Paine b Swann 53 :dance:

At least I think so, Lord's scoreboard telling everyone it was Marsh.

 

[TrueFan]

Yes it's Paine!

 

[Lady Whistledown]

This Marsh bloke starting to look a bit tidy

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Got'im! G'warn, get off, he's out, that's f***ed 'is average!

Aus 214/5 off 45 overs

Aus 277/7 from their 50 overs. Competitive I think.

 

[pasty]

I don't get this batting lark. Why the hell would anyone want to stand 22 yards away from someone LUZZING a cricket ball at you at 100mph!!!!

I always used to like batting at number 10 or 11.

 

[pasty]

Shit this blokes quick. Although Nasser is right, why on earth was Yardy put in the firing line of that?

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Yardy

What did he say?

And why isn't Pietersen in?

 

[mcshane in the 79th]

Pieterson has a thigh strain so will be batting with a runner down the order. Think this is going to be over pretty quickly
