Two T20Is: England v Australia

[Themer]

I think this could be a good game as the teams are quite even to be honest as Australia have been quite poor in Twenty/20s and so are England.

England bowling first colly opts to bowl, aussies wanted to bat first = aussies win the toss.

I think rain will have the final say anway. It is Manchester we're talking about.

I'm happy with bowling first. It was awful watching us trying to set a total in the world cup earllier in the summer.

 

[The_gas]

Our team looks crap without a flintoff or kp in the order.

Sadly I would have to agree. There just doesn't seem to be a player in that lineup with an x-factor.

 

[Ollie_H]

Yeah, its on very soon.

Good to see some colour, sick of seeing shitty whites (Australian players in test uniforms).

Slightly Bitter? How's the smile?

 

[Themer]

I wouldn't be suprised if one of the teams has a horrific collapse and don't make 80.

 

[Ollie_H]

Anyone else gonna listen to the fanzone commentary?

 

[Howsie]

Sidebottom looks really sharp.

 

[Themer]

Everytime I've seen Sidebottom play this season he's looked very good. His pace is right back up there. Decent start by England no boundaries but there's been way to many singles for England's liking.

As I type a Four

 

[Howsie]

:laugh England know not to bowl short at Warner right?

 

[aussie1st]

Warner looks like hes going to get out to that pull shot, got lucky quite a bit so far.

He'll eventually work out the pace of the pitch and get going I reckon.

And just as I type this Broad comes into the attack, Warner will get stuck into him.

 

[aussie1st]

English commentators haven't seen much of Warner, they think bowling to his body is his weakness :laugh Got the wrong opener guys. Agree Howsie, once he gets his timing that ball into his body will be in the stands.

 

[Howsie]

Watson's gone.

That was close, Warner would of been out with a better throw.

Howsie added 2 Minutes and 24 Seconds later...

Looking forward to watching Nannes, Lee and Johnson bowl on this pitch.
