Eng v Aus ODI Cricket Series 2011

[Idaho]

We used to lose the tests and then win the one dayers. As much as I prefer it this way, I am still annoyed that we are playing so poorly. Once again its the batting that's been the problem. Although I am far from convinced about Yardy. And Wright has been toss as usual with bat or ball. We don't seem to have the same patient authority we showed in the tests.

Indeed. A totally different game, one which englands never been much good at. I can't see a future for the 50 over game anyway, this could be the last world cup methinks.

We weren't that bad at it last year, as i'm sure the aussies remember.

Well it isn't as if he set the park ablaze when he was in the side.

I know it's not a good start 3-0 down but is anybody else watching

 

[Idaho]

Just listening now. Sounds like England got to a reasonable total despite another middle order collapse. As ever with England, if they fail it's almost always the batting that that causes it. Our bowlers seem to be strangling them well. Another wicket and it should be in the bag.

That Peter Roebuck is a dick.

 

[Santino]

I think this one's safe now.

 

[Santino]

England's latest all-rounder - Jonathan Trott. 102 runs and 2-31 at 4.42.

Yet somehow watching him is like watching paint dry. has there ever been a duller cricketer?

Why are they playing Gary Glitter tunes there?

Because they support paedophilia.

He is pretty dull. I think the fact that he can bowl his rubbish and be successful shows what a load of rubbish the 50 over game is.

 

[twentythreedom]

fuck, totally zoned out on the sofa, bloody hell i've missed 4 wickets!

 

[twentythreedom]

goooooooo-nerrrrrs

 

[shagnasty]

Seems to have settlled down a bit now with those quick wickets

 

[Idaho]

Another game best confined to a radio highlights show...

 

[liquidlunch]

bump

what's this??????very quiet around here,no raving on about how good you are
Its only one dayers so it pales in comparision to test cricket,however the world cup is just around the corner

 

[twentythreedom]

the whole series just pissed me off. now we've got a load of injured and knackered players, in time for the world cup. wtf?

 

[Idaho]

I was a dismal series in a number of respects. Too long, too dull, too badly played by England, too many injuries.

and now he's dead

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Questioned by police earlier in the day, found dead in hotel room.

I know his history was chequered, to say the least, but I liked his writing.
