*Official* Australia in England

[_Ed_]

Reading this thread is something I deeply and profoundly regret.

I am sorry to other posters but social's post were just like inviting the worst out of me. I shall try to ignore him in future.

To get the time for Australian games, do we add 10 hours to GMT time? Does the game start at 7:45pm AEST time?

EDIT: Tomorrow, of course.

Yeah we're GMT+10. We're the current time in England +9 though because they have daylight savings at the moment.

I tell you one person who will be extremely pleased Hauritz is out - Strauss. It's kinda amazing how many times Hauritz has got him out working onto the legside.

Hauritz has been shaping up well as the lead spinner, hasn't he? Not half bad with the bat either.. Think it is more of a blow than people are making it out to be, tbh..

How many times is it? Looking at the various commentaries I can only find 2. Admittedly he has got Strauss 6 times in 10 ODI's but 2 were reverse sweeps and 2 outside edges.

iirc it was twice in a row, both c&b.

Huge loss but I'm so over the Oz injury situation that I couldnt even be bothered commenting on it at the time

What's even more galling is that his 2 likely replacements are both imjured as well, that's why they had to go for Tait

 

[akilana]

Not to take away anything from England but I'm unable to judge their performance because of the injury list.

Also credit to A Flower for developing a positive England ODI side.

Though half the names you keep brining up aren't first ODI material anyways. Hilfenhas and Siddle are both crap at ODIs for starters.

Haha yeah it's been massively exaggerated. The team that played the first game was only one player off what I think the selectors would go for at full strength.

Reckon we are in for a smashing today. Too much over the top positive press in the last few days. We will bat first and struggle to make 200

 

[GIMH]

Never had more apathy to an England-Oz clash than the one today tbh

Time zones can be a bastard to work through mate.

Currently, as noted, we're 9 hours ahead.


And 30 years behind...

Nah we are 10 hours ahead, in September it would be 11, then back to 10 at April.

nah we both have DST when you go forward an hour we go back an hour and vice versa (give or take a week). You are 10 hours ahead of GMT but only 9 hours ahead of BST which is what we are on atm.

They are the bane of my existence TBH.

We're GMT+10 but we're only nine hours ahead of England because they're GMT+1 in their summer.

EDIT: Err, beaten.

Trust me mate, its 9. You can assume I am acutely aware of the timezone differences between here and Europe

Edit: beaten.

And Cribbage, I share the pain...

What press, can't say I've noticed much, positive or negative.
