Aus v Eng O/D Game 1Sport

octavius

Australia 1 Shane Watson, 2 Brad Haddin (wk), 3 Michael Clarke, 4 Cameron White, 5 David Hussey, 6 Michael Hussey, 7 Steven Smith, 8 Brett Lee, 9 Xavier Doherty, 10 Doug Bollinger, 11 Shaun Tait.

What a joke of a bowling attack, Steve Smith playing as a batter still?

We should be in a rebuild phase yet we are playing a 34 year old Lee?

Tait struggles to bowl 4 overs let alone 10.

Tivers

They play Johnson in the T20's but then not the ODI's ???????????

Rhino

johnson is being rested according to the media... and hauritz has been told that he is playing 2nd game

Tivers

Yeah, Johnson already a lock for WC, so they're trying some others (auditions)

Unknown

9 possible bowlers in the side

if someone is going ordinary lots of options

octavius

We really need Bollinger to rediscover some form...

Unknown

Ive backed England at $2.10 - will probably trade back tho when they firm into 1.80 or less

both teams pretty even i reckon

Tivers

Dads Army getting slapped

Unknown

England going well but a bit lucky I reckon - decided to trade out incase the luck changes

JazzH

Brett Lee is so f*cking useless.
i am sick of him.
Surely he wont be featuring in the world cup :S

octavius

Ian Healy looks like Pigsy from Monkey Magic.

Unknown

how many missed chances so far - Ive lost count

the way its going all 9 will be used

Tivers

If we've got 9 bowlers, then only got 2 bats - and Clarke is one of them = we're rooted !

JazzH

im actually happy out of all of this... drinking a few carlton draught's and am happy with the $1.97 i got for England :D :D

happy days haha

no clarke is one of the bowlers

the batters are Haddin and Hussey

Unknown

and we have no wicket keeper either :roll:

tony

There was an article during the week which said that the main reason Sean Marsh was not selected was that he could not bowl.

Tivers

Yep - not considering anyonw who doesn't bowl.....................WTF ????????????????

Unknown

starting to feel better about laying off now

Smith with the ball was an inspored bowling change

Rhino

haddin having the worst game with the gloves that i can remember

Tivers

Yep - Paine clearly the better option

JazzH

haha haddin 3 stumping chances - misses them all. golly gosh

Unknown

England $1.45
Aussies $3.15

looks about right - Haddin or Watson will need to score a ton I reckon

Haddin should just to make up for his hopeless keeping

Johnson might be able to smash some runs late and Hussey can go a run a ball all day if needed

TorpedoPunt

Brett Lee looked pretty good today.

Even the knockers would have to admit :wink:

Unknown

yep did well when he kept his foot behind the line

Mitch Johnson was woeful again :roll:

Unknown

Aussies into $1.60 now

wonder if England will ever get favoritism back now?

Unknown

Doesnt take long for the betting to swing - England now $1.70

JazzH

Australia cant lose from here!!.... 9 in hand still!

octavius

Not if Clarke stays in, he must have a fair chunk on England to win, dead set loser in the limited overs games...

octavius

CA are taking the piss if they are taking Clarke to the World Cup, he is absolutely horrible in the shorter forms, not sure where that leaves him going forward given the popularity of the shorter formats, but he is a massive liability, and has been for some time.

And Smith fails to impress with the bat once again...

Finch should be given a chance to make his case in this series.
