Blast to the Past - 1st ODI Australia v England, celebrating 40 years

[Biggy]

You have Cam White and the Hussey's sittin' on the bench and you send out Steve Smith?

 

[McLOVIN]

Hussey or Cam could have score 10 from those 4/5 balls

Smith can manage to hit fours in powerplays, while other can hit fours and sixes anytime.

Ya, so why save em? Bring em on finish the game.

Well w/e that thing is gone.

 

[WORLD CHAMPIONS]

Smith gone, i guess its Hussey time now

 

[midgetwars]

So you preserve your important wickets? For what

For after powerplay and they need to chase runs.

I just said that! Look at all these guys in here defend that move. I guess that's why Aus are going down hill. They are over thinking things.

 

[midgetwars]

Watson and M.Hussey suicide fast runners.

Interesting time to experiment given we could use some momentum. Hussey is definitely the man for this situation as he just showed. White and Dussey need time to get in.

The funny thing is, if they reckon the batting powerplay gets people out, why don't they bring the field in to batsmen more and try to get them out that way?

 

[midgetwars]

Hussey is the king of hitting balls on the rope on a full. He's done that many times.

 

[aussie1st]

This is why I wouldn't mind a Ferguson in our squad, he is the closest thing to Hussey and he can do pretty similar to him with less of those brilliant Hussey 6s.

 

[McLOVIN]

Look at him go. Watto get a runner please, before you run the beast out

You can't run out Hussey. Only Hussey runs out people as well as Watson. That's what i mean by Suicide Runners.

Shahzad has been awesome tonight, that guy has a big future in this game. Carries on the English trend of being able to reverse swing it and hes been accurate.

 

[WORLD CHAMPIONS]

Mr Cricket is gone is this the last over of the powerplay ??

 

[aussie1st]

Over to the home town stars to get us home. Hopefully Bear finds his old form not his recent T20 one.
