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

[salman85]

Australia FTW.

Watson to score a century.

Tremlett to go for 120 in his 10 overs.

Anyways target is 300, though we aren't the greatest of chasing sides but still we should fancy our chances here, the pitch is flat and England attack is lacking a good spinner, tipping Colly and KP to be their most effective bowlers on this wicket.

 

[TumTum]

Wasn't Clarke's last 50 here in the Ashes? That's a lot of matches to go without a 50.

 

[pup11]

Yeah, also one of the flattest pitches in the world. Not the best place to judge form, especially for him.

Hussey and Smith bowled mostly rubbish today and got the wickets.

If you want to just bag Smith then be my guest, but the kid is a pretty good all-round player its just the matter of giving him some confidence.
Given his present role in the side he should be bowling more overs than he has bowled so far in this series, he has kind of a golden arm which is something most decent wrist spinners do possess and to his credit he has done pretty well for us with the white ball whenever he has been given a chance.

He's a decent LO player I think. Not a test player yet.

And his facial expressions continue to conjure memories of Mr Bean.

I never questioned his abilities in the shorter formats of the game. And I don't believe this "golden arm" myth, it is either because you are a genuinely good bowler or you are just getting lucky. Didn't Clarke have the "golden arm" too? He certainly doesn't have it now.

Shahzad walks like he owns the park and Watson and Haddin are his babies.

You can be both. Speaking of Both, he was one who was, er, both. Swung it miles in his pomp, but picked up wickets with absolute filth at times, usually when he'd just been introduced.

Anyway, weird how Shazzer reduced his run and bowled quicker. That's win/win, surely?

 

[Jono]

Love watching Haddin when he actually hits the ball.

Less attractive when he gets bowled our edges it to slips

Curious he decided to do it mid-series. Seems to be working for him.

Well that was coming.

Faintly surreal effort when Tremmers was introduced. Absolutely minging slog first ball that squirts down to backward square leg for four, digs out a full length ball, another dirty slog across the line onto his pads and then chips one up to extra cover.

WTF was he doing? He's better than that.

 

[Spark]

wtf marsh

 

[BoyBrumby]

Jimmeh!

Obliging of Marsh to be so welcoming on his return.

 

[Jono]

Imagine how many dismissals like that will occur in the World Cup.

 

[GIMH]

Jimmy Anderson is a big lump of pure ***

 

[Jayzamann]

Marsh you bum.

Clarke to settle this innings down

 

[howardj]

He settles it down so well, he puts it to sleep.

 

[BoyBrumby]

It's stunning the difference watching chaps in nick and those out of it. Watson just times the knickers off everything at the moment but Clarke is all jerky, ugly prods.
