*Official* Australia in England T20s and ODIs

[andyc]

England should take this easily from here IMO. If our bowling from the T20WC is anything to go by, this'll all be over by the 16th over, even with England doing the chasing.

 

[GIMH]

It's probably because if D/L comes into the equation to any extent it's a guaranteed win for England.

In the World T20, England set the West Indies 162 to win in twenty overs, at a run rate of 8.1 per over. Rain came, and the chase was shortened. Duckworth-Lewis decreed that instead of scoring at 8.1 an over for twenty overs, the West Indies need only score at 8.8 an over for nine overs.

Any rain at all and you're home and dry.

Yep, that's exactly why Colly opted to chase, and fair enough too

Yeah. Colly's a pretty shocking captain but at least he learns from his mistakes.

 

[GIMH]

Restart delayed, bit of a pain as I have plans later

 

[pasag]

Not going to say anything

Haha, anyone else want to nominate Clarke's innings as the worst ever in a 20/20 International? Painful. Voges gets to face all of 8 balls, Paine and Johnson get nothing. No point in batting down to ten if we can't accelerate. Hussey was great aswell.

Feel like Scaly.

 

[GIMH]

We've never won a T20i without KP as far as I know, if any of you Aussie gents want cheering up

edit, that being said I'm not sure how many he has actually missed, can only think of one off the top of my head

 

[four_or_six]

Given the Aussies are all out there bowling, can't we get on with it?

 

[pasag]

If you look at the stats he's easily Australia's best T20 international batsman... I'm very surprised he wasn't straight on the teamsheet in the world cup, seems mad.

Meh, he's ok. Not good in pressure situations or when the bowling is any good though would have him in the side and he should have played the first Twenty20 world champs. As for best Australian Twenty20 bat, Brad Hodge is yer man.

To thank them for picking Clarke we've agreed to face the first two overs without any batsmen

Haha, couldn't care less if we lost, tbh.

Then you're a clown, this is the biggest Eng-Aus clash in a week

 

[pasag]

Then you're a clown, this is the biggest Eng-Aus clash in a week

We could win the ODI series and the Twenty20s 9-0 and we'll still have lost the Ashes

 

[GIMH]

Yep, should be the curtain raiser this

Anyone know what the latest we can finish here is?

Johnson will go for about 6/7 wides.

 

[Jamee999]

Lol Michael Clarke.

 

[four_or_six]

This team would look a lot better if you swapped in Ponting for Clarke.

 

[stumpski]

Johnson will go for about 67 wides.

Corrected.

Looks like it's still raining to me.

 

[GIMH]

Nice start from the openers
