2nd ODI: Australia v England at Hobart

[WORLD CHAMPIONS]

It seems Australia won't even bat out the 50 overs.

We will not even go for batting powerplay

 

[ZexyZahid]

Actually they just took the batting powerplay.

Is England bowling that great or is Australia batting that bad?

 

[aussie1st]

Marsh may as well play like he does in T20, these two guys won't be staying around for long.

Poor batting, all the wickets have been through batsmen error maybe apart from Lee. England have bowled well as usual though and kept the pressure on with tight bowling.

 

[WORLD CHAMPIONS]

Finally, the batting powerplay has been taken. If both of them survive the powerplay, it will be a miracleeeeee.

 

[ZexyZahid]

Marsh just took a single in a batting powerplay, while at the other end is Bollinger.

How about not taking the single and hitting boundaries. Especially if there are already 8 wickets fallen.

On cricinfo I am reading that each team has two umpire reviews left. But somewhere in a recent thread somebody mentioned there was only going to be 1.

So what is it? One or two umpiring reviews?

I think trying to cut a ball off the stumps with no footwork against a left arm spinner who is known not to spin the ball counts as a batting error.

Shahzad needs to angle his run a bit more when bowling to left handers to stop bowling these wides down legside (a bit like Ntini), he should run in aiming more towards where a first slip would be for a left hander.
Leaping out wide on the crease at the last moment is no solution, it just results in him losing balance and falling over to his left and bowling even more wides.

Looking at Prior, Eng's kit looks better without name and number. That means they should try a better font.

Pretty sure it is one else we would see more reckless ones thrown in there.
Bollinger batting better than most of our batsmen today, oh the shame.

Hmmm Shahzad is struggling to the lefties, too bad we only have 1 this series!

 

[Roofrom50]

9 overs to go, what would Australia be looking to make 220 if Marsh takes most of the strike?

 

[angryangy]

I'd still say 250 is the aim if they manage to bat out 50.

 

[McLOVIN]

Dougy kinda looks like Gilly with the bat. No joke. All he needs is some Puma stuff, and he could pass for Gilly.

 

[WORLD CHAMPIONS]

Dougie is batting quite good SIX !! Finally Marsh getting his moves.

 

[ZexyZahid]

The player, that not is selected for the World Cup, is making the runs.

 

[aussie1st]

Doug now using his feet against the spinner, gotta be the best hes ever batted.

 

[McLOVIN]

Fuzz the Johnson. Keep it going DB!
