to start farming the strike now?

 

[Jono]

Some yorkers would be useful now Lee

 

[stumpski]

Bresnan's looking nicely confident I have to say - don't want him stealing the strike though.

 

[King Pietersen]

I'm looking forward to listening to the dross that Botham will be coming out with when picking his CT XI. Just wish they allowed him to pick a full squad, it would have been hilarious.

 

[grecian]

It would be fitting if it was an extra wot won it, after all as Zaremba has told us, it's been our best performer this series.

A no-ball did the job. Quietly done in the end, but an important win for all that. End of four and a half months of international cricket this season.

 

[King Pietersen]

Brett Lee Man of the Series? No real stand-out performer. Strauss was leading run-scorer, but with England going down 6-1 it's hard to give him the award. I'd give it to Lee.

More importantly, England clearly have all the momentum going into the Champions Trophy. Get your money on them.

Hilfenhaus > Bracken

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

Oh piss off. Clearly know sweet FA about cricket if you think that.

Not once has a Durham pitch in recent memory over-favoured the bowlers whether it be domestic or international cricket. They're wickets with a balance between bat and ball, why do you think Durham have just crushed everyone in the CC with both batsmen and bowlers having great records for the season?

 

[GIMH]

Relieved tbh

 

[GIMH]

Loving Swann's celebration when he got Lee

Scaly, you're clearly a biased idiot!

The second test vs WI was a joke and the the fact that a straight-breaker like Swann today took 5 is more of the same1

Plunkett, Harmy, Onions are all hacks and the fact that they've won a CC sums it up

Please, please, please give an Ashes test to a decent ground
