2nd ODI: England v Australia

[TassieEagle]

About to get underway. England won the toss and elected to bowl.

England 1 Michael Carberry, 2 Kevin Pietersen, 3 Jonathan Trott, 4 Joe Root, 5 Eoin Morgan (capt), 6 Ravi Bopara, 7 Jos Buttler (wk), 8 Ben Stokes, 9 James Tredwell, 10 Boyd Rankin, 11 Steven Finn
Australia 1 Aaron Finch, 2 Shaun Marsh, 3 Shane Watson, 4 Michael Clarke (capt), 5 George Bailey, 6 Adam Voges, 7 Matthew Wade, 8 James Faulkner, 9 Mitchell Johnson, 10 Clint McKay, 11 Fawad Ahmed

England with over half their team actually born in England, well done

 

[TassieEagle]

SMarsh gone for a duck, 1-0

 

[Kayaz]

not out

 

[Mateyman]

Are the commentators serious? Clearly not bat on pad, with the location of the hotspot and the follow through of the bat

 

[Doodlesweaver]

Oh Shaun...

 

[TassieEagle]

Watto in another LBW review. Inside edge surely... where is everyone.

 

[rickyp]

Correct decision made. Pretty obvious I would've thought.

 

[Mateyman]

Obviously not out on review. Kettleborough, you have NFI - clearly he thinks it was an inside edge if he said there was an inside edge.

Exactly! I couldn't tell it was an inside edge, but the hotspot couldn't have been from the pad.

 

[Mateyman]

Lol, there was even a small deviation. Not sure if commentators are srs?

 

[Doodlesweaver]

Pretty funny that Watson has already had an LBW call.

 

[Mateyman]

This is the English and Irish Lions cricket team

 

[TassieEagle]

Deviation was noticeable, hotspot was there and still Kettlechips was arguing, freaking Poms.

 

[smoovy]

Taking the deviation out of it. If you look at the position of the hot spot on the bat it does not correlate to the position he could have hit the pad, which could've only been right on the toe of the bat.

 

[Furn2]

No edge, snicko proved it, another Dar error.

Don't forget the Saffas. We might as well just rename them "The United Nations of Cricket XI".

Australia v Angelina Jolies children.

 

[Showbags]

This pitch looks really two paced and slow. Not coming onto the bat whatsoever when the ball is pitched up. Our bowlers better be watching this and taking notes.

The barbarians.

 

[TassieEagle]

10 overs of this Kiwi could be fun. Bowling pies right now.

Yeah first look at Stokes and I would have to say I wasn't all that impressed.

 

[Showbags]

Looks like Morgan agreed with me. Only 1 over for Stokes. Uncle Fester on to bowl.

 

[Ron]

Shame Watto didn't start this nice batting streak about one month earlier. He has been hitting them very nicely recently.

 

[Ron]

Scratch that.....you suck Watto

 

[Showbags]

Surely they can't overturn this. Nothing on hotspot. There was a noise but that could be anything (a bat handle).
