6th ODI: England v Australia at Nottingham, Sept 17 2009

[aussies1st]

They have made us look good in part but credit to our players they have stepped up. Ponting has comeback and looked very comfortable, Paine hasn't been troubled (only gets out throwing his wicket away), Ferguson has been his usual self. Bowling is probably where they have made us look better than we really are, so many times they have gifted us their wickets.

Congrats to Paine, well deserved 100.

 

[Ridders]

Well played Paine. Set the platform for a strong finish.

 

[aussies1st]

Yep well done Paine, hopefully these two can get us past 300.

 

[Ridders]

Doesn't it make you smile that almost everytime Holding, who i love, rips the batting team for supposedly mismanaging their batting powerplay, the batting team starts making plenty of runs.

 

[Ridders]

Well played Hopes, given us a very good score to defend.

 

[aussies1st]

296 not bad, lets hope we do a better job at defending it than the English. Hopes and White both provided good late hitting.

England's time to shine?

our boots?



111 run victory, too easy

Timmy Paine for ever

I think its a case of England making Aus look good in some parts but it is also very one sided because Australia now have a decent one day team, throw in Haddin for Paine and its a very strong ODI side, even with Paine they should go very close to winning the Champions Trophy

 

[Ridders]

Poor Strauss, that decision he copped from Rauf was a SHOCKER.
