Australian ODI tour of the United Kingdom and Ireland, June-July 2010

[Robelinda]

These are the runs to be had when Clarke isnt batting in the final 10. A bit embarrassing when Marsh comes in to bat in a complete new role and crashes sixes around, his innings was the one which completely changed the tempo of our innings, he didnt come in and just hit singles and leave the hitting to Hussey.

Very much agreed.

Hussey and Marsh

Well another ODI that England might win despite including the two passengers.

Bresnan 8-0-27-0 - but where are the wickets?
Wright 6-0-32-0 - whoever says he is in the side to bat should tell England that, and tell him how to!

Tidy enough, but four an over for no wicket just means the other overs the aussies can press on. That said Anderson has had one of his poor games, Swann may well have done enough to give England a chance by getting key wickets while Broad has also taken out danger men. Broad aside, who is going to pose a threat at the death and why has the captain not bowled out Swann?!?!? Risky having him bowling in the last 10 overs, another c*ck up in captaincy

Owzat added 3 Minutes and 4 Seconds later...



I think you may well get 230-240, maybe more. England have to either bowl Anderson, Bresnan or Swann at the death and two set batsmen may well take a few overs of 10+ runs. The two at the crease are going at a run a ball, so you should add around 50. Might want to push on a bit though, make use of wickets in hand. For me having six in hand for the last four is about par for the course, allows you some acceleration with every chance of batting out the 50 without having to avoid losing wickets ie not take chances

They showed his bowling stats for the series, something like 1 @ 236, with an economy rate of 5.62.

100.1 mph

holy sh**t tait 100 mph

 

[angryangy]

Could have been a false reading, though. Speed guns aren't perfect unless they're aligned with the path of the ball, which of course varies.

 

[King Pietersen]

Bollinger's readings seemed to be as you'd expect, so I don't reckon it would have been too far off. Cricinfo read it at 97mph, but I believe their speed gun is calculated at a slightly different point after release. Tait's definitely bowling genuinely quickly here though, not seen 1 ball under 92mph yet.

 

[ajdude]

Yeah it didn't look as fast as the one he bowled earlier in the year, wouldn't everyone be fapping about him pretty much equaling Akhtar's record? 160.9, 161.1, close enough hahaha.

 

[TumTum]

Kieswetter looks worse than Paine.

 

[Mike23]

What's the deal with these 1/2 over spells?

 

[angryangy]

So does strauss tbh

 

[Mike23]

What a beauty from Tait!

 

[Themer]

Bloody missed the 100.1mph delivery. I doubt that the speed gun is wrong, the chances of the gun giving the wrong speed are incredibly low and its not like any other bowler has been significantly over their normal speeds.

Damn him, Strauss gone.

 

[darthlewis1]

god he's on the form of his life, frightening stuff!

 

[Themer]

Woah Tait is looking dangerous but why Yardy came in at this time I do not know.
