Vintage watto

 

[jambo]

Watson, Sigh. Right through the middle.

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

lol Watson/

 

[dejay]

Now to see if they can restrict watson.

I think they did ok

 

[hamchan]

That's Watson alright.

 

[elfinke]

Vintage watto

Haha

 

[Antiwhippy]

I think they did ok

Yeah, good stuff.

 

[jambo]

It is truly a joy to watch Michael Clarke drive the ball.

Edit: holy shit Finch is fast.

 

[reptilescorpio]

Great knock Finchy!

 

[Antiwhippy]

Well played by finch.

 

[bobnowhere]

That was a brutally dismissive cross bat smash down to long off from the captain there.

Poor old Bresnan, he looks like one of those fat blokes who thinks that if he wears a skin tight shirt if will fool people into thinking it's muscle.

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Good tonne.

Brisbane should be all pace, just to fuck with the Poms. Johnson, Cummins, Harris....... bring back Tate.

Just bang em in short all game.

 

[dejay]

Did I just see Luigi in the crowd?

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Dat Luigi.

 

[dejay]

Nice little knock there by big bird.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Watch england get the six remaining wickets.

 

[hamchan]

Seemed way too easy for the Aussies. Would be a bit sad if the one day series was also 5-0.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Man it's getting increasingly sadder to watch cook in these interviews.

He has those faraway eyes.

 

[Moxx19]

What was with the McKay hate earlier? He has been our best ODI bowler for years and is the first one named in the squad for good reason. Him having a few ordinary Big Trash League games means nothing.

And lol at Bell getting clean bowled by Derpaty.

 

[leng jai]

Finch dropped on 8? Nothing has changed since the test series I see.

I think H.protagonist is right, he looks like a guy in need of a hug and for someone important to tell him it will all be alright.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

As a Scotsman i would like to thank my Australian counterparts for absolutely thrashing the English in this series.

Watson to miss Gabba ODI
http://www.cricket.com.au/news-list/2014/1/13/shane-watson-to-miss-gabba-odi

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Cook out for 1 in the PM's 11 to Binga, bad summer.

And Johnson shaved his mo

 

[Antiwhippy]

Yeah cook can't get anything going recently.

Chris Jordan has a weird ass run up.

 

[A More Normal Bird]

Chris Jordan has a weird ass run up.

He's no Paul "The Gazelle" Adams.

 

[bobnowhere]

Chris Jordan has a weird ass run up.

I noticed it during the first ODI, he reminds me a little of Shaun Tait actually not quite to his extreme though. Really short delivery stride and stomps his front foot down almost vertically. He's already been plagued by injury and I imagine he continually will be until he learns to run through the crease. Though saying that, there is something about him, good talent.

You can always tell the bowlers that will have injury trouble, they have jerky changes of momentum.

He also seems to stop accelerating about 5mt short of the popping crease. I reckon he'd be just as fast off a shorter run up, and it may well save him a few injuries. Maybe Gillespie (or Brett) should have a chat with him...

Also, lol at the PM's XI result. Team played as well as the eponymous PM governs.

 

[bomma_man]

First win of the summer! This is like the Wii U outselling the PS3 by 10 000 in March 2015.

 

[bobnowhere]

...and the thunder won for the first time in more than 700 days. It could he the first two signs of the coming apocalypse.

I'm going to put $100 on Melbourne Heart winning their next match.

'At least a house on fire gets some Ashes' (video)

lol.

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Wonder why the players don't take the bails when they win the game, would be more symbolic of the Ashes at least.

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

38 ball 100 in BBL, pretty pretty good.

 

[bobnowhere]

38 ball 100 in BBL, pretty pretty good.

Sent the 6 to bring up the ton into the second deck as well. Scorchers in danger of not finishing the innings off though.


Watto's going to miss 3 of the 4 remaining ODIs, needs a rest, and Christian coming in.

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Tait still crazy quick but was sloppy early on.

Best memory of him is getting Tendulkar out.......... by making him shit himself so much he jumped onto his stumps.

 

[Jezbollah]

Tait played for my team Essex last year. Every time he bowled I wondered if his arm would fly off somewhere...

Also, I'd love to see Graham Napier out there for BBL. His 152no from 58 vs Sussex in '08... Hnnnnnng

Joe Root is having a dreadful time this summer.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Does joe root have the record for most consecutive failed referrals?

 

[bobnowhere]

At some point England are just going to have ban Joe Root from using the DRS system.

 

[chicko1983]

Does joe root have the record for most consecutive failed referrals?

would have to be up the top of the list, followed by Watson.

I dont know what he was thinking then, that it was going over the top of the wickets? It hit him on the back pad and given that the on field umpire gave it out, he couldnt have been confident with that referral.

He is getting really desperate for runs, that is his main problem. Funny how that was was Watson's problem with it as well - when you are struggling for runs you never think you are out LBW!

 

[reptilescorpio]

Clarkey having a roll of the arm!

 

[bobnowhere]

Wow, Clarkey bowling, back must be feeling good. Will tear through the overs now.

 

[reptilescorpio]

Both Haddin and the batsman lost their ballance on that one!

 

[bomma_man]

Clever stuff from Morgan there

 

[A More Normal Bird]

Morgan? More like, "More lives than a cat."

 

[kmag]

McKay is bowling dross.

 

[bobnowhere]

McKay is bowling dross.

Looks like he's struggling physically. Incidentally they keep playing a Com Bank ad at the breaks with a certain P Siddle in it wearing a ODI outfit. It looks like already owns one, how about letting him wear it in anger.

 

[kmag]

why on earth is Clarke bowling McKay out? He's got overs in the tank and McKay is bowling so innocuously he may as well walk down and hand it to the batter. 11 nurdled runs off that over with England having to play 1 shot. Terrible.

Australia letting this get away from them. They had a decent bit of control but the last couple of overs have been terrible. I know the fielding restrictions help in the last 10 but the lines are all off.
