3rd ODI: England v Australia at Southampton, Sep 9, 2009

[Adopted Brightonian]

You know who I hate?

Brett Lee, that's who. Not because he's blatantly a well good bowler but he just chats SO much at the batsman AND he has a stupid haircut.

I spoke to him when Australia played at Northants and now I love him.

OA Shah lbw b Johnson 8 62/3

f***ing hell Strauss gone.

Decent innings, hoped he would go on to bigger things as he seems the only one capable of building a decent innings. :US:

 

[The Wizard]

f*** SAKE COLLINGWOOD, 28 of 52.

Take the power play when the newish ball is taken in the 34'th over.

Wait a minute... have they still not taken the powerplay? FFS!

They need to take it soon or it'll be the Sidebottom/Anderson duo taking it once again.:US:
TAKE THE f***ing POWERPLAY

I want to ruddy slap Strauss in the face. Does he actually know the rules? Does he know that the powerplay is optional, and can be taken when he wants? Or has some joker told him that you're only allowed to take it with 10 and 11 at the crease?

Well done Strauss MISSION ACCOMPLISHED, Lukes gone.

Powerplay thrown down the drain, A-f***ing-GAIN.

 

[sten_super]

Oh for fucks sake. Although I'm slightly going to stand up for him here; the problem has been a COMPLETE lack of a platform from the top and middle order YET AGAIN. If we were 190-2 at this point, I wouldn't have a problem with keeping the powerplay until late.

We seem to have a real problem getting our heads around how to play one day cricket. The mentality is completely and totally wrong.

 

[sam86]

I came here to ask if we've used all our powerplays. I can see quite clearly the answer is no.

EDIT: Oh, but it has been 20 minutes since the last message. Tell me it's been used since?

 

[sten_super]

It's JUST been used, in time for the 42nd over, when we are already 6 down

8 Down now, Sidebottom in for the powerplay. :US::US::US:

 

[The Wizard]

Come on Bresnan, smack these c*nts out of the ground.

Woeful batting performance once again here though.

 

[SirDouglasLoft]

England finished on 228-9

 

[Marc]

we are SOOOO shit at One Day batting, need a vast improvement and we needed it AGES ago!

 

[The Wizard]

White gets one right in the wedding vegetables.
Streaker runs on the pitch.
