Australia vs England ODI Series - 7 matches - Sep 4 to Sep 20

[aussie1st]

Watson :hpraise Hes always been handy with the ball just needed more overs under his belt. Prior again fails to deliver at 3.

 

[Themer]

I think it's time that Bopara is kept away from the team for a season or so he's been dreadful the whole summer against Australia.

It's also time to give up on Prior as England's ODI keeper as Foster can bat better than Prior has done at this level and is a far supreme wicket keeper.-

 

[Hooper]

Freddie Watson!

 

[evertonfan]

Why isn't Steven Davies our ODI wicketkeeper?

 

[aussie1st]

Hauritz again picks up one of the big wickets, Strauss was looking good for a biggie. Shah has been good so far, playing Hauritz very well.

 

[Themer]

Strauss (C)
Davies (W)
Trott
O Shah
Collingwood
Morgan
L Wright
Rashid
Swann
Anderson
Sidebottom

I'd much prefer us to be going in with this team in this match.

Themer added 2 Minutes and 24 Seconds later...

What a calamity that was, we've ruined what was a great start now with losing silly wickets.

 

[Ollie_H]

maybe Shah doesn't understand English?

 

[aussie1st]

Good to see we aren't the only ones that make silly run outs.

 

[Sureshot]

Just too bad Lee can't solve his no ball problems. I haven't seen one free hit given by the English but already we have seen 1 by us. This is England's game to lose from here, there is absolutely nothing in this wicket and as usual I can't see where our next wicket is coming from.

Sly, go get a job!

------

The Shah wicket was a shambles. Strauss outdone by a bit of turn, Ravi missed a straight one and Prior played a slightly loose shot.

I think Colly looks in good nick, and definitely has his 'I'm going to do this' face on. Morgan could be dangerous too, the Aussies won't know much about him. Good player. Still got Wright, Bresnan and Swann to come. But I'd rather not leave those three any more than 80 from 15.

Ironically its Australia with the upper hand in the ODI series, because going into the series ours was getting ever more fragile.

Ferguson = GOD.
Watson = Awesome opener now.

 

[Howsie]

When did Watson get his pace back? He wasn't bowling anything near this speed in the test matches, and in the T20 WC his pace was in the mid 120's.

Bopara has to go though, he offers nothing for England at the top of the innings. Get rid of Prior to and bring in Davies, Prior's just not a good enough one day batsmen.

 

[aussie1st]

Watson just needed a few more games under his belt, he probably would quit bowling if he was stuck in the 120s as he likes to be a front line bowler.

Game in the balance, we really need Collingwood but Wright will do.

 

[Themer]

Without wanting to jinx him Wright's looking quite good out there at the moment.

This is going to be hard from here Colly needs to stick in there and be there at the end for England to anchor this innings or we will be struggling.

 

[WORLD CHAMPIONS]

We neeed few wickets in a row, now

 

[dajesmac]

Hmm, games firmly in England's hands.
