I think that's taking away from the good bowling by Bracken, Williams, Lee and Watson so far.

England: 6 for 90 after 30 overs.

Collingwood and Irani are their last hope of making a decent total.
 
Australia need 153 to win this game after bowling England out for a very ordinary score of 152. Only Paul Collingwood managed to do anything with the bat for England, all the Australian bowlers bowled well.
 
This team that calls themselves Australia are gonna take this easy. England had to bat in 40 degree heat (although the Aussies did have to field in 40 degree heat too)! It's getting a bit hard to recognise this Australia team. Clarke, Bracken, Williams, Hogg...

u mean 2/5:P thats how u say it in Aus;) 2 wickets for 5 runs

Npw its 2/85 and rather insipid so far...either the pitch is bloody hard to bat on(and i dont see this as the excuse) or Aus are doing what they were so against last year and trying to rig the finals opponent...

31.1 over in.
 
Australia are 6 for 106 after 38 overs, still needing another 47 off the last 12 overs. Clarke and Watson are at the crease with Hogg, Williams and Bracken left to bat if needed.
 
Where is Richie to wrap up events in tonights match?

Clarke hits winning run on debut.

isn't it great to see clarke and WATSON guide australia to victory. Clarke is as an exciting prospect as ricky ponting was at the same age. Watson, well i am a fan as i often state, he bowled well and i feel alot more confident with him at the crease than either symonds or harvey.
 
I hope Andrew Symonds is a good drink carrier,because that's all he'll be doing at the World Cup.
His ODI career is just about over.Michael Clarke's bowling was prefered instead of Symonds,who bowls a lot more often.Brett Lee was prefered as the pinch hitter ahead of Symonds.So Symonds is only in the WC squad because of his fielding ability.
 
I was impressed with the 'young guns' today. Clarke didn't really look like going out and his bowling was handy. Watson bowled superbly and although he looked a bit shaky, he batted well at the end. Bracken and Williams were both impressive with the ball. Symonds' ODI career is just about over though.
 
I know it's a bit early to large, but the picking of Symonds ahead of Michael Clarke for the World Cup squad looks like being a serious misjudgement on the part of the selectors.

Clarke, above all else, seemed to have the composure required to play at the highest level. He looked far more impressive then some of his more highly regarded batting teammates tonight.
 
Silliest thing about Symonds' dismissal was that Stewart stumped him as an afterthought. Symonds played and missed, and Stewart took the ball in his gloves. About a second later (a long time in relative terms), Symonds leered forward momentarily and Stewart stumped him.

Stumped of the third ball, before scoring, as an afterthought. :rolleyes:

I don't know about anyone else, but I thought Symonds was a little unlucky to be given out on that stumping. I've seen a lot of similar decisions made by the third umpire were a batsmen's foot or toe were on the line, which is where Symonds was, and be given not out. It used to be the case the where the stumps were set up in relation to the back line was the guide as to whether on the line was out or not out, but recently it seemed to me that hasn't been the case, any time someone was on the line, the benefit of the doubt was given to the batsman.
I think that's the first time I can remember where a batsman being on the line has been given out. :confused:

On the line is out, and having the third umpire adjudicate on it, the TV footage removed all doubt that he was on the line and no part of his foot behind it.

So on-field umpire's naked eye might have had doubt, the third umpire had the benefit or the footage removing that doubt.

Probably the closest ever run out or stumping decision I've seen slow-moed... would have been 2mm in it... but still out.
 
I'm a Clarke fan and was impressed with the way he and Watson kept level heads to take the win. Bracken bowled supurbly, who I am usually critical of.

Top order batting was worrying, but well done to Marto who chugged along nicely.

Hoping to see a lot more Clarke/Watson partnerships in the future.:)

I realise that Darky, but recently the common practice had been to give the batsman benefit even though as you say, technically it's the right call. Just thought he was little unlucky compared to some other third umpire decisions I've seen.
 
When a batsman snicks the ball into the keeper's gloves and all the players rush in without looking at the umpire it is considered as "impolite". Why then is it okay for all the players to come rushing in and congratulate each other when waiting for a 3rd umpire's decision on stumpings and run outs?
I see players all slapping each other on the back, and when you see the replay the batsman is clearly in. Obviously they didn't know, and yet are convinced the batsman is out.
 
Symonds and Harvey are duds, nothing more than domestic cricketers, i still cannot believe that Ponting wanted Symonds in the side so badly... Clarke, even though he hadnt played a game of international cricket, wouldve been a better option
