***Official*** Australia in England 2012

Anderson & Patel playing -

I'll be surprised if Patel gets half a dozen overs today - it looks like a seamer's paradise.

Blistering start by Australia.

Conditions reminiscent of the first ODI at Lords.

I'll be surprised if Patel gets half a dozen overs today - it looks like a seamer's paradise.

Yeah, think Bopara might get a fair few.

loving australia's new test match kit

see what i did there

 

[wpdavid]

Yeah, think Bopara might get a fair few.

You'd think so. Plus Trott if Bopara's having an off day.

 

[wpdavid]

cricinfo commenting on England having only two slip and no gully in these conditions. Sounds like fair criticism to me. Captaincy by numbers and all that.

 

[Burgey]

This is also on viewers choice on fox sports 2 here.

Great effort to get a game in today. Look forward to watching after I've finished with this doco on Breivik.

 

[Stumpcam]

How did the umpire not give that out originally? Amazing error imo.

 

[Days of Grace]

LOL at the ump not giving that. Love the DRS.

 

[grecian]

Well, horrific first decision. Plumb as...

 

[uvelocity]

kill me now

 

[Burgey]

How did the umpire not give that out originally? Amazing error imo.

Yeah, just flicked across and thought the same thing. Pitch middle and hitting half way up. Crazy.

 

[ajdude]

wowee

 

[Spark]

...

 

[Spikey]

Smitteh would have lasted more than one ball

 

[Redbacks]

Clarke might as well open

 

[Noble One]

Doesn't do your Test prospects much good when you fall LBW on a forward defense.

Great bowling by Finn. Massive seam movement.

 

[ImpatientLime]

That one ball knock will no doubt aid Forrest greatly in his future test career.

1st Semi-Final: Australia v England at Centurion, Oct 2, 2009 | Cricket Scorecard | ESPN Cricinfo

we were 1-6 at one stage in this match and we have watson and captain at the crease, not a chance of a repeat here though

 

[social]

If Eng pitches it up consistently, I'd be very, very surprised if we get 150 here

TBH, we were fortunate that the English bowlers were too short for most of the first 6 overs
