[Friend786]

150 comes up for australia

 

[Friend786]

Aus 152/4 after 31 overs

 

[James]

getting Hussey was BIG. can keep them to 250 now.

 

[AZ]

Clarkey playing a lovely knock, some exquisite strokes.

 

[hashbb]

Australia should aim for about 260-ish

 

[adnan yasin]

England is bowling goood .. but i think 270 odd runs will be tough ask to chase on this ground underlights

 

[adnan yasin]

Broad get the wicket of Hauritz ..

played a good short knock

 

[adnan yasin]

267/7 in 50 overs

CLARKE .. didnt score much in the end ... finish with 89*


268 will be tough to chase... hopefully they ll get a flier from KIEWSTER

 

[James]

will still be light til 9-10ish, and 270 is gettable. could go either way.

 

[mindless slogging]

Consecutive boundaries for Strauss off Bollinger.

 

[mindless slogging]

Aleem Dar makes a gem of a decision.

0.5
Bollinger to Strauss, no run, 89.2 mph, ooh, first real test for Strauss, full and straight, drifting in a touch and rapping Strauss on the pads, would have uprooted middle but there was a faint inside edge

Cricinfo

 

[hashbb]

Cricinfo hahah

This should be fun, Kevin Pietersen has come out to bat, in his 100th ODI. He got a warm reception from his 'home' crowd

 

[AZ]

KP gets a huge life, clear edge off Harris!

Kieswetter looking good.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Harris 96mph!

 

[AZ]

Shoottttt, gorgeous off drive from CK.

 

[AZ]

There has to be something wrong with those speed guns, no way Harris can be bowling that quick.

 

[AZ]

Hazlewood, youngest ever Australian debutant, on to bowl.

and smashed for by KP

[AZ]

over mid-off for

CK not holding back.

 

[AZ]

England 50 for 1 after 10 overs.

 

[hashbb]

^^ How does Hazelwood look, is he fast? similar to Aamer?

 

[AZ]

Edged past slip for

KP lucky again!

 

[Xoib]

^^ How does Hazelwood look, is he fast? similar to Aamer?

taller so naturally gets more bounce pace is samish and is capable of moving both ways a much better prospect them Aamer.

 

[AZ]

^^ How does Hazelwood look, is he fast? similar to Aamer?

Tall, looks to hit the pitch and look for movement and bounce, 86-88 mph...quite accurate.

 

[AZ]

Absolutely blasted thru extra cover! Imperious shot by KP!

 

[Atif]

Come on England, rough up the Aussies before Pak play them

 

[AZ]

50 partnership, off 57 balls.

 

[James]

batsmen with multiple lives, fielding errors, some ordinary bowling. couldn't really be going any better for England at the moment. but that could all change so quickly.

 

[AZ]

over mid-on this time, Twatson looks on with despair!

 

[James]

Pietersen gone, oh well, got 29 bonus runs out of him considering he was out ages ago...still lots of good batting to come, and Kieswetter looks imperious yet again.

 

[AZ]

Huge wicket! Ponting dives forward at point and takes a smart catch! Loose shot from KP, gone for 29.

 

[Atif]

KP OUT, good catch by Ponting

 

[AZ]

Hooked for

Kieswetter!

 

[Atif]

 

[AZ]

England 81 for 2 off 16 overs.

 

[AZ]

right after the drinks break! Kieswetter is dismissed by Hazlewood, clean bowled!

 

[AZ]

England in some trouble now, need a partnership.

 

[giri26]

England need these two to stay for a while, if they have to get close to the Aussie total.

 

[Desi]

Another one goes. And holy **** Harris, that man is bowling fast...

 

[Friend786]

what was the fastest ball of the match ?

 

[James]

going to be very very tight. I reckon Australia will nick it.

 

[Desi]

Look at that English tail though. Everyone can bat, Pakistan are going to be in trouble...
What are the main changes from the English ODI squad to test squad (those that know)?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Morgan and Wright developing a good partnership here for England

 

[jattafridi]
