Australia v England | 1st T20 | Adelaide | Jan 12, 2011

[Friend786]

just over an hour to go ! England are looking to create a record for most consecutive wins in T20i .

 

[Friend786]

aussies have got some firepower in their bowling attack with lee and tait

 

[emclub]

should be a good game, lookin forward to it

 

[Friend786]

Australia won the toss and will bat first

 

[Friend786]

aaron finch and chris woakes makes their debut

 

[Mobashir]

I am supporting Australia... I always liked Cameron White as a player so i am looking forward to his captaincy.
And of course : Lee, Tait, Jhonson.

Lol a half volley machine and a sprinkler head attachment.

 

[Mobashir]

Lol a half volley machine and a sprinkler head attachment.

Both are coming back from injuries so they may not produce the results straightaway... But Bret Lee is one of the best ODI bowlers ever and Tait also showed in England that he can be very very good.

 

[Mobashir]

Slow start by aussies but the pitch looks to be very good so i am sure they are going to make a good score.
And Warner has just hit the first two boundaries of the match.

Guys,

Please do not use this (or other) threads to post links to illegal streams etc.

Further such posts would lead to a ban, I'm afraid.

Thank you!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Aus 37/0 after 5 overs. A decent start so far!

 

[mr einstein]

Pietersen too far in at long on. Misses what would've been a simple catch a couple of metres in from the boundary.

 

[*sallu*]

Really poor start from Australia so far, too slow

 

[talha3]

Really poor start from Australia so far, too slow

they seem like they're aiming for 150. they should know that won't be enough.

 

[mr einstein]

they seem like they're aiming for 150. they should know that won't be enough.

With wickets in the shed, 8 an over is plenty for the first 10. It's amazing how much can be done in the last 10 with wickets in hand.

 

[mr einstein]

Just as I speak, twatson hits 2 sixes.

 

[talha3]

on for 6 sixes, cmon watson!

 

[mr einstein]

Make that 3...

 

[talha3]

why not go for 6 6s?!

 

[hashbb]

Watson just raped swann

 

[talha3]

watson's scored at least 2 off every ball. 26 off the over!

 

[mr einstein]

why not go for 6 6s?!

It's this little thing called playing for your team, not for yourself.

 

[talha3]

How to play Swann in t20 cricket by Shane Watson

 

[IAJ]

Lols, what an over. Swann has just been hammered by watson!

 

[Krishnan]

lol 26 of the bowler's over who usually gets a wicket everytime the first over he bowls

 

[talha3]

It's this little thing called playing for your team, not for yourself.

Of course yea fair enough.

 

[talha3]

Watson will make the record for the most 50-60 scores in all forms of the game.

 

[Mobashir]

Wonderfoul innings by Wato...
He has set it up for Australia...

Lol it was nice hitting on the best spiner of the world..

 

[taxzu]

Swan is average bowler. A period against Pakistan and Bangladesh doesn make him good bowler.

 

[mr einstein]

Ah twatson gone in the 50s again. How does he manage that with such regularity.

 

[mr einstein]

Swan is average bowler. A period against Pakistan and Bangladesh doesn make him good bowler.

Swann is class. Being slogged a few times with the spin changes nothing.

 

[Mobashir]

Swan is average bowler. A period against Pakistan and Bangladesh doesn make him good bowler.

I will not say average, he is good.
But he surely is not in the league of Warne and Murli. But these english commentators are trying their best to put him in the league.

 

[IAJ]

Good bowling by Shahzad here!

 

[talha3]

Shahzad bowling really really well today.

 

[talha3]

Shahzad going for 12 in 3 overs, amazing stuff!

 

[mr einstein]

Is he getting any inswing? My stream is ***** quality. Saw he had good seam position in the slo-mo though.

Not much...

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

Would anybody tell me that whether its a batting or bowling pitch?

 

[Alif anaar]

Would anybody tell me that whether its a batting or bowling pitch?

I think its a fielding pitch

Good one.

 

[pwarekar]

Good bowling by Shazad! & Swann also recover!

 

[Mobashir]

Would anybody tell me that whether its a batting or bowling pitch?

It's a nice pitch to bat on.

 

[pwarekar]

Last 5 overs run rate 4.00, how situation changed after falling two important wickets!

 

[pwarekar]

will they cross 160?

 

[Mobashir]

White gone... Failed in his first innings as captain...

 

[Mobashir]

will they cross 160?

Wait 20 minutes and i will tell you.

 

[pwarekar]

One more wicket down CL White c Pietersen b Woakes 6, Australia in trouble here

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

will they cross 160?

initially, At the end of 10th over, it seemed like they would easily cross 170+
but now, still they have wickets so we can expect them to cross 160. In the end its t20

 

[IAJ]

huh the long boundary there is really long. Just tells you how well Watson middled them.

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

Ooh, Mike Hussey isn't playing

 

[pwarekar]

Wait 20 minutes and i will tell you.

Looking at current scenario, won't cross 150 also!

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

Looking at current scenario, won't cross 150 also!

Even, a six can raise their morale:iamlegend

 

[IAJ]

What a by Hussey! Reminded me of Umar Akmal against Mitchell Johnson in Worl T20

 

[Paradox]

"Can you throw that back please" Bumble )

 

[Mobashir]

lol i was just waiting for that shot on that ball...
Everybody knew that it was going to be short...

 

[Mobashir]

Send in Mitch...

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

What a by Hussey! Reminded me of Umar Akmal against Mitchell Johnson in Worl T20

what did i say earlier

 

[IAJ]

Bresnan bowling well here

 

[malakian]

Swan is average bowler. A period against Pakistan and Bangladesh doesn make him good bowler.

You don't know anything about cricket.

 

[malakian]

We should be able to chase this, not a massive score.

 

[shaykh1985]

Thats a shocking batting performance from the Aussies but it has to be said that Englands bowling unit is a very disciplined one...

Bresnan is a seriously underrated bowler...and Shahzad deserved a wicket...

Watto is the only Aussie batsman who can say they did a good job...

But however good England were its completely unacceptable to be 84-1 off 8 and then score just 73 off the next 12 with 9 wickets in hand...absolutely terrible...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA are you f***ing serious?!

) ) ) ) that has to be the worst post I've read in months.

 

[pwarekar]

Australia batting started very well, but after falling first 2 wicket they just can't score runs!

Once again the same sad story!

 

[malakian]

I know, it doesn't matter that Swann is ranked the number 2 bowler in the world, Twatto smacked him for a few 6's in a meaningless 20/20 and suddenly he's an average bowler?

Once again not a good bating by Australia here!

let see now how they will ristrict England with their bowling

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

we dont need that

 

[malakian]

LOL Bell dropped first ball.

 

[malakian]

Bell starting to take Tait apart. I love watching him bat, so much talent.

 

[malakian]

Lee dismisses Davies, here comes KP

 

[Noork85]

Australia better pray bell doesnt punish them much for that drop.

 

[ace4rmspace]

Stellar effort that. Shame it didn't stick.

 

[Noork85]

Lol australia have lost it. Dropped AGAIN

 

[ace4rmspace]

Tait and Lee cranking up some pace here. Nice.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

england really do have the wood over the aussies now

 

[ace4rmspace]

The Aussies are a sorry sight at the moment! Misfields, dropped catches ... it aches my heart!

 

[Random Aussie]

Australia batting started very well, but after Watson gets out for 50ish they just can't score runs!

Once again the same sad story!

Edited for accuracy

Tait very unlucky, he had Bell twice there. Tait about 10kph off his top pace at present. That extra pace makes a huge difference to international quality players.

This amused me (in a sad way):

Chairman of selectors of Australia Andrew Hilditch "Tait is fitter than he has ever been".
New Australian captain Cam White "Tait is a bit underdone".
WTH? Do we know much about anything these days?

Bell is in just stellar touch btw.

 

[*sallu*]

Ian Bell batting like a million bucks

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Australia have been awful. Can't hit boundaries. Can't take their catches. This going to be ine long series for the Aussies.

 

[shaykh1985]

Lol finally they caught Bell...

O'Keefe's fielding has been shocking...
