[Will_NA]

We're still taking the powerplays with no tweaking wickets! What's the point!

David Gower made me laugh for first time today with the words

Well there's one thing I can say with glee.........'goodnight'

 

[Howsie]

Well I didn't expect anything else before checking the score on cricinfo, the England batsmen could try and look interested though. So many starts and yet no one converted it to a bigger score.

Well done to Tim Paine, this 100 would probably keep him in line to be Haddin's replacement for a long time yet.

Well one positive for the English they finally took to Hauritz. Interesting how Siddle has a good economical display when Johnson isn't around.

 

[Hooper]

T-Paine in the mother effin' buildin! Haha.

Seriously, how'd you let this guy get a hundred? And Hussey a 50? England are shocking at one day cricket.

I think our odds of winning the champions trophy are dropping by the minute...

 

[Cricketman]

Two words describe the last 8OD matches - England Suck.

 

[Hooper]

9? 6 aint it?

 

[Cricketman]

8 actually, England lost the 2 T20s too, right?

 

[Hooper]

Nope, rained out due to poor English weather as per usual.

 

[Covvy]

No, they both got rained out. This isn't good for Australia for their Champions Trophy, we need to be playing a good team for practise.

Do you guys think that both Paine and Haddin can play in the same XI?

 

[Cricketman]

Ah well. 6 it is .

I can't see Haddin and Paine tbh. Paine's too slow for ODI cricket, especially at the top of the order where Australia are used to having a guy (or two) who really gives them a rocket start.

 

[Covvy]

Paine and watto I reckon are pretty good opening partners, when neither of them get out. If Paine goes and gets a few more big scores in the Champoins Trophy the selectors would have to think to put Haddin in as a pure batsman.

 

[nikhil_99]

Aus definately here will be going for white wash, and Eng the way they are playing,it seems they have lost 7th ODI before playing...

 

[aussie1st]

Haddin isn't going that great to be considered as a batter alone and I wouldn't rate his fielding. A Haddin/Watson combo will probably work better than the Paine/Watson combo since Watson won't feel all the pressure to be the dasher. If we do keep Paine then hes going to need a player that is a natural dasher like a Warner or someone in that mould.

 

[Covvy]

That's for the future, I believe that it'll definately be Warner and Paine opening in the future.
