^Why don't you know it is England VS Australia.

Anyways that was good but not excellent bowling was the stand out though openers started with mind blowing spell but just could not get Phil Hughes who wasted 152 balls which in the end was the main reason for a draw. Batting looked great until 5 wickets fell. Good effort all I can say.

[Warner Watson]

@singhb: so what if it is England vs Australia?
@Anish.: clear my doubts.

 

[Fenil]

Shane Watson's injury is blow for us. Thankfully, we have got batsmen and bowlers who can cover things up. Would have liked to see Cosgrove, who has been piling runs all over the years in domestic cricket, get a better debut then getting out on identical single figure scores.

Aussies youngsters batting way to slow which yet again was the main reason for a draw. Briggs did a good job replacing Tredwell who looked in fine form for the first game.

Like the Poms scored at 6 runs an over.

Warners was a great innings but very unlike him. Disappointed with the way Hilfy and Siddle is bowling. They just don't look as if they are World #10 and #4 bowlers respectively.

^Still look at bladdy Warner.

^Still look at bladdy Warner.

Its hard to get results in test matches in cricsim. It sims games with pretty slow run-rates.
