*Official* England in Australia (2 T20 & 7 ODIs)

[Ausage]

By not getting out, and getting off strike. That's basically it.

I'm not saying it was a good innings, but if we lose this, with an RRR of 7 when he got out, there'll be much bigger culprits than him

He didn't get off strike anywhere near quick enough. The run rate should have been far higher considering how well Watto is doing, and it leaves players like Hussey far more to do than they should have. Very poor innings for mine.

 

[GIMH]

Good game this. Crims clear favourites but there's been just enough to keep us interested.

 

[morgieb]

Barely, If Watson faces enough of the strike, they'll coast home. Even if he doesn't, it only takes one good over to leave Aus needing singles.

Watson hasn't faced a ball for like 3 overs though. It's still possible that you can win because your lot is bowling very well here.

Yardy on, interesting.

 

[Jono]

Oh oh, Yardy,.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Making a meal of it but will surely win easily.

 

[Jono]

Good over from the ugly Yardy.

Still australia should be fine.

 

[Spark]

Come on now. Don't be stupid here, just get a single every ball.

 

[morgieb]

Excellent over from Yardy.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Good comeback from Yards.

Crims still, but pendulum came back slightly there.

 

[wpdavid]

After his last over, I'd have kept Bresnan on. It's not easy to keep bowling two-over spells.

EDIT
Sure enough, he's bowling far too short in this over, + loads of extras.

 

[Spark]

Come on Cam. Just knock if for one.

 

[wpdavid]

Excellent over from Yardy.

It was. But you fancy Aus will target his next over. Still in a powerplay aren't we?

 

[superkingdave]

At least its looking like another game with a decent finish.

 

[superkingdave]

It was. But you fancy Aus will target his next over. Still in a powerplay aren't we?

powerplay is finished and shouldnt be surprised if Yardy doesnt bowl his last over as Trott bowled one.

 

[NUFAN]

I don't really seeing us winning this now. Watto is tiring and White looks ordinary at the moment. Heaps of pressure would be on Dussey then.

 

[BoyBrumby]

It was. But you fancy Aus will target his next over. Still in a powerplay aren't we?

Nope, ended a couple back.

 

[morgieb]

There we ****ing go!

 

[Jono]

So dumb by Tremlett. So so dumb

 

[Howe_zat]

Gah! Three off the over and he bowls a four-ball last ball. Really less than impressed by Tremmers today.

 

[Spark]

Not timing them at all is Cam...

Wow, strange call. Strauss and Bresnan not happy at all.
