***Official*** Australia in England 2012

[Spikey]

I don't like Forrest either, but Hussey pulling out has sorta forced it to happen. I mean, I guess Smith at 3/4/5 could happen, but I don't think they'd be considering that

of course, all said and done, smith will smash 50 off 22 balls today

still waiting for skidmark00 to battle me in 8 pool btw #hurryupman

 

[uvelocity]

warner retired nice warmup

 

[Spikey]

he was in the middle of writing up his mock 2012 NHL draft when the covers came off. Decided to focus on art.

 

[Spikey]

come on smitteh

 

[turnstyle]

Anyone else miss Oz batting in yellow lids? Thought they'd gone back, but it was just Warner batting in a cap.

.........hedging their bets

There'll be no hedging bets here. If we don't win the series there's something wrong.

 

[Jacknife]

Reckon Ireland's gonna roll you over tbh.

Never happened.

collingwood making so many runs is still the most remarkable thing about that match

 

[Cabinet96]

And Anderson being our most economical seamer. Hadn't he gone for 90 two times before that in the last few games?

"BREAKING Pitch inspection this morning- the ground has drained well & the authorities are hopeful of play with no more rain ‪#moretofollow‬"

excellent

 

[Spikey]

Seems like an awful lot of these sorta matches get rained out. Happened to Scotland once or twice

 

[BoyBrumby]

so good

Really was, tbh. As an Englishman I was horrified at the time, but as a cricket fan you have to doff the cap. KO'B's innings was really one of the very best limited overs efforts I've seen.

Anyway, well chuffed Sky are showing Ireland/Oz. Hope for good weather and a full day's play.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Walt Allott reckons we'll get play about 11.30am (roughly an hour from now for non-UK readers) if there's no more rain.

 

[Spark]

Yep, confirmed

 

[stumpski]

And still 50 overs, surprising but good if that's the case.

 

[Spark]

No Patto

But Cummins (y)
