*Official* Australia in England T20s and ODIs

[kingkallis]

England should have sent Shah @ No.4

 

[superkingdave]

At least we've a long batting line-up today, Bresnan/Swann at 10 and Sidebottom at 11

 

[Craig]

Considering that England just beat the world number one team, if we beat them today, then you could say we're the best cricket team in the world. I'll lynch anyone who claims otherwise.

But the Dutch beat England in T20. So therefore the Netherlands > Australia?

 

[TT Boy]

Denly is ****ed. He can't afford to get out now because he has wasted countless overs but at the same time, he needs to up the ante and play some shots

 

[B.Scott4England]

You seriously think he'd have been 'noticed' if he played for Lancashire or the like?

England seem to love going with southern batsmen (who are usually soft and rubbish).

Anderson, Mahmood, Chapple, Hegg, Crawley, Atherton, Freddie, Loye

But not many genuine wicket takers. England will need a decent total because they haven't got the bowling today.

 

[Craig]

Is this pitch really hard to score off or have England just picked journeymen?

 

[TT Boy]

Anderson, Mahmood, Chapple, Hegg, Crawley, Atherton, Freddie, Loye

And Lloyd, Austin, Martin, Fairbrother et cetera...

 

[Craig]

TBF Fairbrother was a good ODI cricketer.

 

[superkingdave]

Chapple pretty unlucky tbf, only got his recognition too late in his career.

Missed off Wakker, Gallian & Schofield aswell(thought the later two only played tests)

 

[TT Boy]

Indeed he was but just illustrating a point to Scaly that the supposedly less known county of Lancashire have had a plethora of cricketers who have represented England in the past years. Fairbrother's selection was fair but a couple of those Lancashire guys were picked purely on nepotism, namely the then England coach's son.

 

[Craig]

Prior is out.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Anderson, Mahmood, Chapple, Hegg, Crawley, Atherton, Freddie, Loye

I'm on about the last 5-10 years. You can give the idiotic examples a rest now especially considering I was referring to batsmen.

 

[TT Boy]

Prior gone. Surely England should be writing off his limited over career now. His been given every position in the order and he still can't produce.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Sounds like a village dismissal from Prior.

Botha is barely medium.

 

[GIMH]

Shocking stuff, Uppercut must be having fun

 

[superkingdave]

Quality innings from Collingwood

 

[GIMH]

collywobbles

can't see anything but defeat from here

 

[Scaly piscine]

Unless someone happens to be watching we don't know what the pitch is like.

But anyway there's always rain.

 

[superkingdave]

aim for 220-230?
