Aussie Cricket Team Back in Action
Aussie Cricket Team Back in Action
Not often the Aussie Cricket Team has 5 months off but they are back in action in the lead up the the Ashes Series and World Cup.
Playing a warm up tournament for the ICC Champions Trophy in Malaysia of all places I believe
They are taking on the West Indies at the moment.

Taylor 3/59 off 10
Bradshaw 2/37 off 10
Smith 2/40 off 9
Bravo 1/59 off 7

Currently 0/94 off 13
Gayle 27 (27)*
Chanderpaul 57 (56)*
McGrath 0/15 off 4
Johnson 0/24 off 3

Bracken has been absolutely spanked 0/43 off 5 but he's also bowled 2 maidens.

Was the game on Fox? I missed it completely. I hate missing games.
Watson pulled his finger out with 4/43. Still went for over 5 an over but got the wickets which were vital.
The Windies completely lost the plot after Chanderpaul went by the looks. Loving the look of the scorecard, with the exception of the opening pair for WI.
Bracken must have copped a pasting in those 3 overs that weren't maidens... bloody hell. Finished up with 2/45 from 6.3 with those 2 maidens. Incredible.
Hussey must be resting. How Katich continues to get a game is bloody well beyond me. The guy is a no good hack who wouldn't know one day cricket if it bit him on the arse.

Ponting got fined his entire match fee for questioning an upiring decision.
The ump called a wide when the ball clipped the batsman's pads on the way through.
Apparantly Ponting asked the umpire if he heard it clip the batters pads, and then said to the ump if he couldn't hear it he shouldn't be an umpire and told him to go home!![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)

Incredible spell of bowling by Mitchell Johnson last night. If he can learn the art of swing it both ways and getting it to hold its line (on a more consistent basis), he is going to be a very damaging bowler. Good on him as well, has had his critics and bowled well last night.
Needs to learn a slower ball too and natural variation but he will learn that.

Or not. Clarke can bat (sometimes) and is also a good fielder. Lewis can't do either of those. I'm a Victorian and i hope Lewis never gets close to even being considered for an Australian guernsey ever again.

Lewsis is overated IMO. Bowled one decent over at the death to win us a match against NZ but has produced virtually nothing since.
I think Clarke is soley a Test match bowler, but only on subcontinent wickets where his subtle movement will be usefull. He has a great leg-cutter, but im not sure that will benefit him on the WACA and GABBA pitches this year.
