1st ODI - Australia v England MCG Jan 16th 2011

[TheParraboy]

This time its England playing the current world champions in this format of the game

Dhussey man of the match

Australia will win

Cheers

Shaun Tait hat-trick. Final figures of 10-0. England all out for 0. Australia 9/1 after 46.5 overs, and win with 19 balls to spare. A Graeme Swann wide gives us the winning run, meaning our top scorer was...Everyone.


Alright, seriously:

* Tait (if selected) to have a blinder.

* Lee MOTM

* Finchy to smack a century

* Aussies to win by 3 wickets

Celebrating 40 years of ODI cricket with a retro theme too bad they're not donning retro kits with Australia in bright yellow and England in Sky Blue

Looking forward to seeing them commentary team in 70s Safari Suits. And headbands

Bring on the porn star Moustaches too

This is our team

Australia 1 Shane Watson, 2 Brad Haddin (wk), 3 Michael Clarke, 4 Cameron White, 5 David Hussey, 6 Michael Hussey, 7 Steven Smith, 8 Brett Lee, 9 Xavier Doherty, 10 Doug Bollinger, 11 Shaun Tait.

Aka Siddle, Johnson and Hauritz are in the WC squad.

Siddle gets a bloody good ride, he must be doing something right somewhere...

Batting order looks like being...

Watson
Haddin
Clarke
D.Hussey
White
M.Hussey
Smith
Lee
Doherty
Tait
Bollinger

Surprised White isn't batting at 3 like he did when Ponting mised first few ODIs against ENG in '09. White averaged about 60 in the 3 games.

 

[lockyno1]

If Dave Hussey plays, get on the Poms.

 

[IanG]

As everybody wonders. Who's wife did Brad Hodge stoof? Also did Hauritz do the same thing.

Toss England win and choose to bat. Paul Collingwood has been dropped.

 

[Berkeley_Eagle]

Shaun Tait has been sidelined by a back strain.

Australia
1 Shane Watson, 2 Brad Haddin (wk), 3 Michael Clarke (capt), 4 Cameron White, 5 David Hussey, 6 Michael Hussey, 7 Steve Smith, 8 Mitchell Johnson, 9 Xavier Doherty, 10 Brett Lee, 11 Doug Bollinger

England
1 Andrew Strauss (capt) 2 Steven Davies (wk), 3 Jonathan Trott, 4 Kevin Pietersen, 5 Ian Bell, 6 Eoin Morgan, 7 Michael Yardy, 8 Tim Bresnan, 9 Graeme Swann, 10 Ajmal Shahzad, 11 Chris Tremlett

probably saying something about their world cup side. Strauss was saying in the lead up to this match that series would be "awkward" because they have to pick their 15 man squad for the world cup after this match, which will mean dumping some of the guys playing in this series

 

[pantherz9103]

LOL @ the commentators. Especially Slats.

 

[hineyrulz]

Why is that Cum Dumpster Brayshaw still stinking up the commentary Box???

And FFS!! God we suck.

 

[Hallatia]

Australia are ridiculous at runouts, both with bat and ball
will never forget this one

[aussies1st]

[Berkeley_Eagle]

[Twizzle]
