*Official* England in Australia (2 T20 & 7 ODIs)

[morgieb]

Haha, England ****ed up so hard here.

 

[Spark]

Seriously what the **** was that?

That's 90s England that is.

 

[Jayzamann]

In that last replay everyone was walking all over the pitch. For shame.

 

[Spikey]

Seriously what the **** was that?

It was Watson-like

 

[Jayzamann]

o watto you fantastic gorgeous bastard

Ergh even when the umpires check for no balls when Australian wickets it irks me.

 

[Spark]

Great catch.

at the no ball check, only about four inches behind

 

[morgieb]

Any reason why England were so good at tests but so poor at ODI's?

 

[Spark]

Didn't sound like edge to me, too "soft" Top call nonetheless

They don't seem as mentally "switched on" as they did for the Ashes. There is probably something of a post-Ashes "downer" effect as well going on in the dressing room. This is in contradiction to the Australians who do look into this series 100% and are probably motivated by some payback for the test series.

The Channel 9 commentators are sure enjoying it though...

 

[TT Boy]

LOL @ Prior. Hopeless.

What speed gun are they using? Bollinger got over 150 and Hastings is 145kph+...

 

[Jayzamann]

That one stuck a bit Smithy

It makes a huge difference when batsmen converts starts in hundreds and you have an opening bowler with penetration

Plus there's also the little matter of England completely sucking at odis forever

 

[TT Boy]

Has Trott timed a ball yet? Smith is bowling genuine filth at times and he and Morgan can't time ****.

 

[TT Boy]

Finally.

Yeah, Brett Lee has bowled really well. I was surprised by the fact that Lee was picked tbh as I thought he was effectively over the hill but his bowling has been something of a revelation. He seems to have really warmed to being the leader of the bowling attack.

I know Doherty is no world beater but he has just been plain awful in Aussie colours, certainly has been bowling much better for the Tigers,

 

[morgieb]

What a catch!

 

[Spark]

Sharp catch, that was travelling.

 

[pup11]

Jeez.... that was some catch from Clarke!!

 

[Noble One]

Fair catch that!

Clarke sometimes reminds everyone that he is in the top tier of fieldsmen.
