Good performance from England in the end considering we were far from full strength missing Keiswetter and Broad, who you would expect to replace Davies and Shazhad in T20 at least.

Yeah, but you should realise by now that this series isn't just about how good we are, it's about how bad they are. And it's brilliant.

Thats why we are world champions

Nobody listening or watching this morning?

I can't work out how best to post the Australian innings - where's simulatorman when you need him?!

Shaping up to be a good game again, hopefully another England win.

Weebull · 14 Jan 2011 at 10:46

Australia 147/7 (20/20 ov)

England 50/0 (6/20 ov)

Piece of cake this cricket lark, isn't it? :cool:

Damn, there goes Bell.

60/1.

ringo747 · 14 Jan 2011 at 10:53

Bell really has made some serious progress lately.

ringo747 · 14 Jan 2011 at 10:54

KP gone!

Weebull · 14 Jan 2011 at 10:55

:/ Tard.

p4radox · 14 Jan 2011 at 11:03

Collingwood gone. The pressure's on now...

He's absolutely purring, isn't he? Fantastic stuff.

Time for some Morgan action! I could watch him bat all day.

Alas, not having Sky, I can't.

What pressure? our entire T20 squad are more then capable of scoring quick runs.

Weebull · 14 Jan 2011 at 11:13

They're starting to tighten the noose a bit now. We're not getting much an over, and the RRR is creeping up to mid-8s.

Alpherah · 14 Jan 2011 at 11:15

With morgan, Bresnan, Yardy, Swann, Wright et al remaining, i wouldn't be concerned one bit at needing 10 an over with 5 overs remaining

glitch · 14 Jan 2011 at 11:17

Well, that's Davies gone. Let's see if Wright can actually do something for a change.

I agree, but the bowlers are keeping it very tight.

Alpherah · 14 Jan 2011 at 11:20

They keep Wright around because he's useful for a few overs in Seam friendly conditions.
To be honest, this pitch seems better bowler wise with pace off the ball, they'r probably better off using Colly and Wright for a few overs rather then using up all 4 overs for all of our seamers on this pitch.

Well here's your wish. We need 51 from the last 5 overs.

Time for the fireworks.
