1st ODI: Australia v England at Melbourne

Senjster,


Well done to your team and as I have said several times the 3-0 was closer than it appears. Our bowlers rescued us.


Lehmann was the coach when you lost 3-0.


well done but no need for us to panic and fans and the administration is in great despair.


Media frenzy as usual. Remember what your press wrote about your team last summer. Unfair and they will wrongly take some credit for this turnaround.


Trott's departure from the tour was a seminal moment.

The ENG Coach and Captain need to revert to the policy/preparation/strategy they had adopted previously ...... whereby they approached each game one at a time, each series one at a time.

That seemed to work for them .........

Haha!!! .............. bet Mother Earth loves all the affection  :-* she gets from Shiv though 

Totally a 300+ pitch, 270 was slightly below par, but defendable. But yeah, Finchy played a classy innings and happy for him. Poms didn't take their chances at all that should have been taken while defending a relatively moderate score.
I guess the good thing is that Ballance is looking good for them, and Morgs is in good nick.
