Story Ashes 2006/7 [c2005] Warm-up OD Game

[tjh1989]

Australia v England
2nd 3MOBILE Test, 2006
Perth, Western Australia, W.A.C.A
26,27,28,29,30th Nov (Test Match)

Umpires: Steve Bucknor & Billy Bowden
Toss: Australia (Bat)
Day 1 11:00am

Cook and Anderson play as Mahmood and Vaughan miss out

After a close first test the second test finally begins. Australia won the toss for the second time and chose to bat on what looks to be a typical perth wicket, fast and bouncy. England who have suffered the loss of Vaughan have selected Cook ahead of Bell, though Bell seemed a better candidate, the selectors obviously have faith in Cooks ability. Mahmood also misses out with Anderson taking his place. It seems an unusal selection on such a wicket but poor form from Plunkett and Mahmood has prompted his selection. For the Australians theres just the one changed of Clarke for Symonds.
SQUADS LINEUPS

M.Trescothick - J.Langer

A.Strauss - M.Hayden

A.Cook - R.Ponting (Capt.)

K.Pietersen - D.Martyn

A.Flintoff (Capt.) - M.Clarke

P.Collingwood - M.Hussey

A.Read (Wkt.) - A.Gilchrist (Wkt.)

M.Hoggard - S.Warne

J.Anderson - B.Lee

S.Harmison - S.Clark

M.Panesar - G.Mcgrath

D.Gower- England will look to build on there opening performance. Harmison should be a handful for the Aussies but if he gets carried away with the bounce could become costly.

I.Botham- Again the Australins have aquired first use of this stunning Perth wicket. 400 is a must and anything below is not good enough, it will be interesting how this match pans out.

[Left_Hander]

Punk, Australia won the first test by 1 wicket (if my memory serves me correct). This is the second test.

Day 1 Lunch 1.00pm

Langer and Ponting punish England
Australia 105-1 (27.0 overs)

Australia have started well in this second test with them amassing 105 in the opening session. Langer has passed his fifty and has looked out standing. Meanwhile Hayden has fell early again after Hoggard found the edge with a good mix of swinging deliveries. This perth wicket is looking better and better so there should be plenty of runs available.

D.Gower- Not the ideal start for England with onlr a few good, testing deliveries. England need a good session to ensure the runs dont pile on.

Australia lead by 105 runs

 

[Jaztheman]

England need good over now
