I can't remember if I put on any more than three ODI's but anyway here is the reult of the last one
England 185-8
Vaughan 64
Alleyne 42
Lee 38-4
Warne 34-3
Australia 188-2
Gilchrist 69
Ponting 64
Gough 33-1
Australia win by 8 wickets
Bah would'nt have lost if it was'nt for the partneship between Gilchrist and Ponting.
So onto the Ashes and hopefully some better performances from the players and me the Sqaud for the first test is:
Ramprakash
Evans
Vaughan
Richardson
White
Bulbeck
Hamilton
Alleyne
Giles
Gough
Hoggard
Dean
The result was:
Australia 378-10
Gilchrist 108
Martyn 87
Slater 45
Ponting 41
Giles 108-5
White 44-2
All was going well but when Gilchrist and Martyn came in there partnership saved Australia. So I come in with the pitch going well for batters.
England 356-10
Richardson 81 NO
Ramprakash 78
Bulbeck 46
Evans 42
Warne 100-6
Gillespie 73-2
So a great start by Evans and Rampra's taking us to 108 before losing a wicket then in came Vaughan who did well to get 32 and then in came Scotty Richardson who stayed for the rest of the innings in the end getting 81 then he partnered White in a 36 runs partnership then Bulbeck and Richardson made 56 but then the bowlers went out cheaply. Aussies come in on a great batting strip.
Australia 423-6
Slater 138
S Waugh 86
Ponting 78
M Waugh 56
Martyn 47
Gough 61-2
Giles 100-2
So after a good start getting Hayden out for a duck quickly great innings from the retso f the batsman give Aussies 423 score. So England come in on a bad batting pitch after over 400 runs in 1 day. Lets see chasing 400 on a warn pitch ready for the bowlers to come on to destroy the batting order lets see who won.
England 107-10
White 27
McGrath 31-6
Warne 18-3
So despite going for a draw we are humiliated in the last innings and humiliated all together.
Australia win by 338 runs
Now the second test sqaud
Ramprakash
Trescothick
Vaughan
Giles
White
Bulbeck
Hamilton
Evans
Richardson
Blakey
Hoggard
Chaple
In this one I accidently pressed skip match instead of play match so the computer controlled the team this is what happened I am not going into detail
Australia 520-10
Hayden 133
M Waugh 101
Hoggard 94-4
Bulbeck 100-3
England 209-10
Richardson 66
Evans 47
Warne 81-4
Lee 130-3
England (Follow on) 178-10
Vaughan 57
White 27
Gillespie 47-4
slaughtered 2-0 down.
The third test selection saw two changes in the gamw I most win they were Trescothick out for Brown and Hamilton out for Stuart Thomas of Glamorgan.
Australia 241-10
M Waugh 57
Slater 42
Thomas 48-3
Giles 58-3
Not bad good bowling from Stuart Thomas on his debut.
England 273-10
Bulbeck 85 no
Vaughan 50
Warne 41-3
Lee 108-3
I think from the start I could go on to win this test and save the series.
Australia 509-7 Dec
Slater 121
Martyn 107
Chapple 79-3
Hoggard 160-2
I thought this would happen with my luck the Aussies come up with a gigantic score to give me a score to chase of around 500 so first thought try play it out get the draw. I look at the forecast and it is due to rain most of the day so Yes I could get the draw.
England 193-10
Vaughan 47
Brown 29
Warne 28-3
McGrah 65-3
I wanna say that I batted wel but every time a partnership formed and it looked good it rained and the confidence went down and the aussies took me dow.
3-0 NO I LOST THE ASHES
England 185-8
