Australia vs England | 2nd ODI | The Oval | 1/7/12

DRS saves the whites in a game against the whites.
 
Haven't been watching it actually, just finished work. Been following a bit of it on my 3G. How have England done?

Bell did pretty well but overall, Austalian bowling has been utter garbage to the point where McKay is their best bowler and Mitch has to be the 2nd best, Lee has been that crap and I don't rate Doherty. Also, Clarke is having to bowl and has looked more threatening than Doherty. Watson's been okay but has also bowled more garbage than he ought. Overall, half the runs England have scored have been gifts
 
Looks from the UAE games and this series that Ravi has improved his attitude and his technique a heck of a lot.
 
You know things are bad when Johnno is your 2nd best bowler.
 
Ian bell thus far has justified his inclusion.

Superb stuff.

5-0 here we come!!!!!

If England win 5-0 they will top the ODI rankings for the first time, and simultaneously become the first team to top all three ranking tables at once. Wow. But I think 3-2 is more likely, as with the series two years ago.
 
What is Aussie doing? Their team isn't as good anymore, this much is clear, but that's not their fault. What they can control is their attitude. And they look to have given up.

Treble here we come!

Hai hai hai!

Cannot wait!

0-58 from Lee's overs does not sound like him.
 
Brett Lee is bowling one juicy ball every over. Doherty doesnt know how spin a ball. They are all horrible.
 
Australia trying the old tactic of losing a series badly before a major
tournament.
just like wc 2007

Their team is their problem. How does Johnson get a look in ahead of Pattinson? How does Doherty get selected ahead of another pacer? Why doesn't Clarke bowl more? And who in the world selected Forrest and Bailey over some of the others?
 
either England had become an excellent odi team or else Australia have begun their freefall

how many ODIs has England won consecutively? Should be 8 now at least?
 
This new crop of Aussie players don't put price on their wickets. They make pretty 50s and then give it away.
 
Short Story. Once upon a time Australia was a dominating force in world cricket. The end.
 
Well, this is surprising. Eight wins on the bounce! England will head up the ODI rankings, but how far?
 
England might win every ODI for the next year but it still makes one cringe thinking of England as the possible Number 1 ODI team

Would be great for English fans to finally start appreciating ODI's.

Still would loathe it. It will be a travesty if England go to number 1 in odis. We were drubbed in India and Australia.
