Australia v England, 3rd ODI, Sydney, 19 January, 2014

Wood - horse, horse - wood.

Girls. Rolf has been accused of molesting girls.

On the bright side for English, at least this was not a soul destroying defeat snatched from the jaws of victory. You never once looked like getting close.

Little girls. That's okay then. Nowt odd about Rolf.

The only time the crab twins go at a reasonable S/R and you have some daywalker crabbing it up at three... Oh well. Don't think 300 would've been enough, anyway. It's a sorry state that Ravi's in the side for his bowling more than his batting. Still, at least he can keep it tight... because it's flabby all the way through otherwise. 5-0 & 5-0 we wonder... what we don't wonder if anything will change afterwards, because we know it won't.

Like Punter himself trying to claim a catch after dragging the ball on the ground...

same could be said of strauss when he claimed a catch that hit the ground.

If it is Wavey Davey it explains the inability to use capital letters and write in proper sentences.

The obvious difference being, Strauss wasn't the self-appointed guardian of the "spirit of cricket".

ROFL @ Punter trying to take the high ground on anything

Was it as bad as it looks from the score?

Worse.

Yep.

Never got within a mile of victory. Even though they only took 40 overs, the reality is they cruised it in comfortably.

because the English keeper (presume he is) tried to cheat..that was the worst I have seen since Greg Dyer and Ian healy

Bullshit. He thought he caught it and he DID catch it. And Warner was prepared to go.

warner took his word for it...it clearly bounced into the gloves and Nonenttler knew it

ironically yesterday it was Nonenttler who carried on more than Morgy...Clarke appropriately told the cheat to .... off

Henry wrote:We know how this goes now- England will scratch their way to 230, then Aus will come out and blaze away, and reach the target two wickets down in the 40th over.

Pretty much yep. Except Aus lost one wicket too many.

CLEARLY bounced? Once again- Bullshit. Clarke seemed to trap the ball between his fingers and the ground but funnily enough you didn't get your colostomy bag in a twist over it.

and nonenttler knew it...could see it on his face..doubt he will ever play for england again after this tour...would not have happened with J Knicks
