RE: Aussies Lose to England in First ODI

England win the 2nd ODI against Australia. Wink

Quote:BIRTHDAY boy Stuart Broad powered his side to victory as England made it a perfect 10.

Broad celebrated his 24th birthday with a superb four-wicket haul against the ­Aussies to prove his recent stint in the gym has paid dividends.

And new batting sensation Eoin Morgan cashed in for the second game running, hitting 52 as the Three Lions roared home in the second ODI with 28 balls and four wickets left.

This time Morgan was unable to see his side home as England suffered a late ­wobble with the bat. But Tim Bresnan (12no) and Graeme Swann (19no) held their nerve to seal victory.

It was England’s 10th successive win in all forms of the game following their World T20 triumph and two Test wins over Bangladesh.

RE: Aussies Lose to England in First ODI

England win the series against the Aussies as they have now won 3 out of the 5 matches.

Quote:Strauss relief after England win

Andrew Strauss said watching his side survive a collapse before scraping a one-wicket win over Australia with five balls left was a "horrendous" feeling.

England were all set to romp home at 185-3, needing 213 for an unassailable 3-0 lead in the five-match series.

But it went horribly wrong for a while and Strauss said: "We hit a couple of speed bumps in the first two one-dayers and today we hit a major one.

"There were some pretty nervous guys but Tim Bresnan got us over the line."

While Strauss, with 87, provided the main thrust for England's batting at Old Trafford, the victory was set up by the bowlers who dismissed Australia for their lowest score so far in the series.

"The spinners were outstanding, the guys reacted well to the conditions we were encountering, we put the batsmen under pressure and that is leading to wickets," said the England skipper.

"I think any series win against Australia is a big achievement and you have to dig pretty deep. Personally it's a great feeling to beat them but we are conscious there are areas we can improve in."

Graeme Swann took 4-37 with some fine spin bowling, and said he was pleased to be part of a team doing their utmost to avenge Australia's 6-1 series victory last year.

RE: Aussies v England ODI Cricket

DES KELLY: Is cricket corrupt? You bet ...


Well, that's solved then. Job done. We can all pack up and move on. Who needs an investigation? Pakistan's High Commissioner Wajid Shamsul Hasan says he has spoken to the cricket players accused of corruption and already discovered 'they are innocent'.

'I have got to the bottom of it,' said our sleuth. 'I spoke to the players for two hours. They were set up.' So move along now. Nothing to see here.

Of course there is the inconvenient matter that Salman Butt, Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Aamer all appeared to deliver no-balls to order, exactly as an alleged fixer predicted on camera in an undercover sting.

But that is just detail, something the High Commissioner believes can be swept away in a bluster of indignation, scattergun counter-accusations and waffle.

Right now, the Pakistan authorities are in denial. As far as Hasan is concerned, there is need for a diplomatic silence until the charges are proved either way.

It is far easier for Pakistan to paint this sporting scandal as part of a wider conspiracy. The head of the International Cricket Council is an Indian, you see. The bookmakers involved in the alleged spot-fixing scam were Indian, too. 'That is why this whole frame-up has come about!' Hasan exclaimed. So, it was India's fault.

As misguidedly gung-ho public defences go, this was way past William Hague's effort. Had Hasan stuck to an argument that the burden of proof lay with the newspaper that made the accusations, innocent until proven guilty and all that, he might have garnered some sympathy.

As soon as he cast Pakistan as political martyrs to their Indian neighbours and political enemies, he was cast as a preposterous fool.

But the battleground was still shifting. Here, it might appear a simple case of whether three sportsmen took money to fix specific moments in a game; a topic for curious conversation between sips of tea and snippets of Radio 4 long wave.
