6th ODI Sydney

[Billyjof]

England win the toss and will bat.

Seems little interest in this tournament now the Aussies have won. Looks like a small crowd for this.

Strauss going well, under no pressure, picks out Hussey off Smith. :icon_cry:

Great knock Trott 137. Dead on his feet at the end due to the heat in Sydney. Had Prior running for him for the last 10 overs +.

Eng 333-6

Only six scores higher than this successfully chased down says Mr. Gower.

Anyone watching or following this?

Aussies doing a great job of tearing our depleated bowling attack to shreds.

Should be a cracking finish.

 

[Billyjof]

Aussies edge us in the last over. Series now 5-1 to them.

I'm now led to believe - that was the fourth highest successful ODI run chase in history, and Australia's highest ODI total against England

Had we not had KP, Colly and Trott injuried in the field might have been a different story, although Jimmy was a little worryingly expensive, going for 9 an over.
