Lol I'm 98% sure that's right. Someone else may be able to fully clarify.

I know Watson has been to GM to discuss bat shapes and handles etc...

[espocrespo]

I think I would have picked prior for this game Purely as a batsmen, Luke wright seems just neither here nor there.

And prior hit 50 for vics

Watched the end of it at Lords haha, top game it seemed. Loving GM's revolutionary flexi-handle though. What next? No handle..?

So, the second T20 starts between England and Australia.

Both teams unchanged, has rained a lot, Aus win the toss and bat first.

lol bresnan running round like a headless chicken

[alexrickyponting]

watson, bloody hell that was massive!

[mattw]

Good captaincy from collingwood to keep Woakes on and he's got his reward with the key wicket of Watson

[alexrickyponting]

agreed good captaincy there, how come england open the bowling with a guy slower than watson?

[mattw]

Think they're just giving him some experience at International level. He's only 21 or so, so his pace will hopefully develop.

Normally it would be broad/anderson/tremlett etc, but due to other circumstances they cant play.

[pup12]

I know Broad is injured, Anderson is resting....But why isn't Tremlett playing?!

[alexrickyponting]

fair enough, i just thought they must have someone quicker than him lol
paine is doing very well

[mattw]

Spoke too soon


I guess Tremlett is getting a rest. I presume he will start in the odi's?

[mdl_1979]

Am sure Tremlett will play in the ODIs.  They will be rotating their bowlers throughout the series.

[mattw]

great decision from the ump.

[alexrickyponting]

  dont quite see how you can think of giving it if it hits the batsmen above the knee roll while hes on tiptoe and 6 foot 2 or something
god i hate david hussey, swann bowled well
