England -v- Australia ODI Series

[Tintinnabulate]

Starts 4 September 2009 at 13:00.

There will be a total of 7 ODI's, ending 20 September 2009.

Australia should win this with ease hopefully. They did great in the 1.1 overs they bowled in the first T20.

Thread closed by invincible (Forum Super Moderator) as the series is over and the thread is turning to spam which will inevitably lead to arguements.

[Andeeh]

lovely wicket by sidebottom just then. they need 250 to set a good score. i reckon england will do it strauss will be the bat through to the end man :)

[StefanWolves]

england are crap!!!!1

oh wait, what's the score?

[Tintinnabulate]

england are crap!!!!1

oh wait, what's the score?


22/1 :)

And you need 261. Glad you agree England are crap :)


:8

[Geraint]

22/1!? **** me, how slow's the run rate, thought they reached 260 by half 4.

[Tintinnabulate]

england are crap!!!!1

oh wait, what's the score?

Now I am confident that you couldn't be more right. 85/2 in 20.4 overs.

[Tintinnabulate]

125/3 LOL.

[Tintinnabulate]

168/5

Crappy England!


----


178/6
LOOOL.

"You are not singing anymore"

[Tintinnabulate]

Lee to Wright, 1 no ball, OUT

Thats called skilled bowling (H)

[Immenseman]

good finish my england. who gives one though we got the ashes lalalalalalal

[Tintinnabulate]

HAHAH England lost as expected.

[Immenseman]

very very good fight back by england. to think they did that without arguably their best batter in ODI it pretty amazing. it looked like they were going to get done but hit back and only lost by 4 runs. a loss is a loss but still, nice to see they have the spirit. who cares though?! we have the ashes :eusa_danc

[Tintinnabulate]

Ashes is old news. Win the world cup and then boast :)

[Immenseman]

It's not really old news. Maybe you're a bit sour about it, we aren't ;) good match today though, they're good entertainment value. wd to the aussies, deserved win :)

[Tintinnabulate]

England did very well at the end. Didnt think they would get that close. Again, Aussies failing to finish off Englands tail.

[Blinger1]

we have the ashes :eusa_danc
The second time you have held it in 20 years..

And congratulations to Australia.. i notice none of the usual posters who say england are top **** are posting.. :rolleyes:

[Tintinnabulate]

Haha thats true too!
England needs a new batting order, as the current ones are worse than the bowlers at batting.

[Andeeh]

England played well dont get up on your high horse there are 6 games to go and first of all that was clearly and no ball that went to rashid it was above waist height no two ways about it.

i cant wait till tomorrow for another enthrualing tie.

One ball doesn't change the game. Australia got many wrong decisions in the tests, don't see them moaning.

[Andeeh]

One ball doesn't change the game. Australia got many wrong decisions in the tests, don't see them moaning.
it could have changed the game. its me moaning not the english cricket team first of all well im not even moaning more bemused, and i certainly saw australian fans complaining about the ashes so yea...

anyway i dont see why you care so much as your country isnt even involved.

[Tintinnabulate]

Just because my country isn't involved, doesnt mean I cant take part in this discussion :)
Australia will have to work hard tomorrow, especially with the tail enders as they have nearly cost Australia the match many times.

[StefanWolves]

The second time you have held it in 20 years..

We have won two of the past three. :$

[Immenseman]

people say they don't care that the aussies lost the ashes then get really worked up o.O

[Hecktix]

Can I just remind everybody that the main point of the ashes is a friendly competition between the two teams??

[Tintinnabulate]

Cross the word "friendly" out and you are correct.
If someone thinks the Ashes is just a friendly competition then they are really really naive.

[Hecktix]

Cross the word "friendly" out and you are correct.
If someone thinks the Ashes is just a friendly competition then they are really really naive.

At the end of the day any sport was originated as friendly competition and in all fairness it still is - yes rivalry gets involved a lot but god I don't even think the cricket players themselves would argue as much as you.

Like Ricky Ponting said.. we'll see what happens in 2011 :S Surely that's end of story?

You just continue and continue - it's stupid. Cricket is a civilised sport at the end of the day the ashes has always been a brilliant friendly competition between two of the best cricket teams in the world and don't even bother going on "didnt do well in the world cup did you" because that's irrelevant in this discussion.

I don't appreciate being called naive, thanks.

[Blinger1]

has always been a brilliant friendly competition between two of the best cricket teams in the world
I'm sorry but seriously, that is so untrue.

[Tintinnabulate]

I don't appreciate being called naive, thanks.

Anyone who believes that Cricket, especially Ashes is friendly is naive. You guys just continue bragging about winning the Ashes (not surprising considering you rarely win) thanks to the rain - must mean its friendly ... :rolleyes:

Anyway, people should stop going on and on about winning just one series - "it's stupid".

And you -rep me for saying people who consider Ashes as friendly are naive? wow :rolleyes:

[Tintinnabulate]

Broad should be fit for Wednesday, incidentally. A minor neck strain. Australia are unchanged from the first ODI.

England won the toss and are bowling.

Tim Bresnan comes in for the injured Stuart Broad, while Eoin Morgan takes Adil Rashid's place, which is a shame for him, but one spinner is probably enough on this surface.

I wouldn't have dropped Rashid. Glad Broad isn't playing. There is only one person in the team who I don't like now, Prior, so I am not that bothered who wins, but I would prefer an Australian win.

[StefanWolves]

209-8.

playing well.

[Immenseman]

nicely done by england, good bowling. hopefully will win this one.

[Tintinnabulate]

Good bowling indeed, 250 shouldnt be too hard to get.

[StefanWolves]

England will make it hard for themselves, they always do.

Looking for Bopara to get some sort of a score, he needs it.

[Andeeh]

impressed with Luke wrights bowling, i knew it would be shown some part in this series just need to keep a steady innings. hopefully prior can get some runs under his belt

[Tintinnabulate]

4 overs, 3 wickets. :)

[StefanWolves]

shah is absolutely pathetic, lmao.

[icon12]

Whats the score now.

[StefanWolves]

123-4 25 overs left.

[Immenseman]

england will always find a way to make it difficult.

[StefanWolves]

we've nearly lost, 170-7.

[Immenseman]

mhm, gna be bowled out by the looks.

[Tintinnabulate]

Why the hell did they drop Rashid :S

England top order keeps failing them. Bowlers do a decent job, but the batsment let them down.

[Immenseman]

I do rate Bopara but not in ODI, he has scored steadily but so god damn slowly.

[Tintinnabulate]

You need a brand new top order.

[Geraint]

7 an over is perfectly possible.

[Immenseman]

yeah, it's not over yet but it'll be close.

[Tintinnabulate]

Here's Ryan Sidebottom, who couldn't quite win it on Friday. What can he do this time?

Answer: Get out for zero

[Blinger1]

8/204.. They need to make 46 runs in 6 overs..

[Immenseman]

lmao, disaster.

[Tintinnabulate]

Whats the point in taking the powerplay when you lose wickets? :\ Should have taken it at the 6th wicket.

[Immenseman]

i don't think they really thought this would happen

[Tintinnabulate]

England lost AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D

[Immenseman]

i always thought who ever lost the ashes would want to win the ODIs more because at the end of the day both teams wanted the ashes. another good win by the aussies though, england really need to think about their batting!

[Tintinnabulate]

They shouldn't have dropped Rashid, and they need new and better batsmen. Their current batsmen keep failing to perform which is a shame as the bowlers do a fantastic job. Also they reply way too much on Flintoff and KP to score runs, so thats a bad thing, as when those two aren't playing, the get new batsmen in, who are unable to perform. So they should slowly try and get better batsmen in and try and make them better.

[StefanWolves]

Flintoff never scores runs? he goes out and gets 20 off 10 balls, which isn't really match winning.

It's simple, both teams are struggling with their batting, more so England.

[-Heart]

We're gonna win 5-2, we're gonna win 5-2..

Anybody?

[StefanWolves]

We're gonna win 5-2, we're gonna win 5-2..

Anybody?

There is more chance of flying a kite on the moon.

[Andeeh]

haha its an absolute joke onions has been called in to the squad. thats not what we need we need batters that are prepared to stand up and be counted. why hasnt joyce even got a looking? top scorer in Friends provident anad so far in pro 40 i find it terrible choice by selecters.

if only dwayne smith was english

my god i love him he is on fire on a hat trick (4 wickets so far) shame im not down there tonight :'(

england need to improve to have a chance of winning the ODI series quite significantly in batting put rashid back in

HE GOT HATRICK YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[Tintinnabulate]

England bowlers are average, batsmen need replacing.

[Andeeh]

England bowlers are average, batsmen need replacing.
i highly disagree with 'average', jimmy anderson is world class, stuart broad is developing and will come in his own soon. Flintoff, need i say more?

I hope england give joyce a chance for one of the ODI he needs to be looked at

Also cracking win for sharks

No they really are average. In comparison to SL and SA bowlers, they are below average by their standards.

[StefanWolves]

No they really are average. In comparison to SL and SA bowlers, they are below average by their standards.

who isn't?

[Tintinnabulate]

who isn't?

most other countries bowlers :)

[Andeeh]

They are all world class bowlers including the ones i have mentioned. For a 23 year old to stand up and be counted in the final test match takes a lot of skill.

[Tintinnabulate]

23 is young but there are younger players now who are more skilled.

name a 23 year old that successfully bowled out australia in the last decisive test of a series?

[Tintinnabulate]

name a 23 year old that successfully bowled out australia in the last decisive test of a series?

Like I have said many times, Australia arent the worlds best anymore. South Africa, India and Sri Lanka are.

[StefanWolves]

India? just no - Sri Lanka, nearly, South Africa, yes.

[Tintinnabulate]

India? just no - Sri Lanka, nearly, South Africa, yes.

Sure :) Hence Indias ranked 2nd i think or 3rd and have won their last 5 series. White wasted England, beat australia, beat sri lanka, beat pakistan, beat west indies in series ...

Yeah India suck.

[StefanWolves]

Yes, they do, biggest cricketing nation in the world, but they aren't even the best, funny.

[Tintinnabulate]

They are one of the best :)
Without India, cricket would be poor.

[StefanWolves]

Without we wouldn't have the 'Indian Premier League' which is good.

[Tintinnabulate]

Without we wouldn't have the 'Indian Premier League' which is good.

And whats wrong with the IPL? Apart from the fact that its paying idiots like Flintoff millions of pounds. Its the same as the football leagues here ...
Only difference is that its in India so they are able to enjoy it much more.

[StefanWolves]

So, the two richer countries.. i.e. Australia and England, don't contribute at all? eh? pays for Flintoff, maybe, for 6 weeks, heard of central contracts? yeh.

[Tintinnabulate]

I didnt say they (their home country) dont pay the players. Thats obvious :S
I said they IPL shouldnt be paying millions to them. Please read what I write properly before jumping to conclusions, which then lead to arguments.

[Andeeh]

Sussex are off to India to play in the CL and try and win 7 million dollars :)

England are batting poor, its like watching a broken record.

[Immenseman]

i hate this whole consistent selection policy. make the changes and bring good batters in. prior and bopara have been awful in these ODI

[Andeeh]

i hate this whole consistent selection policy. make the changes and bring good batters in. prior and bopara have been awful in these ODI
As i have mentioned i would want ed joyce to come in for bopara. again he has scored another century today in CC game

[Immenseman]

i dont even know why shah is there either

[Andeeh]

wow out goes swann lbw. why wasnt rashid selected.

[Immenseman]

when strauss was asked he said "for balance" :rolleyes:

[Tintinnabulate]

when strauss was asked he said "for balance" :rolleyes:

He doesn't seem to get it in his head that its not balanced. And even if it was, it's not working. He guy does amazingly well in the match he played, so they should reselect him to motivate him further, instead they drop him and forget him. So if they select him for the next match - which they probably will - his motivation will be lower, hence affecting his performance.

[Blinger1]

Sure :) Hence Indias ranked 2nd i think or 3rd and have won their last 5 series. White wasted England, beat australia, beat sri lanka, beat pakistan, beat west indies in series ...

Yeah India suck.
They so do suck, i mean common! Its INDIA that sucks, not ENGLAND!!!! :O:O:O how dumb are you, seriously!?




we are the championssssssss (8)

So fitting ;)




And, Australia won. Whats that i hear? 3-0??

[Tintinnabulate]

Hahaha. I think the rain got fed up of helping England. Lets hope for a 7-0 win.

[StefanWolves]

who cares about odis these days, tests and t20s are the way forward.

[Tintinnabulate]

Lol I like how they dont care when they are losing.

T20 doesnt their half their skills, it was created to attract more people to cricket ...

[StefanWolves]

which it has, and it will soon (give it 10+ years) be the only form of cricket, it'll go world wide, and it will get the interest of people in nations where cricket has never been heard of.

[Tintinnabulate]

Shows you don't really know anything.

Test match will always be played, whatever happens, ICC wont ever consider removing it as it was the very first form of Cricket. They even issued an official statement stating that it will never be removed.
ODI has been debated once or twice, and that was only to change a few things to make it more 'fun' for the audience, and that is why the Powerplay's were introduced, along with the appeals.

Hang on. First up i have always stated that i am much more passionate about test cricket and the longer format of the game compared to ODI and T/20. Secondly i agree that T/20 doesnt require a huge amount of skill

[StefanWolves]

He's just out for an argument, as always, just ignore him, don't drop to his level.

Edited by Robbie! (Forum Super Moderator): Please do not make comments that could cause arguments

[Tintinnabulate]

I didn't want to create a new thread for this, but India just trashed New Zealand :)
If we win our next two games, we will be ranked number 1 for ODI's :)

[Smiddy]

Nice to see they've rested Colly for the rest of the series, did you know he was the only player to play in every England match over the last year..? Something like 13 tests, 16 ODI's and 8 T20's I think! (Also due to play in the Champions League with Delhi Daredevils after the Champions Trophy! What a rubbish schedule!)
Also rested Anderson, gives either Bresnan or Onions a chance to show their ODI worth.

My squad for the next match would be...:
Prior
Denly
Strauss
Trott (but would have to be Shah since they haven't included Trott :@)
Bopara
Wright
Rashid
Broad
Swann
Sidebottom
Onions

But, that's just me. Who will drop for Ponting, btw?

[StefanWolves]

Shah is utter crap, my nan could run better than him between wickets. :/

Well unfortunately, England's chances of winning is lower now for this series as Collingwood is one of the best batsmen on the team. However, its a good decision to rest him now as he will be needed for the Championship Trophy.

[Blinger1]

*cough* (http://wwos.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=862364)

Aww, i notice this thread is going down hill since England are losing..
Comfortable win for Australia, again. Lee with five wickets was pretty good :D

[Tintinnabulate]

Like I said, they don't care about ODI's when they are losing. When they lose in Test's next, they will call that useless too. And then T20 ...

[StefanWolves]

Shows that they only boast and show off only when England wins. And they just ignore it when they lose.

[Blinger1]

Ksoz is the only one who speaks sense here... Five wickets to Lee, second time in two series.. Not bad :)

[StefanWolves]

*REMOVED*

Edited by Hecktix (Forum Moderator): Please do not post to cause arguements

[Tintinnabulate]

Strauss has been doing pretty well with the bat, but England need a few more batsmen to support him when he is out there. Collingwood is someone who can do that but they need just two more better batsmen.

[Andeeh]

which would of been flintoff and pietersen. i think people forget we are two world class players down.

[Immenseman]

they should just forget their policy of picking the same players for consistency. at the end of the day i think they're in a post-ashes mentality. they wanted to win that so bad to show they are better, which they did, now they don't really care. shame but there you go.

[Tintinnabulate]

which would of been flintoff and pietersen. i think people forget we are two world class players down.

Flintoff is mainly a bowler, isnt really a batter. But if your team cant win when two players are out then you are in trouble ... like now.

[StefanWolves]

would like to see how india perform without dhoni and yuvraj... :rolleyes:

[Tintinnabulate]

would like to see how india perform without dhoni and yuvraj... :rolleyes:

Actually, Sehwag, Gambhir and Zaheer Khan are our best players.
We won without them against NZ? We wont without Sehwag in a series against WI?
Englands problem is that not all players perform. Only 2-3 do. India's, atleast 60% do, same for Australia, and like 90% for SA, hence they win.

And btw we have won many matches without Yuvraj. Yuvraj is an allrounder and unfortunately he doesnt always perform with the bat.

[Andeeh]

Flintoff is mainly a bowler, isnt really a batter. But if your team cant win when two players are out then you are in trouble ... like now.

We can win without pieteresen we pretty much did in the ashes im just saying its hindering us.

I just dont understand why havent they called Ed Joyce? he has been great on south coast and its infuriating when people like shah and bopara are in and struggle to make 10

[Tintinnabulate]

The selectors have been making all the wrong decisions.

[Andeeh]

Yea thats true. also Luke Wright a doubt for tomorrows game

[Immenseman]

i think wright is a decent batter and bowler. he hasn't been great in these ODI but always good for more of a 'cameo' appearance, good scorer.

[StefanWolves]

luke wright is out, foot/ankle injury i think.

[Tintinnabulate]

Don't care who wins now. Australia have won the series :)

England win now, Australia won't climb to number 1 ODI spot.
Australia carry on winning, England loses :)


But still, looking at their performance in this series, you get the impression that they (England) just don't respect the one-day game enough. If you don't respect it, it won't respect you. Age-old stuff, I know. England better get their act together in the next game or they'll head to the Champions Trophy as push-overs.

^^ I fully agree. I like how I say something and the sports channels say the same things a few days later.
i.e. England not respecting ODI's. Flintoff is selfish and only cares about money and not England.

[Tintinnabulate]

A good score of 299 by England. Australia will need to ensure they dont lose early wickets or the pressure will be on them.

[StefanWolves]

Flintoff has turned down the England contract, but says he remains fully committed to playing T20s and ODIs for England, I never realised, but by turning down the contract, he doesn't get a wage off them, he doesn't get their health specialities paid for, he doesn't get a car that they supply, so he's turned down quite a lot. But he'll go off and make just as much money, playing in leagues all around the world.

Fair play to our Freddy! :)

And you didn't believe me ... :rolleyes: and said he had signed the contract when 10 newspapers said he didnt.

If Flintoff really only cared for England, he would have signed the contract. He only cares about money.

you can't blame him for wanting to earn more money, many other cricketers are going to be doing the same soon.

[adaym]

Nice one Rashid.

[Tintinnabulate]

you can't blame him for wanting to earn more money, many other cricketers are going to be doing the same soon.

I highly doubt it. Most cricketers have priority for their country. They are team players, Flintoff never was and never will be.

nice wasn't it? :P

Good old fashioned English name that, Adil Rashid.

Im not being funny but why are you trying to make on of our 2005 ashes heros bad? as i said earlier he can do what he likes. who could blame him going for a bit more money, it will be his last chance soon as he is nearing early retirement. I still reckon he is commited to England and would have given his right arm to play in that final test.

[Tintinnabulate]

I am not? Just saying he is selfish and "the world's first freelance cricketer in a bid to maximize his considerable earning potential in the final years of his career."

Proof of selfishness right there :). Most, if not all, cricketers would do anything to play for their country, like Harmison.

Anyway Australia win again.

course he had an option, he didn't have to sign the contract, like he has done now.

Oh gosh, you don't get it.

Meaning you cant remember long :S as you recently beat WI at home and away.

[Tintinnabulate]

England on the verge of being embarassed.

[Immenseman]

If they'd have lost the Ashes too, they'd probably care. Glad they didn't. I'd take a 7-0 whitewash, providing we won the Ashes.

[Tintinnabulate]

But their spirit goes down after a 7-0 trashing.

[Tintinnabulate]

And England lose again.
6-0 ... Great for a team wanting to be the best in the world.

[StefanWolves]

And England lose again.
6-0 ... Great for a team wanting to be the best in the world.

Ah well, they won the Ashes.

WAHEY!

[Blinger1]

The most important factor is that england lost... AGAIN!!
i think i shall quote myself.

Oh yeah, thanks England for letting us reclaim no.1 ranking place in ODI

[Tintinnabulate]

wrong format of the game.

Strauss said "England can be the best team in the world" ... he meant overall best.

I like how this thread is slowly dieing now that England are being trasheddd. They are crap. Their players - apart from a few - are all crap. Their selectors are brain dead.

The person I feel sorry for atm is Strauss. Poor guy as he does really well but everyone else around him is crap. If they were in a different country, those players wouldnt even have made it to International level.

[Immenseman]

some of those players helped win the ashes.

tbh this is a completely different thread to the ashes thread, which died, coincidently, when the ashes finished. :rolleyes:

Im still here mate, as i have said earlier i am more passionate about the test level. This whole england ODI team should be ashamed of themselves, strauss is the only one to have peformed and he has run out of things to say we cant deliever.

I am seething that they never even tried Ed Joyce in the series and now he cant take part in this or the Champions Trophy.

Our selection was good in the ashes but shameful in the ODI process.

I have to agree with you completely :) Thats the point I was trying to get across.

[Tintinnabulate]

Btww, after trying something (nothing related to anything on here at all), I am predicting England will win on Sunday.

[Immenseman]

hope they do just to annoy the aussies they didn't get the whitewash against such a poor ODI side

[Immenseman]

england on fire in the last ODI :lol:

[Tintinnabulate]

Looks like I am better at predicting things in comparison to Derren Brown.

[Immenseman]

i expected better from the aussies after losing the ashes you thought they'd really want to enforce a whitewash. strass just gone out for 47 though :lol:

[Andeeh]

It has been a shameful ODI series if your an England fan, i feel sorry for all the supporters that went to watch from games 3 - 6 as to be honest we didnt peform.

It was nice to see Swann get a 5WI though

Also are batting is still failing and we only need 170 odd

[Tintinnabulate]

6-1 isnt bad. Just what I had predicted :)

The word 'whitewash' never crossed our minds. cant find the article though.

[Tintinnabulate]

Many English fans are happy that the Aussies couldnt win 7-0.
Shouldn't they actually be very very ashamed of losing 6-1 :S :S

[Blinger1]

Yep, although lets be honest.. It would suck if they lost in a whitewash two series in a row! (okay, they are different formats but still)

[Immenseman]

when we look back next year we won't think damn we lost those ODI we'll think yay we won the ashes ;)
