lol at the Clarke bashing. In ODIs:

Clarke Ave 42.94, SR 78.03.
Ponting Ave 42.90 SR 80.67

Scores a whopping two and a half runs less per hundred balls than arguably Australia's best ever ODI batsman.

Don't mind the Victorian mate, Hussey is the one that should be under pressure. But of course the Victorian singles out a New South Welshmen.

5 down for around 100, and we left Fergo out. Damn someone shoot the selctors please :x

5/112

poms on a roll

 

[HevyDevy]

In Australia's defence it looks like a sh*t of a wicket to bat on.

brett lee to grab a 5 for

 

[IanG]

I was about to say whats to say Australia wont skittle the poms cheaply?

Nice looking ground though. They're playing a test there in the next Ashes series in England in 2013.

Enjoying Jim Maxwell pissing himself over Joanna Lumley Castle and the Joanna end. That and his Sat Nav.

 

[IanG]

Graeme Swann has a 5 for. sh*t!

 

[IanG]

Australia 9 for 163 in the 44th Over.

Hilfy just looking to play out the over.

 

[TheParraboy]

batting powerplay taken at 9/163, lol

 

[TheParraboy]

poms need 177 to win

series will be 6-1

 

[HevyDevy]

Almost every side in the world makes a mess of these batting power plays.

How could they leave it so long?

 

[IanG]

All Out for 176. Bugger it. No Neil Broom for us.

 

[TheParraboy]

the batting powerplay should always be taken before the 35th over if your batting first imo, especially if if a few wickets have fallen or the wicket is not a batting belter. Take the opportunity to get as many runs as you can, no point waiting around.

If you have wickets in hand, you can go for broke at the end regardless if you have a powerplay or not

 

[jargan83]

Alot of the time it seems that a batting team has pre-arranged when to take the Powerplay (especially Australia) which sh*ts me off no end

 

[IanG]

Q: How many No Balls has Brett Lee Bowled in this series?
A: 2 Many

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

Nice beamer!

 

[TheParraboy]

poms in cruise control

we need to bowl spin at both ends

Yeah I heard them say it'd make sence to take the batting Power Play when they change the ball.

Lol wtf i just wake up and i find England are only chasing 176.

England will win this game but i gotta give a shout out to Bopara, my new favourite England cricketer. Dead set this guy nearly won us the Ashes and has continued his form into the ODI's.
