CT: Australia vs England, 6th Match, Jaipur, 09:00 GMT[score updates/discussion]

Read walks, McGrath gets in on the act. we need a classic Collingwood rearguard!
 
Another wicket!
Mcgrath gets Read!
England's pile of **** is getting bigger!
They have lost 7/52 now.
 
Hopefully the selectors recall Jones for the Ashes because Read looks out of his depth at this level.
 
Poor poor poor. I gave us a chance in this game and the opening pair initially justified that faith, but since then its been like watching a village team.

How many times have we batted our full 50 overs lately?
 
Could Gilly get the record for most catches by a keeper?
He has 4 now and needs 2 to equal his previous bestt and equal best overall of 6 catches.
Could he get 7?
 
Seems evertonfan hit it spot on. England were off to a great start and as soon as the first wicket falls expect a collapse.

I think the last time we batted 50 was against Sri Lanka at Headingley earlier this summer where we just scraped 300.

It always happens. It's a sad story but every England fan knows it.
 
England will struggle to get 200 from here.
But our bowling at the death isnt too crash hot either.
 
I'm clutching at straws here but just look at what Vettori and Patel did yesterday. If we can nip in with 50-60 runs here and make 210 then we are in the game at least. At least I can take comfort in the fact that Mahmood isn't a complete mug with the bat and that Harmison is capable of a few meaty blows.
 
Not anymore EF
Mahmood gone!
8/150
Bracken gets a caught and bowled and the pile gets larger!
 
Oh this is ********, England don't deserve to be watched. I'm putting Gillete Soccer Saturday on now.
 
Harmison gone.

Dodgy decision but this joke display doesn't deserve any luck.
 
4 runs to Jimmy Anderson, feels like the day's first boundary!
 
The crappy Johnson and Watson (who were being laughed at yesteday) have combined dismissed 60% of the England team...

Have Australia been bowling good or is it just england's batting?

Both really. Australia have bowled good line and length and asked questions of the batsmen, but its moreso the stupid batting.

Johnson 10 overs, 3-40, imrpessive stuff!

Jimmy Anderson should bat higher than Harmison. He just looks a more capable batsmen IMO.

He's made more runs than flintoff n piterson's scores combined
 
Jimmy looked better than a no.11 throughout last winter and has again here. The real issue is, what is Mahmood doing at no.8 or no.9 in all of our XIs. He is absolutely useless with the bat. Harmison at least plays important little innings sometimes.

Colly might as well open his shoulders, nothing to lose.
 
Quite nice of the UK Cricket embassador to expose the No 11 batsman...in almost every over

Looks more like Jimmy is shielding him instead of the other way around :)))

Well we have 20 more runs than I expected already. Another 40 would be nice :P

Considering the recent matches 169 may not be an easy total.

It hasn't been a batsman's series but England have collapsed horribly today and there is no getting away from it. Hugely disappointing. No point giving up, we can have a go with the new ball but it is looking like home time.

Aus 170 to win.
 
Oh dear, that's the 10th time i've jinxed an England batsman today. Great ball and Jimmy gives England a few bonus runs down the order. I can't really see England taking any wickets today.
 
Well, at least Mr. Ambassador was saved from the carnage by Jimmy...May long live the UK Drug Czar

A job well done :)))
 
Wow, that was poor.

England are a joke of an ODI side, to be honest.
 
England seem to be quite ****** off according to the emails to Sky sports.

On a serious note, it was really frustrating to watch. Collingwood is usually such a good shepherd of the tail as well.
 
Flintoff's form must be worrying for England. He is the guy who can inspire them. With him not bowling, it puts lot of pressure on his batting.
 
Our innings starting in 5 minutes.
Gilly to open with Watto.
I think the 2 openers should be Gilly and Hussey.
It would be much better.
 
Oh -- dismal batting performance by England, the king of ODI cricket.

However, good opening partnership, but utter crap after it.
 
Hint of swing for Jimmy. It would be good on a personal note if Jimmy manages to bowl well today.
 
It would be good on a personal note if Harmison didn't bowl any wides today.
 
Mahmood taking the new ball, let's see how he does.
 
Nice start from Mahmood, if we get the good version of Mahmood today then we have a sniff.

Will you pack it in with this bloody script thing?!
Go tell cav... I can't do anything about it.

I have a contract with him to do this
 
Maybe England have been saved by the lighting? If it stays off for the rest of the match, then its a no result, and England have been saved :O
