*Official* Australia in England T20s and ODIs

[King Pietersen]

This has gone downhill rapidly. Only going at 4.61 an over now after a very good start. 300 is looking par on this track, but this'll be typical England and we'll scrape our way to 240.

What a surprise. Prior 5 from 16 deliveries. Just get out please. Morgan would be so much more effective at 4, actually a decent player of spin bowling.

 

[TT Boy]

Yeah, you can't fault Strauss since coming back into the fold. Been averaging over 40 and going at a good S/R. Be nice if he converted one of those half-centuries into a century.

 

[King Pietersen]

FFS Strauss you muppet. Now we're left watching Prior and Shah scrap around until both chucking their wickets away. We're so screwed. 4-0 Australia.

 

[TT Boy]

England don't play enough limited overs cricket. Sigh, such a clichéd excuse. Trust Botham to bring it up. England play far more domestic limited overs cricket than South Africa and Australia.

 

[Scaly piscine]

England making Hauritz look like a world beater again. Top stuff.

 

[King Pietersen]

I would say he should be moaning about the selectors not picking the right players, but he doesn't watch enough County Cricket to have an idea about who's actually worth picking. Hence him suggesting Blackwell and Mustard in the last game.

We really miss Pietersen.

 

[Pizzorno]

England in throwing away a good start shocker. This is a 300+ pitch no matter what anyone says.

 

[Noble One]

Really top bowling from Hauritz. Such an effective OD bowler when he is prepared to toss the ball up. He will never win Australia many games off the back of his own bowling, but he fills a vital void in the Australian ODI team since the departure of Brad Hogg.

After this terrible captaincy I'm convinced Ponting should step down as captain, even if he's batting suffers. It's not worth it anymore to lose another series.

 

[TT Boy]

Australia have bowled countless no-balls in this series but I can't recall England ever taking advantage of one of them.

 

[Sylvester]

Must say Hauritz has improved a lot since last year. Good thing the English left out Swann.

 

[GIMH]

No Swann, say what

 

[King Pietersen]

Australia have bowled countless no-balls in this series but I can't recall England ever taking advantage of one of them.

Denly hit one of Lee's for 4 this morning.

Really need to take the batting powerplay now. We won't, we'll leave it till the 42nd over, when Bresnan and Sidebottom are at the crease, but we really should be taking it now, with these 2 settled and with us really needing to up the pace.

 

[Sylvester]

And kept Bresnan whose batting at 10, wtf!

 

[Jakester1288]

Amazing ball from Lee!

 

[Sylvester]

There goes Prior, what a yorker by Lee bit of reverse swing.

 

[pasag]

fmd, that was a beautiful delivery from Lee.

 

[GIMH]

Switched on 20 overs in and was pleasantly surprised. Put the kids down for afternoon nap, sorted a couple of things out, all of a sudden we're going at about a run every three days

 

[AlanJLegend]

Lets not kid ourselves here;

England will somehow manage to get around 240. Australia will chase it down off 40-odd overs. Clarke will score at a strike rate of around 70 while his partner slogs away, and everybody will once again be on his case.

I've said it before I'll ssay it again, Hilfe in for Broken.
