DHussey 3 off 8 and YT 1 off 3 at the moment.

It's no wonder we never pick Vixen for the test side.

by Nath Wed 12 Jan 2011, 09:52

Lee, Tait and Johnson's bowling will all be speeding to the boundary. Poms to win in 12 overs

FFS. Is there any form of this ridiculous sport that Australia is not a disgrace in?

F*ck Luke Wright is rubbish. We've got out test team sorted but there are too many passengers in the one day squad.

by Henry Wed 12 Jan 2011, 11:29

They keep hitting balls at a catchable height. Either go in the air, or along the ground. Not in-between. Fools.

by JGK Wed 12 Jan 2011, 11:34

So it turns out that YT is actually as crap a captain as Ponting and Clarke.

by Henry Wed 12 Jan 2011, 11:38

England have pissed this game away. Nothing but a string of poor shots.

by Henry Wed 12 Jan 2011, 11:47

Swanny you idiot. This game is the most complacent i've seen him in an England shirt.

by Henry Wed 12 Jan 2011, 11:52

WOOOOOOOOOAKES!

Mighty impressive innings there. England win by one wicket.

by JGK Wed 12 Jan 2011, 11:54

So England beat Shane Watson and 10 other imposters.

The Vixen lost this for us.

Phurt, the other two didn't have to deal with Bung or Tait in their side all summer, much less both of them. Picking the Goat ahead of either of them would have made the difference.

POCson almost literally won the game on his own though.

by Paul Keating Wed 12 Jan 2011, 12:05

Gotta say that was mighty stupid of Swann.

by Henry Wed 12 Jan 2011, 12:16

Swanny wasn't there today. Head still spinning from the Ashes. Could probably do with the first couple of ODIs off. Pity that James Tredwell would be his replacement in that scenario.

by JKLever Wed 12 Jan 2011, 12:34

Haven't seen this yet, will watch the highlights (?) later..... what happened to Australias innings after that over from Swann? Looked like they were coasting to 180+

Aye, a complete passenger. How many times does he pick up a pay cheque having done next to fark all.... no wonder all the yoof want to get into T20

by Henry Wed 12 Jan 2011, 12:41

The only thing Wright brings to the side on a regular basis is 100% commitment in the field. I've got no doubt he tries. Just isn't good enough with either bat or ball. The penny surely must drop soon.

by Guest Wed 12 Jan 2011, 12:48

We just can't seem to lose at the moment.

Meaningless carp obviously, but nice to have the record.

by Guest Wed 12 Jan 2011, 12:49

WTF is Luke Wright still doing playing for England? Beggars belief.

I think Lee's loose last over tilted the balance in England's favour. Watson deservedly won the MoM - an unusual occurrence by a member of the losing side in a T20. Good debut by Woakes who may take over the role Wright had in England's limited-overs sides when Broad returns.

You mean the role of making no runs and getting smashed with the ball?

For Woakes's sake I hope not.

Touche, Henry. Embarassed

SOK and GCS dropping Belf didnt help

by JKLever Wed 12 Jan 2011, 16:05

Seen a few highlights.... so good to see our intention at the top of the order no matter who is in possession. Got to be prepared to burn a couple of wickets to get a quick start.

The fielding for Australia this tour is the worst i've seen since 1985

by Henry Wed 12 Jan 2011, 16:44

The worrying thing for Aus is that nearly all of the young guys coming into the team are only average fielders.
