2nd ODI - Australia v England, Hobart Jan 21 2011

[aussies1st]

Guess that would explain why he was only named for 3 matches although I'm sure Hussey is out of this series.

 

[Twizzle]

Huss had to have surgery on his hamstring and may miss the WC, makes you wonder even if he was OK, would his fitness be up to it ?

 

[aussies1st]

Johnson is out of this match, lets see how we go without his crazy bowling.

 

[Berkeley_Eagle]

Strauss won the toss and sent Australia in to bat.

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


England 1 Andrew Strauss (capt), 2 Matt Prior (wk), 3 Jonathan Trott, 4 Kevin Pietersen, 5 Ian Bell, 6 Eoin Morgan, 7 Michael Yardy, 8 Tim Bresnan, 9 James Tredwell, 10 Chris Tremlett, 11 Ajmal Shahzad.

Lee and Tait together, if they work well together that will go a long way to both starting in the WC. Hopefully Marsh doesn't play like he did in his last innings.

Still can't believe Marsh is in the squad ahead of Ferguson

 

[Timbo]

Well, we're screwed.

 

[aussies1st]

Big test with Watson failing.

 

[Danish]

Don't expect more than 30 runs to be scored in the first 10 overs with Clarke in for the majority of them

 

[saint_marto88]

30 runs for not many wickets isn't a bad thing looking at the wicket early.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Watson's technique failing him again when the ball is in the doorway of doom or whatever the hell Damien Fleming wants to call it.

 

[aussies1st]

Losing 2 wickets isn't good though.

 

[saint_marto88]

"Corridor of uncertainty"

 

[Timbo]

Shazad is moving it a hell of a long way. Would not like to be batting out there right now.

 

[aussies1st]

Interesting show of aggression from Clarke.

 

[saint_marto88]

He's boring though

 

[aussies1st]

Geez

 

[Matt23]

...here we go again :roll:

 

[beads6]

Clarke, gone hitting in the air again. Just in such bad form.
