England v Australia | 5th ODI | Nottingham | 9/15/09

[Afridi_Fan]

Its such a releif for the oppositions that there is no Hayden and Gilchrsit at the top for the Aussies.

 

[Juggernaut]

Edit

 

[Afridi_Fan]

can the mods merge both the threads?

 

[Juggernaut]

Accidentally posted this in the wrong ODI thread anyway:

Bumble and Beefy predict Australia and India to go through from Group A. Champions trophy that is.

They both say Pakistan are slow starters and thus India are a nudge ahead for them. They say if the tourney was a longer one they'd probably bank on Pakistan to get through.

Anyway, Lets prove their choices wrong YK

Absoltuely fantastic mind blowing shot from Ponting.

Check Drive for 6.

Best six for a long time.

English commentators going all nuts after the shot

 

[Amjid Javed]

Watson gone. mistimes a pull and goes to bresnan.

76/2 after 14.4

 

[Amjid Javed]

Aussies keeping required rate around 6.33 which they should be able to get at.

89/2 after 17 overs.

 

[Nazir_ Rules]

129/2 after 25

 

[Nazir_ Rules]

2 Fours in a row!

Required rate : 6.65

Current rate : 5.44

 

[Nazir_ Rules]

i prdict a win for england but still to early to say anything.

 

[Nazir_ Rules]

141 to win from 130

 

[Cover Drive]

122 runs with 8 wickets and 18.0 overs remaining

 

[On_the_up]

Ponting with 2 consecutive sixes off Rashid to move on to 97.

 

[On_the_up]

Boy will England be glad to see the back of this series.

 

[OZGOD]

Wow Dubya is pounding them at the moment.

 

[On_the_up]

Punter with another 100

 

[On_the_up]

His previous one was in Feb 2008 apparently.

 

[On_the_up]

Clarke hit one straight to deep midwkt. out for 52

 

[Cover Drive]

Clarke goes for 52

 

[Cover Drive]

Here comes Mike Hussey

 

[On_the_up]

Mike Hussey the next man in.

 

[On_the_up]

Rashid the wkt taker, rank long hop really.

 

[On_the_up]

Hussey smashes one through midwkt, it was short and asked to be hit. Was hit extremely hard.

 

[Cover Drive]

Four by Ponting, very well struck

 

[On_the_up]

Ponting totally at ease against Rashid. Hits him for a boundary and a couple of easy runs.

 

[On_the_up]

226-3 (39)

 

[Cover Drive]

Swann should have been selected instead of Rashid. Rashid bowling is just too expensive and Swann batting is much better than Rashid as well

 

[On_the_up]

Hussey out now.

 

[Cover Drive]

Gonee Hussey

 

[Cover Drive]

Trying to hit over Sidebottom over covers mistimes it

 

[On_the_up]

Out for 6, 226-4. Mascharenas the wkt taker

 

[Cover Drive]

Hussey's average is almost dropping by 1 run as he is not being able to score runs

 

[Cover Drive]

Here comes Ferguson

 

[Cover Drive]

Nice try by Sidebottom

 

[Cover Drive]

Ahh it was very close

 

[Cover Drive]

Bopara comes on to bowl

 

[Cover Drive]

Misfield by Broad cost 4 runs

 

[Cover Drive]

four by Ponting, bopara bowls short Ponting pulls extremely well

 

[Cover Drive]

Broad begins his spell with a wide

 

[Fawad_Bhai]

Ponting is on fire!!!
121 not out

 

[Cover Drive]

MOrgan gets unlucky over there

 

[Cover Drive]

Broad dives but in vain as the ball goes past Broad hand and rope

 

[Cover Drive]

These Englsih bowlers can't bowl yorkers whatsoever

 

[Cover Drive]

Seriously Ferguson is a good player. I am seeing him batting for the first time and this lad has impressed me

 

[Cover Drive]

Australia need 47 off 42 balls

 

[Fawad_Bhai]

These Englsih bowlers can't bowl yorkers whatsoever

U reckon to coach them?

 

[Fawad_Bhai]

Power Play 3 taken

 

[Cover Drive]

U reckon to coach them?

I hope he doesn't do that once he retires like

 

[Fawad_Bhai]

Why doesnt our Kaptani play as good as Ponting?

 

[Cover Drive]

Ferguson is out now. plumb

 

[Cover Drive]

Broad gets a wicket

 

[On_the_up]

5 down, Broad with the latest wkt, Ferguson out

 

[On_the_up]

Are Australia about to make a mess of it?

 

[On_the_up]

Cameron White the man in

 

[On_the_up]

44 of 38 required

 

[Cover Drive]

Are Australia about to make a mess of it?

HOpefully

 

[Cover Drive]

If Ponting falls then Australia are gone

 

[On_the_up]

bad ball, full toss guided square for 4 by Ponting

 

[Cover Drive]

But he is playing so well that he won't even mistime a ball

 

[Fawad_Bhai]

I remember Cameron White in the first season of IPL. He was such a bad player. He surely has improved alot since then.

 

[On_the_up]

now a wide

 

[On_the_up]

I remember Cameron White in the first season of IPL. He was such a bad player. He surely has improved alot since then.

Has been doing well in county cricket for a while

 

[Cover Drive]

Look at Broads reaction...lolll

 

[Fawad_Bhai]

So if Aus win today, they take no.1 ranking??

 

[On_the_up]

Punter GONE!

 

[Cover Drive]

Finally Ponting is out..Shah takes the catch

 

[Da Best]

They should have brought in White before Hussey and Ferguson. The guy would have hit some big ones against Bopara.

 

[On_the_up]

261-6

39 off 36 req

well well well

 

[On_the_up]

8 runs and 2 wkts in that over by Broad, Shah with the catch on the boundary.

 

[Fawad_Bhai]

2 for Broad, in that over.

 

[Cover Drive]

Finally a yorker!!!!!

 

[Cover Drive]

White gets a boundary, angles Bresan and races toward fine fine leg

 

[Fawad_Bhai]

I hav seen many teams take the third power play, and suddenly their well set batsmen get out.

 

[Da Best]

Can Mitchell Johnson do something for Australia here ? He can definitely hit some big ones.

35 needed of 34.

 

[Cover Drive]

Misfield by Prior and cost 4 more

 

[Fawad_Bhai]

Good Innings by Ponting

 

[Cover Drive]

REquired Run Rate goes below 6 a wicket is needed ASAP
