For the Aussies to win 4-3 they will need the divine help of some partisan groundsmen in making 'special' batting and bowling conditions but that probably won't be that effective seeing as we are the stronger batting and bowling side.

Our one day team is still superior man for man but only marginally....and I'm including the mackem who shouldn't be playing in that assessment.

I'll go for the reversal of your 4-3 Aussie win prediction but much will depend on whether your 2009 International Cricketer Of The Year turns up with or without the YIPS :DL

6-1 England.

Yeah, I'm being optimistic...

:haha: You're probably right.:cry::cry:

Yup:D

Certainly game on in the first match. Good chase set by the poms. But the Aussies looking good in their inning ls with Watson showing great form.

Looking very close, with some excellent batting from Watson.

And that's one nil Australia. Record successful run chase and Watson 161 from 151 balls!!!

Still 6 to go, so don't get ahead of yourselves:O:

:har:

Yep, Watson made all the difference....this series should be a close run thing.

Congratulations on first blood Australia.

We won the Ashes and stuff the rest!

England you better not adopt that attitude, get out there and win or I will kick your ass in to next week.

The way we played, it looks like we got that attitude. We better not carry it on when were at the Cricket world cup:nope:

Indeed, the world cup is the big one.

Excuse the interruption gents (and yes that includes you STEED :DL).....Any game against the Aussies IS A BIG ONE.

Speaking of the World Cup, Australia's squad named:

Ricky Ponting (captain), Michael Clarke (vice-captain), Doug Bollinger, Brad Haddin, John Hastings, Nathan Hauritz, David Hussey, Michael Hussey, Mitchell Johnson, Brett Lee, Tim Paine, Steve Smith, Shaun Tait, Shane Watson, Cameron White.

What a joke! :down:
STILL no Brad Hodge! Steve Smith, is he the love child of A Hilditch? He can't bat and bowl.
Ponting and Clarke STILL there, no lessons learnt yet, selectors?
Mitchell Johnson, inconsistent.
Shaun Tait is nowhere near as fast as he used to be, before his elbow surgery. Another has-been.
Brett Lee? What?
The only good news out of that squad is Nathan Hauritz who was duped by the selctors for no reason, he deserves more., and Brad Haddin.
Australia, you will be roasted!
Good luck, you'll need it.

Australia take a 2-0 lead after the second ODI....England need a little more effort from one or two of the so called 'superstars' such as Pietersen.

No excuses this time, we were useless:nope:

I think with the 2-0 lead we can afford a very small amount of smugness.:smug:

Mind you I thought our 230 was a crap innings with only Marsh and White showing any fight with the bat. Good bowling and fielding by both sides though.

The biggest issue for us will be the mounting injury toll. Hussey, Tait and Hauritz could spell real problems for the World Cup.

And next to beat the pants off England is the Australian all lesbian we hate cricket and rather be having it off womens cricket team.












Yes I was been sarcastic. ;) :rotfl2:

Lost by 4 wickets, and now 3-0 down with 4 to play:damn:
