Symo 4??

Andrew Symonds first ball of his first spell has gone for 4. Australia doesn't look to good at the moment. Michael Clarke will bowl the next over.

 

[James_W]

Wow, lots of detail, very good indeed.

How can you bowl Symonds with medium pace when he bowls off spin in the game

 

[madmick96]

I changed in my roster. Player Editor.

Breakthrough!!

Symonds redeemed* himself from his previous over by dismissing Strauss and Vaughan with terrific In-Swinging deliveries to the both batsmen. Strauss edged it and Gilchrist dived to his left with a terrific catch, while Vaughan edged it and Gilchrist had to dive to his right making a terrific catch and dismissing the skipper for a 4 ball duck.

It's 2-76 after the 23rd Over.

 

[madmick96]

In Clarkes next over he also took the vital wicket of Trescothick, he was caught at the square point area by Martyn for 17 off 46 balls. Andrew Flintoff and Paul Collingwood are at the crease.

It's 3-77 after 25 Overs.

Collingwood gets a move on!

Collingwood has broken the shackles, he hit Symonds for a 4 then a 6. Symo bowled a Half-Volley and Collingwood hooked it for 4. Next ball Symo bowled very wide of Off-Stump and Collingwood hit it over Third Man for 6 with a SUPER-EDGE!

It's 3-87 after 27 Overs.

C'mon Colly

 

[madmick96]

Flintoff hit 1 six and 2 fours on Clarkes 4th Over, if England can get a move on without losing a wicket, their score might be dangerous to the Australian's. Even though this is just a warm-up match, confidence can be a very dangerous weapon.

It's 3-101 after 28 Overs.

England has won the toss for the 1st warm-up match against Australia, England has elected to bat first.

Don Bradman: The pitch is hard which will make it a great batting pitch for the opening batsman, Marcus Trescothick and Andrew Strauss.
Brett Lee is the opening bowler for Australia.

Commentator 2: Brett Lee is the opening bowler for Australia, no runs come off his first over. Shaun Tait is replacing McGrath due to McGrath's wife suffering from breast cancer. Shaun Tait's first over goes for double figures. Strauss hit 1 six and a 4 in Tait's first over.

Don Bradman???

Deep $^&#

Australia are in trouble now they need a wicket or else slogging spree will continue. Flintoff is dangerous now hit 2 sixes and a 2 fours on Clarkes last over for his spell. Clarke bowled a Half-Volley and Flintoof hit it down the ground for 4. Then Clarke bowled Full-Tosses they were dots at first then Flintoff hit one full-toss for six, and then another 4 six. So Clarke bowled a Half-Volley and it got hit over fine-leg for 4.

It's 3-121 after 30 Overs.
