Jade Dernbach going for 12.5 an over......no Ben Stokes.....Ravi Bopara going for more as Aaron Finch goes bonkers.....
I'm worried for England...
-
The boundary on that one side is so tiny!
Cameron White looks good as well.
-
And Broad as captain.........
If Briggs is going to continue to not even try and turn it then we may as well go back to Yardy.
-
Does Maxwell's bat have a sweet spot?
-
Ok - can only see this on cricinfo.
Are we bowling crap, are we bowling fine, is the boundary ridiculous - what's the score here? Have we managed to become crap at T20 also?
-
146 for 2 after 13.4 overs
-
Incredible hitting from the aussies!
Great knocks from White and Finch and Maxwell looks like he is about to get going. That reverse sweep for six was awesome!
-
that boundary is max 70m (probably more like 65m)...

No just brutal batting by Aussies, but when will English captain realize Bopara is not a bowler !
-
Danny Briggs is awful...
He'd be better suited to joining the PDC/BDO rather than playing cricket for England...

Broads done well, bres doing ok, rest (No Swearing Please). Short boundary as well. Average score here is 170!

Oz 158-3 off 15
Bopara - poor start, getting better against the new batsmen in
Dernbach - still overrated, and poor
Broad - good
Wright - shortened his run up and having trouble but did get a nice LBW after a honking above waist no ball
Briggs - might as well just throw the ball over the boundary
Bresnan - good - signs of his old form
Make that 167-3 off 16 rr = 10.2
Australia's batting looks very impressive. Innovation + power = high scores
-
One thing I will say. These Australian Gray nics bats. Make the ball travel

A 108m six is a lot of travel!
186-3 off 18

I don't think this English bowling attack would get picked for a big bash game. Shocking.
200 up.
Is Bailey limping?
-
why oh why do we insist on picking dernbach? I would probably go as far to say he is the worst bowler in county cricket. hasnt played a game since september and keeps thinking no one can spot his slower balls. ive got news for you, we can all pick them, consistantly as you bowl them pretty much every other ball! Ravi bopara shouldnt be in the side either. I know hes been on tour and playing since october but where is stokes? surely stokes and jordan would be better than dernbach and bresnan/bopara?
danny briggs does a job at t20 level but not international level.
on a plus point the boundary is a chip hit for 6 and the aussies have picked a inexperienced leggie havent they? 200 isnt a massive score by the sounds of it.
-
Stokes was struggling physically in the last game I seem to remember.
-
Inexperienced Leggie? I'm pretty sure his only games at pro level are 4 big bash games. Nothing else. Definate clubbie, but I wouldn't out it past him tearing through England. Lol
Pretty dire bowling from England, but that takes slit away from the Aussies batting, which we shouldn't, they batted well, hit the ball hard, and utilised the short boundary.
So hopefully our power batsmen should do the same.
On use side, we're is kp?
Just thinking that
Hales
Lumb
Wright
Kp
Morgan
Buttler
Would be one serious top 6! Powerrrrrrrr

Sums up dernbach, he's 37 off 18 balls, gets a wicket with ball 19 and celebrates. I would be embarrassed to celebrate bowling that tripe.
-
Hales and Wright are going to go CRAZY!
-
Nasser said that England haven't successfully chased a score in the 200's! This batting line up had better fire - this must be Bopara's last chance - he has to get a big score!

I was embarrassed to be English when he celebrated getting finch out in the 150s as if he was the man. I'd have just walked back to my run up with my head down.
-
Dernbach and Briggs are every bit as clubbie as Nathan Lyon is in Test cricket. There's just nothing to them in terms of threat.

Thats why Lyon out bowled Swann in the recent test series - get over it mate... his record is not that bad.
Will never be a match winner, but does a fantastic holding job for the quicks
-
Great power hitting by the Aussies but with England's batting and these small boundaries should hopefully be a good chase.
-
Hales bat looks like it has springs in the face. Those balls are rocketing off it!!
-
Especially when Muirhead bowls... should be a slugfest!

I'm going to keep calling it the way it is! He outbowled a guy who was crocked and admitted he should have retired, whose shoe laces he would not have been fit to tie when he was fit...gee, way to go!
-
45-3 (lumb, hales, wright) off 5 Morgan and root in and both new to the crease
-
Wright and Hales gone in an over. Good way to start the chase for a team that are stronger in T20's
-
Morgan to guide England home!
-
or not
-
51-4....Morgan gone sweeping straight over a lamentably slow uninspiring delivery from maxwell that had no turn whatsoever. I think we need a more modern batting coach...the game has changed...
-
This is gold!!!!!
-
Altona Cricket Club player hit for six... nothing new

How did swann go from match winner in England to someone over the hill in Australia in less than 6 mths ?

You'd have to ask him that - I'm only quoting his own views on the state of his fitness, though in fairness it was clear from halfway through last Summer that he wasn't right.
-
I've been too gobsmacked to type. Bopara has put in an inspiring knock but he has had no support. Alas I believe we are about to chalk up another impressive loss.....
-
Bopara's fault they lost again
-
Bopara would have done enough to merit another 3 tours of playing for England, It does have a trend that he plays poorly, Has one good knock and he is the saviour again......
-
he is another who doesn;t benefit from consistency of selection from the Egland selectors. To be fair, he does some brainless stuff though...
-
Stokes in place of Dirtbag would have guaranteed victory...Eng have made one mistake after another on this tour...its like they are asking to be punished!
-
I bet the England lads just want to get home!
-
Stokes could hardly walk after last week so I think the rest was justified. However I hope his career doesn't follow flintoff and is plagued by injury.

For a meaningless T20I it makes sense to rest him.
-
Just when you it couldnt get much worse! Awful batting performance summed up by bresnan "dil" scooping into his own stumps
-
Chased down within 10 overs?
-

In recent times one of the most disappointing tours. EngLand wanted to go home very early in the tour.
I like what Rugby does NZ, Aust., SA and Argentina. In relation to cricket England, SA, Aust and India ( maybe home games only!) is great viewing, the rest are boring!
-
I wouldn't want to come home to the caning they are getting in the tabloids.
The quicker the next tour starts the better!
-
dont know about inside 10 but definitely inside 15!
Eaisly the worse tour i can remember, even the last 5-0 England got some pride back in the limited overs stuff
