6 down. England back to true form

Yas786 · 2 Oct 2009 at 15:14

Wow England getting spanked yet again by the Aussies...oh well nothing new there...wonder how the Aussies will fare batting wise as they almost lost to pakistan the other day.

Sankari · 2 Oct 2009 at 15:26

This is what I'm wondering. Is it bad batting, or good bowling? That pitch will be a lot rougher by the time our boys reach the crease, so who knows?

Sankari · 2 Oct 2009 at 15:37

England rallying well. Looks like they'll hit 200 without any trouble.

Johnson returns in place of Watson, and he has a slip in.

Sounds like a line from a Carry On movie.

Lulz

*edit*

Hm! If we get another 220 score it will be pretty funny

Sankari · 2 Oct 2009 at 16:22

These boys are certainly making up for lost time! Looks like an easy 250+ at this rate.

Rich_L · 2 Oct 2009 at 16:26

I am utterly puzzled by Englands form in ODI's

Bresnan the all-rounder? :confused:

- 72 off 66 balls

Yas786 · 2 Oct 2009 at 16:47

Good recovery from England...have to say the Aussie death bowling has been decidedly rubbish...but Bresnan with 72 off 66 balls thats mucho lollage there...mind you hes riding his luck...2 near catches that just went past the keeper...Ponting should have kept the slip in lol.

Should be at least 250+ which means England will have a great chance to bowl the Aussies out...seeing as they nearly flopped so badly against a paltry total the other day against Pakistan

ringo747 · 2 Oct 2009 at 16:51

Bresnan is doing a great job here.

Sankari · 2 Oct 2009 at 16:59

Phew, Swann is gone.

Mad old tory · 2 Oct 2009 at 17:02

And Bresnan too now

Ah well, at least we'll be over 250 now which is good. Still can't get why we didn't use the powerplay earlier though, ridiculous

Sankari · 2 Oct 2009 at 17:02

w00t, 9 for 251.

Rich_L · 2 Oct 2009 at 17:04

Great knock from Bresnan

Another 20 runs would be nice and should make a good contest out of it

y2viks · 2 Oct 2009 at 17:04

great for englands bowlers though. They must have a huge lift now from thinking they had about 150 to bowl with, to now having 250+

Can't see it happening with these two though.

same could be said with Panesar and Anderson at Cardiff...

although I bet they're all out as i'm typing this ><

Yas786 · 2 Oct 2009 at 17:07

About time Bresnan got out...was starting to wonder if he was going to get to a century lol.

Still a very good target for the English bowlers...they must be chomping at the bit...theres every chance that they could possibly bowl the Aussies out for a paltry total.

Personally doesnt bother me who wins as im more interested in tommorrows game...hopefully pakistan will pull off a win to get to another final...then proceed to thoroughly thrash either the Aussies or England to take the champs trophy and they are more than capable of doing so.

Absolutely, 'nice' was a bit of an understatement

Mad old tory · 2 Oct 2009 at 17:11

Stupid running but a decent enough total if Anderson and Onions can get some swing early on. Bresnan should bowl well as well after batting like that his confidence will be sky high!

Yas786 · 2 Oct 2009 at 17:12

257 all out...good total after the collapse of the earlier batsmen.
