Australia v England | 3rd ODI | Sydney | 23/01/2011

[WhiteDudeFromTrinidad]

Kevin Pietersen out with a groin strain

England win the toss and will bat

1.88 Aussies

2.12 England

small bet on England for me

not sure if i can stay awake to watch this. The live cricket schedule for the last few weeks has been overloaded to say the least what with Saffers vs Injuns, Aus vs Eng, NZ vs Pak, not to mention the Caribbean T20 and the Big Bash.

at this rate i'm going to require an intravenous drip feed just to keep me going

 

[Sledger]

Marsh has been promoted to 3, Clarke moves to 4.

 

[Khabri420]

Australia need to keep the momentum going and make it 3-0.

Aussie Aussie oi oi oi

 

[Amjid Javed]

England will have to bat well to stay in series.

 

[Awesome_Username]

3-0 coming up.

 

[MRSN]

Marsh has been promoted to 3, Clarke moves to 4.

I thought Marsh will open the batting.......?

 

[Kray_jackson7]

i owe aussies an apology for laughing when they were 30-4 last match, they pulled off a win.

 

[MRSN]

Eng win the toss and bat first

 

[MRSN]

Clarke says Marsh will bat at no.3 ,so Sledger was right

 

[WhiteDudeFromTrinidad]

good decision to bat first

Sydney is a difficult place to score under lights imo

[Sledger]

Prior gone. LBW to Lee.

He's called for a review..........

 

[Sledger]

Shocking review.. sort of plumb.

 

[Sledger]

Hitting the middle of middle. )

Another duck for England's 'number one' batsman keeper.

 

[Khabri420]

Another duck for Prior?

 

[WhiteDudeFromTrinidad]

can't believe England asked for a review on that especially with it hitting the back leg

 

[Sledger]

Lee bowling 92mph!! Wow.

 

[MRSN]

that shows you the difference between facing new ball and older ball.He can not play swing

 

[Sledger]

Bollinger sharing the new ball.

 

[Sledger]

Strauss edged it oooh, would have gone straight to third slip!

 

[Awesome_Username]

Oy Vey. Genuine edge.

 

[Sledger]

Bollinger can move the ball in a bit (off the seam) now. He never could do that consistently with the new ball before.

 

[MRSN]

poor throw

 

[MRSN]

this is where struass struggled against Aamer.keep him bowling there,bollinger

 

[Sir john]

prior

 

[DarkRival]

Wasnt that excessive celebration by Lee. I remember umpire having a talk with Adnan Akmal when Ryder got out in Test.

 

[Sledger]

How was it excessive in the slightest?

Or is that sarcasm?

 

[Sir john]

it is poor decision by strauss to ask prior to open.

 

[Friend786]

cricinfo : 1.2
Bollinger to Trott, 1 run, 152.2 kph, Trott walks across and works a single to square leg to get off the mark

haha

 

[Friend786]

brett lee back in form

 

[Sledger]

93.5mph from Lee!!!

 

[Sir john]

lee at his best.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Lee bowling with venom, great stuff. Hope Akhtar gets his form back before world cup

 

[Sir john]

no boundary yet.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Friends, I haven't seen John Hastings, is he any good?

 

[MRSN]

no boundary yet.

there comes a lovely cover drive

 

[Sledger]

Four from Trott.

 

[Sledger]

Trott just left a free hit. ) )

 

[Awesome_Username]

Huge no-ball. What're the odds?

 

[Sledger]

Trott! )

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Trott not even attempting a shot at freehit

 

[Sir john]

trott hit first

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Aussies fielding like world champions after a long time, great sight before the world cup. England come on post a respectable total.

 

[Friend786]

akhtar should add the slower-bouncer to his armory

 

[Sir john]

eng 18/1 after 5 overs.

 

[Friend786]

i hope akhtar is watching lee bowling now

 

[Sir john]

:4 by strauss.

 

[The_Real_Deal]

4444

 

[The_Real_Deal]

strauss on the attack

 

[Friend786]

strauss on the attack

 

[Sir john]

one more :4 by strauss

 

[ads101]

Prior another duck )

Kieswetter should have been in the squad lol.

If Prior is going to be in the team, for goodness sake play him late. Get Trott to open.

 

[Sir john]

hasting targeted by strauss

 

[DarkRival]

How was it excessive in the slightest?

It was a bit similar to Adnan's reaction during second test. I'm just pointing out. Both didnt seem so excessive to me.

"61.1
Mohammad Hafeez to Ryder, OUT, oh my! First ball after the rain delay and Ryder shoulders arms to a harmless ball on off stump which straightens on and hits the stumps. All are bemused while Ryder walks off in disbelief

Appears as though Tucker talked to Adnan about an excessive celebration of Ryder's wicket"

 

[Sledger]

Trott just swore as he played and missed lol.

 

[The_Real_Deal]

strauss struggling to pull today...

 

[Friend786]

oh great fielding , skipper setting an example !

 

[The_Real_Deal]

33/1 off 7

 

[Sledger]

Australia fielding brilliantly so far. They're looking world class again all of a sudden.

 

[Sledger]

It was a bit similar to Adnan's reaction during second test. I'm just pointing out. Both didnt seem so excessive to me.

"61.1
Mohammad Hafeez to Ryder, OUT, oh my! First ball after the rain delay and Ryder shoulders arms to a harmless ball on off stump which straightens on and hits the stumps. All are bemused while Ryder walks off in disbelief

Appears as though Tucker talked to Adnan about an excessive celebration of Ryder's wicket"

I don't think either were excessive either but Lee's was a lot less, it was just a normal celebration.

 

[The_Real_Deal]

) @ trott attacking!!

 

[Sledger]

Trott is a real passanger for England in ODIs imo. I think he could really sink their RR in the middle overs in the WC.

 

[The_Real_Deal]

Out!!

 

[Sledger]

Run out.

 

[MRSN]

what a mix up )

 

[Sledger]

Lolz, village cricket by England.

 

[The_Real_Deal]

batsman zzzzz

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

England runout like Bangladesh hahaha

 

[hamzie]

how dumb are they

 

[Sledger]

Strauss is the man gone.

 

[haizen]

hahaha

 

[Khabri420]

LOL reminds me of the Inzi and Moyo run out several years back

 

[Sledger]

That's like two wickets in one for Australia..

They missed the Trott run out and got Struass instead, that mean Trott can still stay and play his tuk tuk. )

 

[The_Real_Deal]

poor strauss

 

[The_Real_Deal]

this line-up is strange...

 

[Sir john]

end of strauss :

 

[The_Real_Deal]

prior shouldnt be opening...

 

[The_Real_Deal]

end of strauss :

meanwhile.....

 

[Khabri420]

sir John has the match started on your stream?
