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

[Top_Cat]

Some seriously ordinary cricket from OZ here. Lee gives up yet another wicket of a no-ball (would be interested in how many wickets he's cost with **** like that), Johnson bowls dross and Haddin misses two stumpings (been ordinary with the gloves the summer, hasn't he?).

Just basic skill failures here.

 

[Noble One]

How will Australia score any greater than four an over against Yardy and Swann? Massive task on this surface.

Loving Hussey taking wickets. You can understand on sub-continent wickets why the selectors will go Duss over Marsh and Ferguson.

 

[Spark]

At last.

 

[Bun]

Thats it

Infinitely better bowling from Lee/Doherty here.

Mark Taylor one of the few people to (finally) realise why a bloke who barely plays any cricket any more pulls up sore after ****-all overs.

On this timeline, next step will occur some time after they've lost the WC where someone will ask why he was getting picked in the first place.

Doherty is not remotely in the same class as Hauritz as a cricketer

Truly farcical that he's been given so many games this summer

 

[Spark]

Nice.

 

[Jayzamann]

lol Smith

 

[Burgey]

Bell gone, great player though he unquestionably is

 

[Spark]

Smithy! Doing the business.

Exactly why me and others have been talking him up in short forms. Goes for a few, but takes a few as well.

 

[Spark]

My goodness. Brad Akmal.

 

[Jayzamann]

Again, seriously?

 

[Burgey]

Happy with that - Morgan and Pietersen together is a nightmare.

Oh FFS Haddin!! Come on now. This is terrible. A monty to make a first baller here.

He completes that stumping we're a big chance to bowl them out.

Instead he hits two sixes in a row. Hang your head Brad.

 

[Spark]

That a catch, too?

 

[Bun]

Haddin WAC

 

[Spark]

That's a huge hit.

 

[TumTum]

As I was saying, Haddin is cow poo keeping to spin.

 

[andyc]

Should've had Pietersen for handling the ball there after that missed stumping tbh. Was still standing way out of his crease when he picked the ball and threw it back to the bowler.

 

[Spark]

FFS that stumping is already looking painful.
