Is Prior retarded?

Mmmm. Aus wins the OD series 6-1.

Today's game had a terrific English catch on the boundary.
See it if you can.

It seems to me the English bowling had it all over the Aussies in the
test series. But not in the 5050. I thought England did not adapt quickly
enough in the two 2020 games in between, and confidence kept going down.
But as I say, I am not an expert.

Didn't see the game today. Not really taken much notice. They played far too many. Probably preparation for the World Cup. England's problem in one-dayers has always been the batting. They don't know how to approach situations. 20/20 is all out slogging. You know what you have to do in those.

I've never really understood the need to make so many changes to one day games. The batting especially isn't that different from Test Cricket. You just need to bat a bit quicker.

The World Cup starts next week.

Umar Gul has some tips.

India v England - match tied. That was insane. What a match. Some fools are saying 50 over Cricket should be scrapped.

[Patrick Bateman]

Yeah that was a great match. Collingwood's still crap though.

[Undertaker]

Collingwood only plays because he's such a good fielder. He should really bat at 7 or 8.

[Patrick Bateman]

I wonder if Firth had a word.

So far, so good Australia.
I read they played well against India in a warm up ?

[Undertaker]

That was mental. Apparently, Ireland and the other associate nations might not be welcome at the next World Cup.

If that's the case, then it will be a travesty. The major nations obviously don't like it up 'em!

Well done, Ireland.

lol@England. Broad is such a tosser. Everytime he bowls a crap ball, he blames the fielder for failing to stop it from going for four.

I can't stand Stuart Broad. The spoilt little posh bastard that deserves a good slap. His dad was the same.

This will get analysed to death but there isn't much you can do. If someone makes proper contact with every ball, he will score big. Next game, O'Brien will probably get a duck. Thats the nature of one dayers. One of the best innings you will ever see.

[Patrick Bateman]

The innings of a lifetime.
