Bring on Monty!

Why? you want these runs to be chased down soon do you

 

[aussie1st]

We still have Hogg and Lee.....

Rather we don't need them for a long long time. Way too many runs for them to get at this stage.

I wont name names and I know australia's more than likely not going to win..but geeeeeezzzz i would love to see a miracle..considering some of the over excited comments being made about England

 

[mattfb]

I believe that we are still a chance. Hodge is in great form, he just needs to believe that he can play at this level, and is starting to, and Watson can build an innings here, which is what he is more suited to, instead of the late innings slog, which his position forces him to. Hogg is in good form with the bat, and Lee has gotten us out of trouble in the past, so not all hope is lost.

Yea i kno we are a chance if these two bat until at least the 35th over cuz like you said Hogg is in form and Lee can slog.

I remember in the Natwest series final in 2005, we destroyed the English top order for 5-33 and then Paul Collingwood and "Geraint" Jones saved England into a tie.

I'd like to see us beat England just to see the look on Nixon's face.

dont remind me, i was staying up watching that then feel asleep when they were 5-33 and woke up and saw they were 6-144 and i was like WTF!!?!

Very nice shot there from Watson. The anxiety lessens.

Exactly. Where's this been the past 3 months?

 

[aussie1st]

Then gets beaten the next ball the anxiety increases again
Hes looking solid at least, his test will come as I said when Monty comes on.

 

[mattfb]

The anxiety lessens by four runs

 

[brad352]

Most useless powerplay ever

 

[angryangy]

8 runs in the end. Classy shots.

Ian Howell reminds me of Krang's exosuit in TMNT.

 

[Leicester Fox]

Time for captain super fred to clean up now Hodge looks in cracking form. where's monty!!he will turbanate australias hopes

 

[mattfb]

Good shot Watson! an edge that didn't carry and got runs for it

 

[aussie_ben91]

Watson's got a Matty Hayden feel about him as a batsman. Big & Strong but he probably doesn't have the natural attacking nature though.
