Great game at SCG . It was great to see. Managed to stay dry thank goodness. At least Watson bowled himself out of the World Cup team! England deserved it they were more hungry than Australia.sunjet said:Number 1 team without Clarke, Symonds + Hogg, Watson easily debatable.
Anyways, I just got home from the game, quite sad. There was even a chance for Watson and Hodge to bring it home. Please never compare Hussey to Bevan.
Props to England though, Dalrymble caught a fucking screamer; Plunkett, Flintoff and of course Collingwood were superb in the last few matches.
Australia definitely needs to reconsider their lineup, personally I hate it, too much reliance on Ponting after an opener gets out; though he does usually perform.
ENGLAND WONT MAKE SEMIS - LOL THEY DONT STAND A CHANCE.CSI: CRIMES ™ said:i was at that game last night, glad that england won.
I was cheering with the Barmy Army hee in the rain too :rofl:
I'm surprised Aus lost this game, and this is the FINALS! You'd see this kind of performance by the aussies in the 1st game or 2nd game but damn this is finals we're talking about, they thought they'll fly pass easily but England bowlers/fielders was superb. I won't be surprised if England reaches past the semi-finals in the world cup coming up. Gilly what a bad performance, he couldn't stay any longer, for some reason he didn't play well these past few matches, in the batting especially.
I jumped out of my seat when i saw that Dalrymble catch and the replay on the screen
:rofl: at Flintoff's head shaking when he got the wicket, thats something to bob with when you're in a happy mood
aaaargh, WatsonSydney - Australia named a 15-man squad on Tuesday for their World Cup defence including injured allrounder Andrew Symonds and fast bowler Shaun Tait.
Symonds is likely to miss the opening matches of the tournament as he continues his recovery from a ruptured bicep tendon, while Tait got the nod over Stuart Clark for the final seamer's berth.
New South Wales wicketkeeper Brad Haddin was also included to act as Adam Gilchrist's understudy, meaning Victorian allrounder Cameron White missed out.
Australia are in Group A at the March 13-April 28 tournament alongside the Netherlands, Scotland and South Africa.
Ricky Ponting's side begin their campaign against the Scots in St Kitts on March 14.
Australia squad:
Ricky Ponting (captain), Adam Gilchrist, Matthew Hayden, Michael Clarke, Mike Hussey, Brad Hodge, Shane Watson, Andrew Symonds, Brad Haddin, Brad Hogg, Brett Lee, Mitchell Johnson, Shaun Tait, Nathan Bracken, Glenn McGrath.
Yeah Watson :burn:runtlocks said:Australian World Cup squad named:
