we're back! I said we'd win the world cup all the way and my prediction is coming good.

You won't win it, assuming my house survives this game I'll happily put it on that

 

[Leicester Fox]

we've got as good a chance as anyone else

 

[Damo01]

I hoping Hussey and Hodge will make a big partnership going..

Another cracking pull shot by Hodge for 4, geez hes got a good pull shot on him as that ball flys off the bat.
There we go now a cracking cover drive, and now the flick of the pads. Looking good so far for Hodge.

Thats very optimistic

 

[Leicester Fox]

we're beating the world number 1's for the third time in a row without our captain,best batsmen and best odi bowler

Now Brad Hodge is starting to take Liam Plunkett apart. Take that you poms!

 

[evertonfan]

All these wickets for Plunkett are masking the fact that he's been wayward on the whole today. If he keeps gifting boundaries to the batsmen like this then he's going to make the victory a cakewalk from here. I honestly can't see England winning this game; They are in that mood were they think the game is already in the bag when in fact, Australia are favourites.

Talk about pessimism.

 

[Leicester Fox]

i wouldn't expect anything else from Plunkett. He can be really expensive but takes wickets so we need someone with control to back him up at the other end

So that makes you great? India has beaten us plenty of times too heck Bangladesh beat us you guyz are playing great but a few good games cant be a to much of a judge.
Hodgey is on fire

 

[aussie1st]

OMG there goes that game, not even Hussey can save us out for a duck

 

[kodos]

Mr. Cricket's a goner Freddie you beauty

And that someone is..... Freddie Flintoff! Your wish is granted Joe

 

[aussie_ben91]

Time for Watson to show why he averages 50 in First-Class cricket.

It happens. Australia are capable of having off-days you know. We are just lucky to have taken advantage of one of them.

See, we are appalling. Hussey gets himself out. :o
