349/4

18 balls to go

 

[Rob H]

four for Hussey through point.

 

[azcali78]

I guess Clarke won't be sending Symmo a Xmas card this year.

In all fairness Clarke committed a suicide. It was Symonds call and he said NO

 

[Sean]

4 to Hussey.
4/343

 

[OZGOD]

OZ struggling now. Only 3 overs to go and the score is only 347.

 

[OZGOD]

444444444444 for Mr Cricket

 

[infamous9383]

4 for hussey

350 up

 

[OZGOD]

Geez, Hall must've been spending too much time at McDonalds having those value meals.

 

[Rob H]

out for Hussey. Hit it straight to the man on the cover boundary. His average continues to go down

 

[RumiNYC]

if Bangladesh (we) qualifies tomorrow..we'll play our first match agains AUS.. God help us..

 

[infamous9383]

hussey gone

 

[Sean]

Out. Hussey in probably the worst form of his international career. he is caught on the boundary. He goes for 5.
5/353.

 

[OZGOD]

Hussey out.

 

[the_game]

If they were getting a pasting, we would have made 400.

Dude, trust me; they ain't chasing this one down.

 

[OZGOD]

if Bangladesh (we) qualifies tomorrow..we'll play our first match agains AUS.. God help us..

Will it make a difference who wins this match?

 

[OZGOD]

Watson will have to cowlash a few. But we need to make sure we bat out the 50 and not collapse.

 

[Sean]

Last 5 overs.
3/47

 

[OZGOD]

5-357 with 2overs to go.

 

[infamous9383]

357/5

12 balls remaining

 

[Sean]

We are about to go past our highest score in the WC.

 

[RumiNYC]

yea it will..whoever win, will play against bd...and hopefully they'll apply a mercy rule against us

 

[Rob H]

4 for Symonds over cover. That was hit hard.

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Symmo is back!

 

[Sean]

Ouch. HEADS! Roy pounds that. Amazing shot which is 1 bounce and four.

 

[infamous9383]

symonds smashes a four, pure strenght

 

[OZGOD]

44444444444 for Symmo through extra cover

 

[Rob H]

4 for Watson over fine leg. A paddle sweep that was.

 

[Sean]

That is our highest score in the WC. Beating the previous 2/359 against India in 2003.

 

[infamous9383]

clever shot by watson for 4

 

[OZGOD]

LOL that was a beautiful 4444444 from Watson, stepped through the line and scooped to the onside.

 

[OZGOD]

Symmo heaves to long-off, falls short of Prince.

 

[Sean]

Great stuff by Watson. I never knew he could do that.

 

[Rob H]

Watson goes over mid wicket with that paddle sweep. He think's he's Collingwood who did this to him at Melbourne.

 

[RumiNYC]

anybody fancy bangla to beat west indies, ireland and england ? Hopefully England

 

[infamous9383]

373/5

last over coming up

 

[OZGOD]

Watson repeats the stroke, 4444444 more through square leg. 16 off the over, we badly needed that. 5-373.

 

[Sean]

Just a single.

 

[OZGOD]

The green Teletubbie to bowl the last over.

 

[Sean]

Dot ball. Good bowling.

 

[OZGOD]

Dot

 

[Sean]

Another dot ball. Bloody hell Watto. Stop with your fancy crap.

 

[Sean]

Single.

 

[OZGOD]

Watson tries the scoop sweep again and is nearly caught.

 

[RumiNYC]

The green Teletubbie to bowl the last over.

which one was that ? tinky-winky-dipsy, lala or Po ?

 

[Sean]

Two runs. Good running.

 

[the_game]

The green Teletubbie to bowl the last over.

)

 

[OZGOD]

Beautiful running between the wickets from Symmo. 5-377.

 

[Rob H]

bowled Symonds last ball by Hall with a good yorker

377/6 off 50

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Hmm ... last over not too shabby! Only 4 and Symmo gone.

 

[infamous9383]

andrew hall bowled symonds

377/6

 

[OZGOD]

The teletubbie gets Symmo with his last ball. 6-377. That was an underachievement in the last 10, only 89 off it.

 

[Sean]

That's the end of the fifty overs. Roy is bowled last ball with a ripper. 4 from the over.
Aus 6/377

The 3rd highest WC total ever. RSA have one option, go for it!
The innings was highlighted by Hayden's, Ponting's and Clarke's innings. Brilliant!

 

[Straight Bat]

What a rubbish last over for Oz, anticlimax!

 

[OZGOD]

I don't feel good about this total, I reckon the Jaaps will chase it down.

 

[Sean]

Ripper shot by Gilly.
0/24 from 3 overs.
Just remember, it's the rematch. The first match since that epic 5th one dayer last year.
Could we have a runfest again?

I'm right so far.

 

[Uzzy]

I don't feel good about this total, I reckon the Jaaps will chase it down.

Relax mate, 377 is a huge total and i just don't see them chasing it down this time.

 

[jattafridi]

377 is getable ?

 

[P4K1 #1]

377 is a good score.. should be a run fest of a game

 

[PlanetPakistan]

What an innings that was M Hayden...quite easily the innings of the tournament !! It's about time that AUS defends one of these 320+ totals.

 

[OZGOD]

Relax mate, 377 is a huge total and i just don't see them chasing it down this time.

Mate, I said that in NZ - twice...

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Ok, I'm back. Been having some supper. Burp.

 

[JustAnotherFan]

I guess Smith will block sixes!

 

[OZGOD]

We need 2 things from Bracken and Pidge: 1) keep the run rate down; and 2) take wickets.

 

[JustAnotherFan]

4!

 

[JustAnotherFan]

6

 

[OZGOD]

444444444 for AB

 

[tauseefm]

dig that.. what a short by AB

 

[OZGOD]

6666666666666 for AB, treated Bracken like Pollock just then.

 

[JustAnotherFan]

10 runs off first over

 

[Sean]

Wow. 4 the 6. Sheesh.

 

[OZGOD]

Our minnow attack is going to take a huge pasting.

 

[JustAnotherFan]

So what can Tait do?

 

[OZGOD]

Tait on.

 

[OZGOD]

No bounce whatsoever for Tait.

 

[OZGOD]

That kept very low.

 

[OZGOD]

Tait bowling slow, only 147kmh.

 

[Sean]

Bloody hell. If this is how we're gonna bowl for the whole innings, I should go to bed.

 

[JustAnotherFan]

I guess Tait doesn't know the dif between left and right hand batsmen?

 

[OZGOD]

Tait spraying it around. 444444444444 for AB
