Kieswetter. What is the point? Get Davies instead.

 

[Robert]

Bet Random Aussie comes in and starts whingeing about "England imports".

 

[Watsupdoc]

Awesome batting from Morgan, that was some breathtaking stuff.

Always does that. But England took some steps against Kolpak players, you know you cant stop something all of a sudden.

 

[Runner Up]

Watson is out. Dar got it wrong this time.

 

[AdidasBeard]

Watson out, massive edge. Thank goodness for DRS!

 

[Wristy_Shuffler]

What was Warners problem?

 

[Runner Up]

See this is the benefit of DRS. Come on BCCI stop acting like kids.

 

[Bullet Drive]

14 off the over. Poor over.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Bresnan. Poor ODI cricketer on.

 

[the Great Khan]

[leatherface58]

[Bullet Drive]

Very fun to watch.

 

[Runner Up]

I like Australia when they are chasing. Despite losing wickets, they keep on playing their natural game.

 

[Bullet Drive]

That's the over.

 

[Bullet Drive]

 

[Bullet Drive]

Smashed!

 

[Bullet Drive]

Warner - switch hit Swann!

Warner 50*

 

[mithun_minhas]

Aussies are fearless.

Even though they are not at their best compared to the past 2 decades, they still have that Aussie fighting spirit.

They should be the Favs to win this game.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Anderson with a wicket.

This series is for the die-hard followers only. I'm not one of those anymore but I'll watch it when I'm around.

Interestingly the people who are taking this the most seriously are the England players and management. Flower seems to have changed the mentality so they care about ODIs all of a sudden. They have foregone a 4th Test with South Africa to play this series, have brought forward the Ashes scheduling by a year, and have also arranged an extra ODI series in Australia in 2014/15 season - all in preparation for the World Cup.

England focusing on ODIs as equal or better than test cricket. Not sure if I like that........

Neither do I but it is a pragmatic move from the ECB and gives their side time to decide on the team combination heading into the World Cup, to blood in youngsters and gives them a better chance of winning the World Cup in 2015. These are the sort of steps the PCB should be taken.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Good over. Warner must carry on.

 

[Bullet Drive]

[Bullet Drive]

Australia under pressure now.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Kieswetter. What is the point? Get Davies instead.

There you go. What a catch!

 

[Markhor]

Warner gone for 56.

AUS 102-3

 

[Markhor]

England bowlers should look to target the 2 new batsmen and not allow them to settle. Australia need a big partnership here.

 

[Markhor]

Lovely shot, straight down the ground for 4.

 

[Markhor]

AUS 111-3

Three boundaries in that over, so still that positive intent. We'd have gone into complete defensive shell mode.

 

[Bullet Drive]

2 runs.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Finn on.

 

[Markhor]

Good pace from Finn, 88mph.

 

[Ruri]

Laughable shot from Hussey, deserved to lose his wicket.

 

[Bullet Drive]

[Justcrazy]

England on top here as required RR rises.

 

[Justcrazy]

Australia need boundaries here, cannot leave for too late,

 

[Bullet Drive]
