** 1st ODI AUSTRAILIA V ENGLAND SUNDAY 12-01-14 3.30 AM KO SS2 **

[Everest]

Can we salvage anything from the tour ?
...
Cant see us winning the series but surely we wont be so bad at this lark , Will we ? .

At the half way stage, Aus are over 40 runs ahead of what England had and also lost 3 fewer wickets.

It's gonna be close.

 

[Janbha]

Warners out again ! 163-1

Nice to see us posting a more robust 1st innings total, pity it is about 70 runs short by the look of it.

It's quite comical quite how many things haven't gone our way this innings, haven't done ourselves any favours, but FFS, a little bit of luck or a decent decision wouldn't go amiss!

This is what happens when you are rock bottom, the Gods amuse themselves by playing with us.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

The only thing missing from our fielding is the Benny Hill theme tune.

Great strike by Katie, son of Sussex. Watson is a goner.

Quite! There have been some positives though, the young lad from Barbados has bowled well, Ballance looking good and Buttler is really cementing his place. Then there's Bresnan and Boyd 'wtf is he doing there' Rankin

 

[Beach Hut]

Dismal malaise, just like the 5 day game

 

[fleet]

Not winning is one thing, but not competing is quite another. We are so bad it is a real worry.

 

[maltaseagull]

were loose

Rather than stating the obvious- try to make it more interesting and have a guess at the margin of defeat.

Here we have scored more than almost all the test match innings and they are cantering at the moment 226 for 2 FFS

 

[Janbha]

Another drop off of Jordan , he has bowled very well from what ive seen , shame the rest do not look interested

 

[Beach Hut]

Tonked
