Group A - Australia, Netherlands, Scotland, South Africa

[aussie1st]

Hayden slowing down of late could have got the quickest 50 if he kept on going.

77 for none off the first 10 overs. Hayden on 45

Nice start but have to keep going

 

[aussie1st]

Both openers are slowing down Was hoping they would try going the tonk the whole inns.

3rd six of the game

 

[aussie_ben91]

Just as you speak, one goes whisling over the mid-on boundary for six!

C'mon Hayden, pick up another half-a-ton.

I'm pretty sure the same things were said when they racked up over 400 against the Saffers last time

Mind you Australia were only 90 off 15 overs in that game.

 

[Ponting_14]

What a shot, 50 for Hayden!!!

 

[cricket doctor]

Looks like Johansburg record is going to be broken today, if they continue like this.

 

[aussie1st]

Good shot by Hayden to bring up his 50. Still not enough power hitting for my liking in this powerplay. We can slow down during the 20 over mark if we have to.

 

[aussie_ben91]

It looks like their playing backyard cricket now.

Hayden nearing 5000 ODI runs.

 

[aussie1st]

There we go more of that, 4 and 6 from Hayden. Now for Gilly to start catching up to Hayden

 

[aussie_ben91]

Gilchrist is playing the "Katich role" which has been labelled as Hayden's job. :

And to think you people wanted Hayden dropped.

 

[manee]

If these two bat till Australia reach 200, Australia will definately break the record score.

I'm pretty sure the same things were said when they racked up over 400 against the Saffers last time

They are doing the natural thing and attempting to score more than 438.

Gone, good catch and the rate will drop now.

 

[Jaztheman]

wow great batting by aussies

 

[Ponting_14]

Gilchrist out!!!
