England bat till no.11

If they lose, its a shame on them

 

[ace4rmspace]

Thats how you treat a slow left arm spinner ... not give him 5 wickets!

And he gets KP ... a slice of HP for me I guess ...

Right.

Yes

 

[ads101]

England should win this one, especially since their two best bowlers are going over 10 an over.

Australia are sorely missing Nannes here though.

 

[malakian]

KP gives it away as usual.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Aussies fielding has been a joke so far!

Tait must be livid he got a spanking of Bell who was dropped twice! The 1st one was a dolly!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Exactly Aussies standards have fell in almost every department.

 

[Friend786]

eoin morgan comes to bat with new sponsor slazenger . Previously , it was kookabora

 

[Friend786]

only wickets can win it for aussies

 

[ads101]

Why are australia not even playing their best team? No Nannes, no Michael Hussey, no Haddin. O'keefe's in the team when they already have Smith and DJ hussey there who can handle spin duties? They really need to win this T20 to shift momentum.

Their ODI attack is going to be appalling. No Bollinger (he's not fit I believe), no ryan harris, no Nannes to bring in to cover. Johnson out of form. Brett lee not having played international cricket for a year. It'll be all on tait's shoulders pretty much.

 

[pwarekar]

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.

Why this all happning in Australian Cricket

There is a time when Australia= Win but now the picture is changed completely

Is it because no classy players or Bad Selectors?

England 85/3 require 73 run rin 60 balls, i think they can do it!

 

[*sallu*]

Brett Lee )

 

[Amjid Javed]

63 from 55 needed,

England should win this one with ease.

Morgan and Colly both looking at ease here!

 

[shaykh1985]

Wright gone as well...that was plum...

104/5...starting to look interesting now...

 

[*sallu*]

Game has the prospect to become interesting if another wicket or 2 falls but England bat till no11 so it shouldn't be a problem

 

[Amjid Javed]

Morgan still there so england still favourites!

 

[shaykh1985]

under 7 an over now and Morgan is looking good...hammering Hussey here...

Gotta dismiss if they are to have to any chance the Aussies...

 

[Watsupdoc]

Morgan khel gya hai bhai!!!

 

[*sallu*]

Game almost done and dusted

 

[*sallu*]

Morgan

Game on?

 

[shaykh1985]

Morgan gone!!! ...again he doesnt finish...Aussies might be back in here...
Good innings from Morgan but again loses his wicket at the wrong time...
Yardy and Bresnan at the crease now...RR required a run a ball...28 off 28

 

[*sallu*]

Game has changed

Watson on a hatrick

 

[shaykh1985]

Yardy gone 1st ball...Watto on a hat trick now...thin edge...

Game well and truly on...130/7

 

[*sallu*]

Yardy sways, leaves the bat hanging

 

[Watsupdoc]

Now this makes it interesting

 

[ballack13]

[*sallu*]

Great over, game is 50/50 now

[shaykh1985]

Super all round performance this from Watson...only guy to bat properly for the Aussies and now winning the match with his bowling...

 

[*sallu*]

Watson bowling very well, got a good yorker

 

[*sallu*]

This is the crucial over that will decide

 

[Amjid Javed]

15 from 12 needed. England should still win this!

[Alif anaar]

[ads101]

[Amjid Javed]

Poor over from Lee!

England 1 stroke away from victory!

 

[*sallu*]

Kudos to Aussies for making a match of it, things getting interesting! 4 runs 5 balls and 1 wicket .. could go either way ...
