4th ODI: England v Australia at Chester-le-Street Durham Jul 7, 2012

[IanG]

Is it just me or has the old school type one day cricket come back with the reintroduction of the 2 new white balls?

As I type this Bailey out. Bowled by Bopara 9 off 10
Australia 4 for 68

 

[TheParraboy]

4/68 in the 22nd

Gee we miss MHussey, Maybe Dave can do something here?

 

[Hallatia]

Australia 92/4 after 32. I was knocked out before so I missed the first 30, but Australia are really being outplayed here

 

[Hallatia]

And there goes Clarke for 43 bowled.
Australia 96/5

 

[Hallatia]

And there goes Clarke for 43 bowled.
Australia 96/5

 

[Hallatia]

Wade gone caught behind first ball, Finn on a hat-trick again, Australia in all sorts

 

[Cletus]

Well this doesn't look good. We'll need a bit of rain to liven up the pitch if by some miracle we make 230.

 

[Hallatia]

I reckon there is still plenty in this pitch, if Australia start really well with the ball, it's not impossible for them to come back from this

 

[Hallatia]

wow, 50 run partnership between these two

 

[Cletus]

Some good runs in the last couple of overs. Might still make 200.

 

[Hallatia]

Australia should be very happy with a total around 200, that is defensible

 

[Hallatia]

Australia finished with exactly 200 for the loss of 9 wickets. Dussey made 70 of those. Finn the stand out bowler 4/37

 

[Cletus]

Yeah its not a bad score Hallatia. Looking forward to seeing Pattinson have a bowl.

 

[TheParraboy]

200 is a nothing score, considering our bowling attack and how the poms have accumulated runs this series. So a thumping as expected isnt a suprise

We are really in free fall from being the no1 ODI side, am expecting a 4-0 thumping, would have been 5-0 if not the weather

Blokes like Bailey and Forrest either need a heck of a lot of time to become decent international players or they are just blow ins. Sunshine and Warner dont go on with starts, leaving pressure on the newbies and Clarke

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Lmao 4 an over is a good score? South Africa A shit it in. Our batting is just terrible, so damn slow.

 

[aussies1st]

We got smoked, our batting just ain't performing at all.
