I think it is time Australia took England seriously, Jarrad! Im not saying we will win the one dayers/tests this easily, but at least this proves we can be taken seriously!!

may be they were surprised by how seriously England took this festival game :)

I think Australia took Engkand very lightly in this game. They did not expect fierce competiveness from England. I think they will be fired up for the Natwest Series.

Twenty20 is a sort of game where a team does not have time to get over their mistakes and rebuild the innings. 50 over match gives ample time for a team to rebuild after initial setbacks. Thats what happened in WC2003, Australia were 135/8 chasing 208 (i think), but Bichel and ?? regrouped and rebuilt the innings to win the match for Australia.

From our POV or Australias.

You create your own luck.

Why the heck was K. Pitersen the Man of the Match?? Why was P. Collingwood not Man of the Match. He top scored in the match with 46 runs (26b, 5x4's , 2x6's) and took 2 wickets for 8 runs! :what :mad

Agreed there rahulk. I was surprised Colly didn't get the award, as when he came in England were wobbling a bit; he steadied the innings and then played some superb, improvised shots towards the end (Gillespie couldn't believe he kept getting swept:D ). I guess Pietersen was on his home ground though...keep the locals happy etc.
Talking of improvisation, anyone remember Strauss' sweep-cum-chip like shot from outside off, over fine leg for 4 (again off Gillespie I think?). Great stuff :D .
Down to the real stuff now though, when I'm sure Aus will come powering back.
 
Can anywone please explane what it means with free hit? =P Is it a part of the game that you have to face or something?

After bowling a no-ball, the next delivery is a free hit. The batsman can only be run out, not bowled, lbw, caught, stumped, or anything else.

It applies in Twenty20 cricket, and in English domestic one day cricket. It isn't yet part of ODIs, although I'd like to see it.

apparantly the mom was awarded based on text voting..so may be pietersen has more fan following for his batting or hair style. :eek:
 
wow... that's cool :D
I don't hope this comes in the Odi, then Pakistan would be in deep ****.. especially mohamamd sami :p

They've gone and lost to Somerset now. Australia are having a terrible tour.
I hope BLIC isn't as bad as this.
