Twenty20 V Australia

[flashyfox]

Starts tomorrow 8am on sky i think.

Can it get any better?! Vaughan is back as captain but his batting form must be in question. Nixon is also rumoured to be playing, he'll certainly get stuck into the Aussies!!

I leave for work tomorrow at 8am so an earlier start would have been better :icon_roll

Australia squad (nicknames in brackets): R Ponting (capt; PUNTER), A Gilchrist (CHURCH), M Hayden (HAYDOS), M Hussey (HUSS), M Clarke (CLARKEY), A Symonds (ROY), C White (BEAR), B Hogg (GEORGE), N Bracken (ANDY G), M Johnson (NOTCH), B Lee (BINGA), B Hilfenhaus (HILFY).

England squad: M Vaughan (capt), J Anderson, I Bell, P Collingwood, J Dalrymple, A Flintoff, E Joyce, J Lewis, S Mahmood, P Nixon, M Panesar, K Pietersen, L Plunkett, C Read, A Strauss, C Tremlett.

Of that I expect the teams to be
Strauss, Vaughan, Bell, Pietersen, Collingwood, Flintoff, Dalrymple, Nixon+ Anderson, Tremlett, Lewis.

And Hogg the one to miss out for Australia.

Blimey O'Riley, we're not copying the Aussies and nicknaming our players as well are we?

 

[glyn]

P Nixon (CNUT)

 

[Melton Fox]

I didn't even read the names :icon_lol:. TBF I should have just included the test players

Strauss, Vaughan, Bell, Pietersen, Collingwood, Flintoff, Dalrymple, Nixon+ Anderson, Tremlett, Lewis.

No Strauss in the team. Nixon plays though, as does Panesar.

Australia won the toss and will bat

Aus 20-0 after 2 overs

Anderson you muppet! Bowl properly!

Anderson you muppet! Bowl properly!

He does and gets Hayden next ball!

I like to think I had a part in that wicket

 

[flashyfox]

28-1 after 3.2 overs. Anderson just removed Hayden.

 

[CM]

Gilchrist has just hit three sixes in a row

 

[flashyfox]

Followed by 3 singles off the last 3 balls of the over. Sobers record is safe!!

Wicket - Monty

 

[Jeff]

97-2 from just 8.1 overs.

What's the record score in Twenty20?

What's the record score in Twenty20?

Have a little bit of patience Jeff, you'll find out shortly

Nixon stumps Hussey

Some of our fielding has been awful though!

I think the record is 240/250 by Somerset last season. Cameron White (whos playing today) got a huge hundred.

 

[Jeff]

123-3 from 10.1

Hussey Stumped, another wicket for Monty
