Australia vs Kenya-World Cup - Sunday evening 13/3/11

[Jim05]

Yep its a good hitout. David Hussey might come in for white against canada but cant see the selectors changing must.
We will still get 300+ and bowl them out for under 100

Australia would be doing themselves no favours if they went about this any differently if they were playing South Africa or India. Those are the sides we'll probably have to beat so we should get used to playing how we will need to to beat those sides. Messing about with things simply because we're playing a minnow for the sheer fact that we can, or to make it more entertaining, is not what any of the guys over there have in mind. Against anyone else, we'd be fairly happy to be sitting at 4/200 with 14 overs left.

.

Gotta agree with this Graham.
It's certainly the professional approach rather than the let's blow them apart approach that they are taking.
It's worked the previous 12 years.......not sure this is our turn though.

Ponting. Can't dominate against the worst team in the cup. Time gentlemen please.

Have you taken your Swisse Men's Ultivite yet ?

I reckon it's Carrots that he needs. I'm convinced he's not picking up the ball.

About as effortless as a 300+ score can be.

[GWW]

Tait gets a wicket (bowled) after being hit for 6. Wicket from a full toss, I reckon one of the quickest deliveries I've ever seen.

Mitchell Johnsons 1st 2 balls were the worst EVER by an International bowler.
How the hell is he so bad and still get picked.
Why is he allowed to be so bad ??????????? Where is the bowling coach ????????
Does he get picked because his Mrs goes on tour ?

[GWW]

Disappointing to see a run out whilst the 2 Kenyan brothers were batting together.

Johnson is like Tait, seems to be hit or miss, you pick him because when he is on he is amazing! But unfortunately when he is off he is terrible!

[GWW]

Johnson should only bowl in games played at the WACA, anywhere else he's quite average.

[Jim05]

Job done but a little worried about our bowling.
By time we get to the quarters all the pitches will be crumbly turning decks and our our spinners are just crap. Even the kenyans got some decent purchase but not our rubbish bowlers. That will be the differance at the business end of the tournament even the saffers have 3 half decent spinners. To not bowl kenya out and for the bowlers to only take 3 wickets is embarrassing

[Dogwatcher]

I was a tad surprised at the shortness of the Kenyan bowlers' run-ups

Gladstone Small opened the innings against the Aussies in '89 with a ball that missed the pitch down leg side by metres!!

its hard to argue with that
