It's a good thing Cameron sh*te wasted plenty of overs we wouldn't want to have a chance to win this game would we :roll:
Captain Victorian's been one of England's best tonight #-o
...can we please have Ferguson or someone useful bought in so Captain Victorian can be "rested"

England win, no thanks to White's scratching around, and poor bowling

Captain clueless Clarke cost us that one. Not only can't he bat for shiite he couldn't see that it was a slow bowlers pitch until too late.

Dussey and Smith got 7 wickets between them yet only 11 overs between them. That was the 30 run difference. f**k off useless clarke >>>

Still a good total batting second but not good enough to win. A road in Adelaide. Brett Lee was too expensive today (1 for 68 off 8 overs)

England 299/8 (50 ov)
J.Trott 102(126)
M.Prior 67 (58)
D.Hussey 4 for 21 94 overs)
S.Smith 3 for 33 (7 overs)

Australia 278/7 (50.0 ov)
S.Watson 64(72)
S.Smith 46(47) no
J.Trott 2 for 31 (7 overs)
J.Anderson 2 for 57 (10 overs)

England won by 21 runs
Man Of The Match: Jonothan Trott 102 and 2 for 31

Clarke is hopeless, needs to go back to state cricket and get some kind of form back and he can take captain Victorian with him. Smith and Hussey both needed to bowl more overs but Clarke was clueless

I don't understand what is with Australian captains all Summer under-using Smith and even Watson.

Strauss on the other hand I thought did an excellent job captaining his side today, the way he used Trott with the ball was superb. The coach and selectors also did a good job with their persistence with a few of the guys. sometimes guys don't deserve to be in a side, but other times there are reasons why they are there and selectors should not be letting a couple of bad knocks make them forget those reasons. England camp did really well with this one and thoroughly deserved the victory.

Clarke has been guaranteed his place for this series and the world cup, so he wont be dropped anytime soon. Some more failures in this CBA series and he probably doesnt deserve to go to the world cup, imo, but will be there regardless.
