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

[Burgey]

Nice leg glance from Mick there.

Edit: big spell here in this match. You'd think they'll want to target collingwood, and if they succeed it will put a fair bit of pressure on Strauss.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Ooo, that's gorgeous. Beautiful cut from Watson. Dreamy time.

 

[Ikki]

Whoever made that list and put Watson as the 16th greatest ODI player got it wrong...he's way higher.

 

[Jono]

Hopefully Twatto kicks on. He's batting like a dream. Great to watch.

 

[Spark]

[Jono]

Michael Clarke is ****house. Just ****ing admit it you ****s.

 

[Burgey]

Clarke gone again in such disappointing fashion. Played all around that. Poor bugger can't buy a score ATM.

Meanwhile, White needs runs here too.

 

[four_or_six]

Damn, Clarke out.

 

[Jarquis]

What did you do that for Colly?

 

[Jono]

**** White what was that?

Lucky.

 

[Top_Cat]

Decent ball from Colly there but Clarke didn't give himself much chance to keep it out. Ugly shot, just slightly across the line.

White really vulnerable here if Colly is bringing them back regularly.

 

[Jono]

Never understand why those aren't reviewed.

Awful run of form for Clarke.. all scores in international cricket since the start of Australia's tour of India - 14, 4, 14, 3, 111*, 27, 25, 50*, 9, 2, 80, 4, 20, 20, 13, 4, 41, 36, 10, 9, 15.

I can't understand why Clarke can't come out and for once chance his arm around a bit, its not like he would perform any worse than what he is doing atm.

 

[pup11]

We should have sent in Smith instead of White if we were looking for someone to up the ante, don't think we should risk White's wicket trying to do that.

 

[Zinzan]

Collingwood is such a Astle/Styris type of bowler. Can be damn handy of their day in ODI's.

 

[Adamc]

Comms struggling with the similes. "One end was shiny as hell...the other end was rough as...whatever."

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

We should have sent in Smith instead of White if we were looking for someone to up the ante, don't think we should risk White's wicket trying to do that.

But isn't it also counterproductive to Smith's career if he's asked to slog every time he comes to the middle?

 

[Ikki]

Michael-****ing-Clarke.

When you bat at #7 in LO cricket, then isn't that exactly what you are suppossed to do all the time.
