[aussies1st]

Good comeback by Johnson and Watson is bowling well again.

 

[The Camden Leisure Pirate]

Hopes drops a sitter 99/4.

After another quality catch by Paine.

 

[The Camden Leisure Pirate]

England crumbing...... 101/6 Last 3 wickets have fallen for 10 runs

 

[aussies1st]

Haha don't even know how the English are 6 down after 20 overs on this pitch.

 

[The Camden Leisure Pirate]

Nice 7th wicket stand by the Poms

 

[aussies1st]

Not looking good now, need to get some quick wickets.

 

[The Camden Leisure Pirate]

221/7 run rate a very healthy 5.28

 

[aussies1st]

250 up now, only need 1 wicket to keep them under 260.

 

[aussies1st]

1/61 looking good so far but our last game and what Swann did in the 7th ODI is still on my mind.

 

[aussies1st]

1/116 both Ponting and Paine passed their 50s.

 

[aussies1st]

And we are through to the final

Watson was due and boy did he deliver. He is starting to get his bowling back to a good standard also. Ponting looks awesome at the moment it is a shame we are playing the Windies and Pakis at home this summer.

 

[TheParraboy]

Stauss wins the toss yet again, he sure is a good tosser

 

[Ridders]

Too easy really. What a performance from Watson!

 

[Twizzle]

bring on the kiwis

 

[African Monkey]

We'll be too strong for your lot.

 

[Twizzle]

not if Bond breaks a a nail

 

[lockyno1]

Hottie saves Aussies again

 

[African Monkey]

not if Bond breaks a a nail

No don't start talking about sunshine and even if Bond does get injured we have more than enough cover.

AM, as long as Brendo "spunky" McCullum is there you will be fine! Him, Watson and Painey in the same match..HEAVEN!
