***Official*** Australia in England 2012

[Spark]

There we go!

 

[Ruckus]

be interested to see Johnson's confidence here, assuming he gets to bat.

 

[Burgey]

George had hardly timed a thing so far. that drive had the bat spinning in his hand like a rank amateur.

 

[Jnr.]

There we go!

Strike rate now above 50!!

Where's pup11? Given his love of intent and George Bailey it would make for some interesting posting imo.

This pitch has slowed a lot tbf.

This pitch has slowed a lot tbf.

Yeah he hasn't been Robinson Crusoe.

Will be interesting to see what happens when Johnson bowls his assortment of long hops to see if the England players can time it any better.

 

[NUFAN]

Marsh, Ferguson, Quiney, White, Klinger, Cooper, Khawaja, a fit Tim Paine and perhaps Marcus North would all be better options over Forrest in our ODI team.

I like Bailey, this innings would be reasonable if he started it at the fall of the first wicket (like on Friday) and pushed on. I guess its not the easiest thing in the world changing spots in the order often when new to the team.

Johnson the ODI bowler is a different proposition to the Test bowler.

He's actually a pretty good ODI bowler mate.

Maybe it's a form of protest a la Gavaskar.

if it is slower, mckay and doherty will be threats, plus johnson could help lee reverse it with his lack of seam presentation

here we go maybe

Cheers Dernbach.

I hope Bailey does make this into a decent knock tbf. He'll learn a lot from this.

I dare say you'll find you're a **** just like you are everywhere else mate.

Johnson doesn't play for England mate, can't expect FJ to have watched him

We'll have to wait and see imo.

He isn't bad but has never really impressed in any form of the game in England. He also hasn't had much match practice since his injury so could be rusty etc...

Depends on the weather...
