Good bowling Trev to restrict them to that total, I will try my best to chase that total down

Cracking story developing between you two. Although Trev deserves high praise for his quality work, please remember that this is a joint effort and Culli deserves just as much praise too.

Yes thanks for that Evo
Culli will do his best now he has to chase down this total of 265 at 5.32 an over

nice competative total from australia
go england!!!!

Ian Chappell: Well England have started off steadily so far in this 2nd innings after bowling Australia out for 265. England have made a steady progres but crucial they haven't lost a wicket so far. Cook has started positively hitting a few lovely boundaries through the offside.

Cook has made 21 runs from a steady 41 deliveries and Andrew Strauss has played a few nice shots on his way to 10 from 19!

But Brett Lee started to bowl a few quick deliveries and the one that got Strauss was at 97mph. The bouncer knocked down Strauss as it crashed into his helmet but he seemed ok afterwards.

England have batted well so far but will need to continue this way if they are going to win this game!

England 49/0
10 overs bowled
Strauss 10
Cook 21​

Nice batting by England. They need to up the run rate a bit, though. Some brilliant presentation, trev. Love the brick effect and the movie...

Whoever got England off to this start must be an absolute legend... :

 

[plympilgrim]

grt pres and work culli and trev, grt read, well done

 

[Left_Hander]

Nice work guys

England are batting too slowly but if they continue without losing too many wickets than that shouldn't really be a problem.

 

[plympilgrim]

yep if they keep wickets in hand they can go for big scores at the end

 

[surendar]

Excellent work guys!

England are off to a good start! BUt they need to accelerate a bit more to be safe in this match becos Aussies genrally wud allow opponent team to get off nice start and destroy them in the middle!

Ian Healy: Well England certainly have made a push for runs here at the MCG. England have made 55 runs in the last 10 overs allthough losing the wicket of Cook. Cook and Strauss started off positively with a few boundaries.

Strauss kept going but Cook was undone by Brett lee after the ball going under his bat. He made 36!

Bell was the next man in!

Innings - 24
Runs - 880
Not Out's - 3
Average - 41.90
Highscore - 88

Ian bell made some solid runs and finished on 17 from just 15 balls and Strauss was unbeaten as well on 42! England need to continue to push on runs if they are going to win this match.

England 105/1
20 overs bowled
Cook 36
Bell 17*
Strauss 42*​

great batting Culli
England should be in with a sniff id they can keep the runrate up and the wickets in hand before the last 10 overs

 

[GrayNicolls]

That's an unlucky dismissal for Cook. England need to start scoring quickly. Loving the story guys. I like the video effect.

 

[surendar]

Thats Lee's fav delivery! Still England seems to be comfortable!

Excellent presentation guys! Amazing!
