Notch to the rescue

out for 2, lol

8/284

Serious question. Is a penguin a better keeper than Matthew Wade?

Another classic Johnson dismissal. Wide and full, should have gone to the fence but instead Root drags it on to his stumps.

Not even we can lose from here, glad we got rid of Butler that guy as deadly dangerous.

Well done Shane Waston, there is no doubt he has real ability.
Looking at the England scoreboard I see two run outs on nought!

 

[IanG]

Australia won by 49 runs

They also take the series 2-1, I think its fair to say they are a better side that the English one.

 

[Different kind of Rabbit]

That English side is nowhere near the best team they could field and they still pushed us for most of the series.

We will definitely have our work cut out beating them for the Ashes back here. They have some great young talent coming through. We, on the other hand, look likely to be fielding a pace attack with Johnson as one of the spearheads.

God help us.

We looked better after spud Hughes got out, reasonable total- that said from where we were it should have been 340+ not 298. Bowled consistently, and was a solid win. That said England are a shocking ODI side.

 

[Timbo]

England's first choice ODI squad would include Broad, Anderson, Swann, Bresnan, Bell and Cook. We should take that with several grains of salt.

Even then I don't rate Cook, Bell and Bresnan much in limited overs. They're decent players but hardly world beaters. At full strength they probably have an edge over Australia but its not a huge one.

Btw: not that I dont watch TV that much, but is one of the guys in the Hahn Extra Dry ad Matthew Wade?

Did any of the aussies piss on the wicket ?

Not that we've heard. But the final match wasn't at The Oval where the pitch needed a drink
