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

Johnson to be investigated for spot-fixing, tbh.

 

[Top_Cat]

Lol. Was that posted before he nailed him?

How does Johnson swing it with that seam position? Defies logic. & physics too, probz.

Seam still acts as a rudder even with not vertical. More important that it not be scrambled than upright. People are just encouraged to keep it upright because it encourages a lot of allied stuff (seam movement, upright body position, other bowlers in the attack are more likely to bowl seam-up so you won't **** the ball up for them, slingy bowling hurts more, etc.)

So, in summation, Johnson is one of those selfish ****s who ****s up the ball for everyone else so they can bowl how they want. Hate that guy.

Hastings has Dale Steyn's nose if not his other attributes.

Not convinced with Trott at three in a PP. Especially with Strauss at the other end.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Feeding Strauss's pull not clever bowling, tbh.

 

[vcs]

Australia's tactic should be to keep Trott on strike.

Trott plays a good reverse-sweep though, TBF to him.

Such a rocks and diamonds pace attack for us tonight - Lee, Tait and Johnson. Could do anything - good or bad.

I shudder to be taking this attack into a knockout match tbh.

 

[Spark]

Was that Tait down at fine leg? Looked very sluggish.

 

[vcs]

Way too many full-tosses from the spinners.

Another one from Hussey.

 

[Spark]

One gets put away, finally.

Should look for 320-330 here.

 

[Spark]

Lol Strauss. What did he need to do that for? Had a big hundred tagged there.

 

[BoyBrumby]

FFS. Strauss carves a meaty Smith half-volley to mid-wicket. Good take tho.

Came down the track tbf. Just no need for it.

Lol @ Smith bouncing straight off KP

Superb catch.

Yeah, fair call. Looks like he got a fair bit of it too, just straight to Dussey.

 

[Burgey]

Smith - has the knack of jagging wickets atm.

And Strauss. Truly he pisses away good form better than most.

 

[Spark]

Yeah, fair call. Looks like he got a fair bit of it too, just straight to Dussey.

I mean it was actually a pretty reasonably piece of bowling. Held the carrot out for Strauss, and he bit nicely.

Think that's a stretch too far, tbh. 95% batsman error that one. Strauss totally middled it.

Love that clip from WC '92. Neil Fairbrother WAG.
