Batting - aussies edge over english Bowling - English edge over aussies
I think the firepower in australian team and their ability to score quicker in powerplays could favour them as the both sides look equal in other departments...
far too many attempts at T20 batting from kieswetter.
moving around in his crease and clearing his front leg.
needs to stay still, he's at his best hitting down the ground and through the covers.

and besides with morgan set as he was, rotating the strike was enough. SR of less than hundred is all down to his being overambitious and thinking he was facing a county attack and not brett lee.

I dont understand the logic of having Kieswetter in the middle order
His whole game is setup to open
the way he bats, hits the ball and plays usually suits having the field in the circle
he doesn't have the technique to work the ball or smash it out of the ground on a consistent basis

Aus needed around 5.5 runs an over. They are running at 5 runs an over with only one wicket down. That's mainly why they are favourites although the fall of a wicket or two in the near future with turn things around...

Ah Bopara was brought on when I making my chicken and vegetable soup!
Game still Finely Balanced but of course market has to favour Aus with all those wickets in hand!..............

Ffs. Never like this keiswetter. Think prior is as good with the bat. Personally I'd play foster, not sure who he's upset. He'd have taken that one easily

I'm not saying there is a gaping chasm between the teams, but surely this is the worst Australian ODI team for years.
I read Watto's comments before the match about how Wade was a much better no 7 than Bresnan and how clearly this meant that England didn't have enough batting, presumably he hadn't spotted who the Oz no 6 was. I'm not sure Smith would even get into any England team of the 90s.

mike hussey obviously leaves a big hole but what are they thinking batting steve smith at 6 ? he'd bat 8 at best in the england line up. never a front line batsman in a million years
