Australia v England | 2nd T20 | MCG | 14/1/11

[James]

Finch for man of the match.

The only player that understood this surface and this ground.

 

[*sallu*]

50 from 28, its Australia's to lose now on a ground where sixes are not easy !!!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

57 balls for 2nd 50.

 

[*sallu*]

48 from 27

Aus won't mind Wright on strike, they'd want to keep Morgan away

 

[AZ]

Brett's slower bouncers have been brilliant today.

 

[tahir_dj]

England need Razzler factor here

 

[*sallu*]

Another single, great over from Lee so far

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Just 5 so far from this over. England need a boundary.

 

[*sallu*]

46 from 25

Surely Aus can't lose from here?

 

[Afridi_Fan]

45 needed from last 4 overs.

 

[AZ]

terrific over, good variations and bowled to his field.

 

[James]

45 off 24.

I predict they will take singles for another over and then slog themselves all out.

Seen it too many times.

Pathetic batting display from the lot of them.

 

[*sallu*]

Top notch over !!!

45 from 4

Aus well on top

 

[Mujtaba_Saeed]

jadeja+fawad+wright=crap

 

[*sallu*]

Morgan just not able to connect properly

They've bowled well to him

Its Tait time

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Wright gets a couple of Tait's 1st ball.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Edged

 

[*sallu*]

Ugly slog for 2

 

[James]

Bonus

Another ten of them would be handy.

 

[*sallu*]

Imp boundary

 

[IAJ]

If Morgan takes his side home today I have to bump the thread on him.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Big Boundary that for the England.

 

[AZ]

edged and flies away past the keeper.

 

[*sallu*]

39 off 22

6 off 2, is this the over?

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Another couple to Wright.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Wright

 

[*sallu*]

37 from 21

Great fielding

 

[AZ]

straight to mid-off, Tait strikes.

 

[*sallu*]

lol

 

[Afridi_Fan]

8 from 4 balls so far in this over.

 

[James]

Wright can't slog, can't build, can't rebuild, can't finish. There is no place for him in the batting order. USELESS.

 

[Khabri420]

Penguin gone!

 

[*sallu*]

More importantly its a dot ball and a new batsman who will not be able to hit from ball 1

 

[Afridi_Fan]

39 off 22

6 off 2, is this the over?

LoL, aren't you getting toooooooo bollywood-esque?

 

[*sallu*]

The fielding and running has been the difference

10 runs each innings I would say making it a net difference of 20

 

[*sallu*]

LoL, aren't you getting toooooooo bollywood-esque?

 

[Watsupdoc]

Wright goes! Just as I come back

 

[*sallu*]

Just a single good comeback now from Aus

9 off 5, Aus won't mind

 

[Afridi_Fan]

36 needed from 18.

Its 2 runs a ball from here on in.

 

[AZ]

36 from 18.

its over...or is it?

 

[James]

Bresnan should have taken 2 for that shot down to third man, but laboured for 1. Morgan then played and missed and thus Bresnan has the strike.

Dreadful cricket from England in general, sums up their day.

 

[*sallu*]

9 off, great comeback after 8 off 3

 

[Watsupdoc]

Morgan the key man here

 

[*sallu*]

Australia are winning it with quickies on a spinners track

Shame on England !!!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Run out missed by Warner. That would have been game over. It was Morgan.

 

[IAJ]

Come on Morgan!!!!!!

 

[*sallu*]

Oh, that would've been game, set and match

 

[James]

All over.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Morgan

 

[*sallu*]

I reckon this is the over.

 

[AZ]

Morgan caught out at deep midwicket!

fatal blow for the Poms.

 

[Khabri420]

Morgan gone!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

 

[hashbb]

Bye Bye England

 

[*sallu*]

Finch is the hero of the day !!!

 

[Strike!]

Game certainly gone for England.

 

[Khabri420]

14 off 21 - not the greatest of innings

 

[*sallu*]

Finally Australia win one !!!

 

[*sallu*]

Morgan was also a let down today

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Single.

 

[*sallu*]

As I said, Aus have beaten England with quickies on a spinner's track, shame on them !!!

 

[Watsupdoc]

Morgan goes

 

[AZ]

this Woakes fella any good? First time I'm seeing him.

 

[hashbb]

After watching England bat, It makes you realize what power this guy Finch has, absolute monster

 

[IAJ]

Morgan fails, England fail!

 

[James]

Morgan goes

Are you watched this in a time warp? Been way behind dude

 

[hashbb]

this Woakes fella any good? First time I'm seeing him.

won England the last game

 

[*sallu*]

England can't hit a boundary to save their lives

 

[James]

this Woakes fella any good? First time I'm seeing him.

Picked as a bowler, but arguably been more use with the bat

 

[Afridi_Fan]

29 needed from 12.

 

[hashbb]

As I said, Aus have beaten England with quickies on a spinner's track, shame on them !!!

Eng are playing their second string bowlers

 

[Mujtaba_Saeed]

lalla is not playing

 

[James]

Finally pushing for 2s instead of settling for 1s. Should have been doing this all along, and they've paid the price.

 

[*sallu*]

4-0-29-3

MJ, take a bow !!!

 

[tahir_dj]

Morgan hit wudv been a six in NZ grounds and English grounds

 

[*sallu*]

Johnson took 3 key wickets

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Brilliant yorker from Tait.

 

[*sallu*]

Single to 3rd man,

Lee will bowl the last over

 

[AZ]

vicious yorker from Tait.

 

[James]

Eng are playing their second string bowlers

Possibly a point there, but it doesn't matter. 148 was very chaseable - they've batted stupidly and ran lazily.
