England in Australia

[aussie1st]

Australia off to a quick fire start but quite a few edges from Langer and now Hayden. Harmison already taken out after his expensive start.

Poor start from England with Harmison rushed out of the attack.
Hoggard is keeping it tight at one end but runs from the other end.

England trying to get the ball changed already lol. Thats a bad sign suggesting there isn't much swing, could be a real long day for the English.

Might very well see one of those 200+ partnerships put on by Hayden & Langer.

At the moment it's like watching a ODI!

 

[aussie1st]

As long as the Aussies don't play a stupid shot they will be fine, England aren't attacking us which will be their down fall. Commentators are making a good point they should have being trying to test Langer with a few bouncers.

Anyone know that guy whos carrying out the drinks? He was standing next to Mitchell Johnson when the national anthem was being sung.

 

[aussie1st]

Missed the anthems so don't really know.

Outfield looks a bit slow, that last hit by Langer should have gone for a 4.

What a great start of Australia. 47 runs of the first 10 overs. Especially of Langer. Are there still people saying he plays too slow? :

 

[aussie1st]

Flintoff on, here we go
I'm sure Langer will be getting a few short ones from the captain.

Nah they have moved on to hes too old

 

[ZexyZahid]

I prefer quality above age. 12 more runs and Langer will get his fifty.

 

[RoboRocks]

Australia have not been threatened at all.
England are on the back foot already

 

[aussie1st]

Flintoff bouncer did test out Langer so surely that must be a sign that they must do that more often. Anderson has been bowling alright so far hasn't given too much to hit.

Interesting new technology nine has brought out in that hot spot camera. Now we will know if the ball has touched the bat quite conclusively.

 

[RoboRocks]

Wow I am surprised of the Englans support.
I though that the ground would be filled with Australians but the BarmyArmy is there.
We need all the support we can get at the minute.

Great 50 by Langer, took on the English early on then settled back into what he normally does.

Hayden out, good bowling by Flintoff.
