Well if Hopes wants an opportunity to show he can bat at this level... here it is.

 

[Athlai]

Parnell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Might have as well opened.

 

[Evermind]

Parnell is brilliant!

First I'm seeing of this guy. Gets good pace, good swing and great movement off the pitch. That MHussey LBW was the most plumb I've ever seen.

Yeah, I'm shaking with excitement at the prosepct of wathcing him score 35 off 96

Send Jonners in and let him have a swing

If he comes off, good

If not, declare and go to the beach

 

[Shri]

Guess thats how the Oz side is feeling atm.

How did England escape?=/

Englands lowest score is 86

Against Australia in 2001

Australia will do to be without Micheal Clarke in the side. Shaun Marsh or even Dave Warner can be safely expected to put in better performances than this guy. I have no clue why selectors keep picking him in ODIs despite his record in the last two years.

 

[Manee]

Australia have two makeshift openers and it is a disaster - why Hopes is not opening is beyond me.

 

[Evermind]

How awesome is this!

I agree with Jono (can't see myself saying that too often).

Wow, an Australian now into double figures.

 

[oitoitoi]

Wtf, turned the tv on and it's 35/5, game over son. Glad I missed the start of the match, probably would have lost me a lot of money! Australia getthing whipped, awesome. I hope some English fans are watching, never mind Stuart Broad, this Parnell is a prospect and a half. Love that he's already swinging it back into the right hander. He's got more pace than I previously thought. He and Steyn could form a great opening partnership. Shot selection by Australia has been absolutely hideous.

 

[pasag]

Am enjoying this as well.

 

[four_or_six]

I hope SA can really go for the kill now. I think they've let the Aussies off the hook a couple of times recently.

 

[Jono]

I agree with Jono (can't see myself saying that too often).

Whilst seeing Australia collapse is obviously enjoyable, seeing any team (obviously except the one you support, but even then) in the modern game crushed by swing bowling is great fun.

But crushed would be 4-60. 6-40 is just downright funny.

 

[oitoitoi]

What do you think Aus > 120?
