T20 australia v england 12/1/11 (adelaide oval)

[stampy]

We are only 2 down and padding them back down the pitch. Stop looking after your averages and have a go ya mugs, there is only 6 overs left

didnt think pup was playing

[LMA]

I reckon that's what John McEnroe is thinking too

[Jim05]

Wtf are we doing. Tim paine is a 5x better player than hussey,finch or smith and he is batting at 6 what a joke.

[gadj1976]

Wow, England bowling to a plan, we on the other hand look clueless. Situation normal.

was just thinking the same thing. didn't he make a pretty decent score in the first big bash game?

game will be won or lost with Tait's first 2 overs

The obsession with cross-bat slog shots is part of that...

Good Batting by Watto

Aus 1/84 off 9 overs

One of the most inept 20/20 batting exhibitions in a long long time
It appeared on face value that a few guys were playing for themselves and thier spot in the team

WATSON 59[31] the most relaible batsman in the country in all forms of cricket
WARNER 30[28] who is f...g with this guys head, he looks too scared to play shots this season, yes I know hes raking up runs, but the way he is batting you may as well play Shaun Marsh
HUSSEY 28[27] ordinary, this was set up for him to cash in, but appeared to be playing for himself
WHITE 6 [9] bad effort
FINCH 15 *[14] is an opening batsman, if hes gunna bat this low , there are several better players than him
SMITH 15*[11] tried hard but WARNER/HUSSEY/WHITE left him with way too much to do

PAINE is a star opener when the field is up, not a late order hitter
IF hes gunna bat this low you may as well play HADDIN ....

AU 4/157
73 OFF THE LAST 66 BALLS = PATHETIC
Take way WATTOS effort = 98 off about 15 overs

Time in the middle for Hussey and Smith who are part of the one-day squad. The was an air of preservation about some of those individual innings.

Lets get this into perspective
1/84 [54]
That leaves 66 balls with 9 wickets in hand
You should expect no one to push for singles
There must be 66 slogs as a mindest
Surely teams can back themselves in from here to slog

PATHETIC

[RoosterMarty]

O'Keefe drops Bell first ball and robs Tait of a wicket.

[dedja]

need to put a bell in the ball ...

[RoosterMarty]

I hope you are enjoying this O'Keefe, that was a sitter too and now Bell has smashed 3 boundaries.

[carey]

aus 20-30 short i would've thought

[Q.]

Game over

[Phantom Gossiper]

O'Keefe drops Bell first ball and robs Tait of a wicket.

[Jim05]

Lee gets a wicket
1/16

Yes poor effort. Im not jumping off his bandwagon though

[Phantom Gossiper]

Now Warner drops Bell FFS!!!

[RoosterMarty]

That was a bit tougher but Tait has now had two catches dropped off him at his own bloody ground!
