Not disagreeing but lets face it we didn't have the tv coverage of the 86/87 series so that lot may have been worse. Shows the standards they have set for so long though as even though they were piss poor in the last ashes this lot look weaker in batting (bowling looks stronger on paper but they may not reach the park) and fielding.
Remind me of England of the 90's. Decent attack and no batting.

Tredwell will get smashed and soon as he is basically a right-handed Doherty so he doesn't even have the advantage of spinning the ball away from the bat

Its funny how everyone is going on about Australia being terrible but they will probably still somehow make the semi-finals of this tournament.

Yeah, Ponting was still quite good then and hadn't become mortal.

Cameron White scored runs back then too, and Callum Ferguson was looking like a great one day prospect. And of course Watson was there. Funilly enough Ferguson's been given about three games since he got injured in the 2009 tournament. Really odd if you ask me.

Injured then never regained any form since, not such a surprise.

Lost the Ashes with 2 terrible batting collapses and also collapsed ridiculously to the West Indies at home (I want to say in Brisbane but I'm not 100% on that) to nearly lose a Test they closed the first innings 250 odd in front.
It was the start of their decline to the pathetic unit we see today.

Ah, I thought the conversation being in the Champions Trophy subbie meant we were talking about one day cricket. Silly me.

match and thread cliffs from today? Bopara masterclass?
Saw the first 20 overs of England's innings. Man, Aus must have been bad to only make 220-9.

England should have scored a few more, slightly, and I do mean slightly disappointing run chasing in the early stages, but hugely wrong in the latter stages, mainly Morgan and buttler, bop did well to salvage it, a decent innings. oz bowling not really all it's cracked up to be.
Oz just awful in reply, but some very decent bowling from us, best as a unit for a while. Bresnan really good.

I'd say that is his best innings for England, looked composed and at ease throughout and picked the right ball to hit. Bowling wasn't as good as he has previously shown but can't complain.

thanks grecian and flibber. good win then. puts us in a good posn to make the semis.
Kinda glad i didn't have to follow most of the England batting. Does tend to dry me crazy.
Happy for Ravi. Infuriating player and not really good enough but he does take a fair bit of stick (mostly correctly) so nice for him to have a good day.
