Group A - India, England, Australia, West Indies

[Barney Rubble]

Pietersen in at three instead of Flintoff. Interesting.

 

[chalky]

Short wide long hop from Watson slapped straight to short cover by Bell. A wicket earned really by the two left armers Bracken & Johnson who were able to tie up the runs since drinks.

 

[Barney Rubble]

Pietersen gone for 1. Bugger.

 

[pasag]

Johnson you legen. Pietersen goneeee for 1.

 

[PY]

Gah, we always do this...

 

[Scaly piscine]

Typical, I get up England are 83-0, switch the radio on as KP is coming out and is soon going back to the pavilion.

 

[Barney Rubble]

Fred in at four. Even more interesting.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Good bowling there from Johnson.

 

[chalky]

Australia really starting to pull the run rate back now a maiden from Lee & excellent bowling from Johnson. I think 230 though would take some chasing on pitch.

 

[Jamee999]

Fred gone

 

[pasag]

Hahaha yes!!!

Flintoff gone to a Watson-Hussey combo again. We have a game on our hands.

 

[PY]

Complete opposite IMO, game as good as over methinks.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Why is an out of form Flintoff coming in *up* the order? He'd be better off at 6 when he's as rubbish as this.

Any what a joke Watson having 2 wickets - typical of ODIs tho.

Haha, don't be so negative.

I'm really impressed by Johnson and Watson, they both have really good actions and are pretty accurate to IMO.

Poor work by England it has to be said though, getting of to a good start and now we're beggining to throw it away. I think the Flintoff experiment should be shelved for a while now.

 

[Gajanayake]

Damn !!! Flintoff gone.......


Not really sjure what will be a decent total on this wicket but I'll hazard a guess and say 250....can England make it ??

 

[PY]

Haha, don't be so negative.

Have you seen England's batting lineup? And bowling for that matter.

We needed one of KP or FF to score heavily or we were done for. Unless something extraordinary happens, I can't see us winning this.

 

[superkingdave]

Poor tactics by England imo, sides know as soon as Flintoff and Pietersen are back in the hutch that they can contain the rest of the batsmen pretty easily, both aren't in the greatest form, so we shove them both up the order.

Been impressed with Watson and Johnson as others have said. Watson pretty accurate

 

[pasag]

Symonds takes out Strauss in his first over.

Revenge of the second string bowlers here.

 

[Jamee999]

Our best batsman comes in.
