This is England's champions trophy.

Watson you dolt, why you cannot bowl nornmal deliveries :

This will be a close match, 250+ is a competitive total, all depend on England. No Broad

Paine gets his 7th dismissal, 257 is still competitive if England get a few early wickets to expose our middle order.

Anderson probably likes batting with Monty. Onions never looked comfortable in running.

257 I think is 15-20 runs light.

 

[WORLD CHAMPIONS]

Our target should have been 158 not 258 : bunch of poodles can't even take out lower order batsmen

 

[Brook]

Aus don't seem to make plans for lower order batsmen, they were all over the top order.

Also should be comfortable if they get a good start.

Speeds for that innings. Interesting to note that the Aussies have 4 bowlers bowling 150kph including Lee with one ball at 154.3.

 

[Themer]

Should be an easyish chace unless Onions and Anderson get us off to a flier.

 

[Brook]

On the subject of jinxes, I predict a Watson hundred.

 

[The_gas]

I agree with Crofty. I like Denly, i know he has not gone on yet but he looks good. (not bell looking good either). It took tresco 18 games to get his first hundred. Give Denly more time. Maybe Kev will agree...
