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

By not getting out, and getting off strike. That's basically it.

I'm not saying it was a good innings, but if we lose this, with an RRR of 7 when he got out, there'll be much bigger culprits than him
Mate, you in your own admission are a Clarke fanboy, but despite that its amazing that even you can find any positives in Clarke's innings today.
For me Clarke bats with a lot of fear in LO cricket, and you just can't play like that in a LO game. Getting off to a slow start is fine as long as you have big shots to make up for that later, Clarke certainly doesn't have any and therefore he can't afford to play as many dots as he does.

Bresnan is a ******. How bad are those last two balls.

Idiot. England don't deserve to win this. So rubbish.

Feel for Bresnan there. Did the umps even signal after the wide that it counted as a bouncer?

Didn't say it was a good innings, just not a matchlosing one.

What the hell are England doing? FFS this is subscribing to the Johnson school of death bowling

Wides, drops and no balls at this stage of the game. No way do England deserve to win this now.

Edit: Four. Just as well because it's over.

Don't get this. Thought England were good yorker merchants, there's just way too much room out there for a bouncer tactic to work.

Watson. One man cricket team he is.
