beautiful batting by this pair

 

[*sallu*]

Shaun Marsh is oozing with class and its unbelievable hes not in the test team

 

[MRSN]

75 meters

 

[MRSN]

Shaun Marsh is oozing with class and its unbelievable hes not in the test team

he likes to play too many shots sometimes and I think he should stick to LO cricket

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Why isn't Shaun Marsh in the World cup side but you have Steven Smith and David Hussey?

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Bollinger wow what a player, the new gilly of oz

 

[MRSN]

[MRSN]

What a hundred for Shuan Marsh

 

[*sallu*]

One of the classiest innings I've been privileged to see in recent times

 

[MRSN]

Last 5 ovs 58/0 RR 11.60 what a partnership

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

What a great knock, Aussies please select Marsh, and kickout Smith
deserves a standing ovation

 

[MRSN]

Single to Bollinger,Marsh on strike

 

[*sallu*]

Can not believe how Steven Smith is in the side ahead of this guy

 

[MRSN]

to Marsh ,moves on to 108

 

[0tt0man]

What an innings by Marsh! Should be in the squad unless Hussey gets 100% fit in time
He has experience of the sub continent conditions as well having played in the IPL

 

[MRSN]

good catch by Shehzad

 

[*sallu*]

If Australia manage to play 50 overs, it will be an outstanding achievement

 

[MRSN]

Bollinger played an important role ,great contribution

 

[MRSN]

Its all over

 

[0tt0man]

Marsh OUT! Australia finish at 230

 

[MRSN]

so Aus 230 all out ,a defendable total .Wonderful knock by Shaun Marsh

 

[pinger]

This is why i have been screaming at the selectors- why take two friggin keepers for gods sake to the World Cup. Take Paine, drop Haddin, and you can then pick Marsh to cover for Hussey.

Marsh has been in brilliant form and he is a T20 and IPL subcontinent specialist.

Smith is now officially useless as well, not that I ever thought any different. I was giving the kid a chance but he has not got "it" yet.

 

[pinger]

And don't even get me started on Brett lee and Tait.

 

[wasi90lk]

at one point, 230 seemed difficult to get. australia can defend this total.

 

[ganeshran]

Today's fightback is the reason no one can write off Australia in the World cup. They are a disciplined and motivated side that can still give the best of performances.

 

[Amir]

Today's fightback is the reason no one can write off Australia in the World cup. They are a disciplined and motivated side that can still give the best of performances.

Except they left Marsh out of the WC squad

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Brett Lee strikes, Prior gone for Jero

 

[FastBowler]

I'm not surprised that Tait is taken off after two overs.

 

[FastBowler]

England 41/3.

 

[pinger]

I'm not surprised that Tait is taken off after two overs.

Stoopid Tait, he is PANTS. He is simply not fit enough or good enough, even in friggin T20.

And apparently we are taking him to the world cup! LOL

 

[Mobashir]

Stoopid Tait, he is PANTS. He is simply not fit enough or good enough, even in friggin T20.

And apparently we are taking him to the world cup! LOL

He is not at his best but he was also unlucky on two boundaries.
And I am sure he will bowl well in his last 6 overs.

 

[Mobashir]

Today's fightback is the reason no one can write off Australia in the World cup. They are a disciplined and motivated side that can still give the best of performances.

And why will someone write off the number one team in the world?

 

[Mobashir]

Mr cool, Mr calm is at the crease, England's finisher from Ireland is at the crease to replace their number 3 from South Africa.

 

[Schickelgruber]

I think Australia are back and running again.

 

[James]

What went wrong?

The equation is still a run a ball, any decent team would still walk it. But this is England.

 

[James]

Marsh and Bollinger put on a hundred together? Ouch. Here's me thinking we'd got away with playing the second-string bowlers eh.

 

[ganeshran]

And why will someone write off the number one team in the world?

A lot of people have the impression that Australia is now a weakened team because of their recent drubbing in the Ashes

 

[James]

This is pathetic. A 'potentially' world-class (as we're always hearing) top six killing the run-rate and getting out to these sort of shots for the fourth LOI in a row. And they wonder why so many England fans are indifferent to limited overs cricket.

 

[FastBowler]

Australia 100/4
England 97/5

 

[FastBowler]

That's not a wide issed:

 

[James]

Morgan looks hopelessly out of form and ideas, and this tail is a phenomenally ugly one. I don't expect us to make 200.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Aussies are still a top ODI team and no shock that england are struggling here!

 

[James]

That was a horrid over from the spinner. Got us back in it a bit.

 

[FastBowler]

Hauritz injured.

 

[*sallu*]

Hauritz's comeback lasts all of 30 odd overs

 

[James]

that's rotten luck for the guy given how long he has waited for a recall, and the timing of it...

 

[FastBowler]

that's rotten luck for the guy given how long he has waited for a recall, and the timing of it...

Maybe he'll now give away his ODI gear.

 

[FastBowler]

Bollinger into the attack.

 

[IAJ]

from cricinfo's commentary:

-Poor, poor Hauritz. Shafted by incompetent selectors all summer and now this. Anyway, here's Watson.

Strong words by cricinfo and this isn't what a reader has posted.

 

[Strike!]

Brainfart from morgan.

 

[James]

Morgan is in terrible form.

Again, it's still a very manageable equation. But no chance with our half-baked attitude and poor form right now.

 

[James]

Bresnan batting with a runner - so, that's another injured seamer, and another cheap wicket round the corner. Nightmare of a series thus far.
