***Official*** NatWest Series/Challenge

Good line from Vaughan. Maybe a case for giving KP an over or two instead of Colly who Hussey is milking a bit?

 

[Demolition Man]

Solanki on - interesting......

Could be a costly move.

 

[aussie]

And that one he caught with his lip in the nets in the West Indies the year before last - that was a belter.

Jonty Rhodes catch againts West Indies in Jamaica in 2001 to dismiss Lara tops Collingwood's catch

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Shot.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Hmm. Ok-ish over from Vikram, but does look as if he has a tendency to drop a bit short.

 

[PY]

Says something that he's being compared to the best fielder of modern times, maybe ever though Randall might have something to say about it.

 

[Demolition Man]

ouch clarke six , 50 patnership

 

[aussie]

Not so much these days though - he's around 78-80mph most of the time isn't he?

yeah but what i am saying he still has the ability to bowl the odd delivery at 85 mph

 

[luckyeddie]

I'm really beginning to like the look of Michael Clarke. Actually, to tell the truth I've always liked him.

 

[aussie]

ohhhhhhh well Vaughan is lucky their that could have been six more

 

[aussie]

SHOT!! Hussey great improvisation

I wasn't really sure to be honest - haven't seen much of him in a while, I'll take your word for it.

Still think it's fairly impressive for a 16-year-old to bowl at 82mph, though, I'm sure you'll agree.

 

[superkingdave]

These two are playing very well

Whats more impressive is that he has been measured using a professional speed camera, to actually set one up correctly is rare, maybe he borrowed that one the pakistani supporter brought to the ground that day shoaib broke the speed record but it was not official as the camera was dodgy....

 

[Barney Rubble]

I think they're playing no better than they'd be expected to against bowlers of the quality of Collingwood, Vaughan and Solanki!

 

[auscricket]

Yay, we're rebuilding well with Hussey and Clarke. We've just looked very edgy this whole match, reminds me of the VB Series with NZ and RSA in 2002, just not playing with confidence.

 

[aussie]

These two are playing very well

so so true has i type Hussey plays a lovely drive of Freddie and now this looks like th Australia i know who is showing their old ability to get themselves out tight situations

 

[BoyBrumby]

Hussey is playing a little gem of an innings, especially in the context of the game. Letting anything wide from Fred go, but stroked it thru extra cover beautifully when Fred overpitched.

sounds impressive but i would want to face him or see him bowl

 

[Slow Love™]

Doing very nicely here, Clarke and Hussey - not doing anything stupid and picking off the bad balls. And Hussey's not looked anything other than in complete control. This game ain't over yet, even if Australia are most likely going to have to settle for something of a moderate target (although I don't think that 280+ is entirely out of the question yet).

I wonder if Vaughan might bring Harmison back for an over or so very soon.
