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

Really enjoyed the game tonight, great entertainment - being a neutral, was almost hoping it went down to a Super Over! Sensational effort from Watson despite finishing on the losing team. I'm sure someone with the stats will be able to confirm, but is this the first instance of a player taking four wickets and scoring a 50 in a T20 international?

Watto so good in interviews. Loved the facial hair aswell.
Yeah i'm not gonna lie, I hated Watto before this tour. But after seeing the way he conducts himself to the press and in interviews and such I really am developing a soft spot for him. It helps that he's given us a few comedy moments as well, ie, "Awwwww no!" :laugh:

Almost all our players are like that really.

You gotta say though that Watson was a one-man team. Johnson probably the next best performer, and that's saying a lot. Not sure why Smith didn't get an over.

Well when basically everyone else was OK (Johnson) to just rank poor, then you don't
It's just a massive tactical problem they've had for quite a while. They bat far too negatively and as a result don't make anywhere near full use of their resources. I thought losing Clarke from the side would have helped more than it did.

Dave Hussey took Clarke's place in the team in more ways than one.

I'm hoping the problem might go away as White makes the team more his own, though.

Which of the top five do you not consider a batsman? Davies? Harsh I reckon; has a case to play in this team as a batsman alone tbh.
I meant specialist batsmen. As Davis is a keeper batsman he doesnt qualify as a specialist. TBF, given Collingwood has a fair haul of T20 wickets then you could argue England only played 3 specialist batsman. That is dangerous and there is no need for 7 bowlers. Got a little lucky today but Wright really needs to **** off quickly
