Story World Cup 2007 - Australia

[aussie1st]

Good start so far Gilly still there which is good when we need to up the tempo.

 

[Left_Hander]

Australia are in a good position. They probably just want to keep wickets until the 40th over mark and then go for it from then.

 

[plympilgrim]

nice score so far, clarke and gilly need to build a partnership for a while

[aussie1st]

Shame that Clarke got out but Gilly still there and now the aggressive Cosgrove in.

 

[WORLD CHAMPIONS]

Well Gilly and Cosgrove both left handers ,Cosgrove can hit as well ,we can see some join explosions.

 

[Left_Hander]

Australia just have to be composed here and a good total is around the corner.
