Watch highlights: Australia vs England, the 2nd ODI played at Lord’s on Sep 6, 2009.
Scoreline: (Toss – Eng) Aus 249/8: Mitchell Johnson 43 (23), Callum Ferguson 55 (58), Cameron White 42 (66)
Eng 210 all out: Andrew Strauss 47 (53), Collingwood 56 (83)
Team Shuffles: England – Tim Bresnan for an injured Stuart Broad, Eoin Morgan for a fit Adil Rashid (to bolster the batting and combat the dreaded powerplays)
In the 1st ODI, it was England that looked silly scoring just 18 in the 2nd powerplay (fielding side). Today, Australia almost embarrassed themselves during their innings by leaving the 3rd powerplay late only to have Johnson save face. Paine continues to look unconvincing at the top. Wonder what happened to Graham Manou – the little on display in the Ashes was of a confident aggressive option when Haddin’s not around. While England did bowl well in better morning conditions, there was hardly any intent of aggression early on from Aus with the game petering along making all recent talk on changes to the ODI format seem reasonable.
The Dilshan scoop has been the single most talked about shot in recent times, deservedly. But Johnson today played a shot that was astonishing in its audacity and intelligence. Sidebottom had been repeatedly following him with fullish balls at his feet as he backed away – Johnson’s reply was a reverse scoop aimed above short third man. It got him only a couple but is worth repeat viewing.
Lee was very good in the 1st ODI but today was pretty much back to pre-tour-of-India-Lee. Bopara had a painful time against him and the only reason Ravi didn’t look painfully miserable was because Strauss was playing quite fluently. Strauss appeared distracted by a bomber (marking a World War anniversary) that had some of the members nostalgic and from thereon England though above the asking rate began their slow fade-away.
The 3rd power-play had most commentators rabid – to England’s credit, the asking rate was well less than a run-a-ball while Collingwood and Wright were going, so maybe that was a fair call not to take it at that time considering Collingwood’s game usually is of the nudge sort. Where England messed up was while Swann was around – he faced 22 balls during a period when the runs began to clamber over the deliveries available. So a horrid mess in the end that leaves the question – was Strauss in charge of the decision, or did Collingwood take that one. Does it really matter in the end.

Hello admin, second video stops at 5:52. what do I do? Have tried all the usual- refreshing page etc.
Sorry to bother you- thanks for your work.
Hey man. Here’s the direct link – http://videos.sapo.pt/s4VDvjoF2M4YwuJ0HTSb
Would advise use of Firefox as browser – works without a hitch usually (unless of course you’re already using it) – Admin
Sorry Admin,
video stopped there also at exactly the same place- will try now firefox.
I´ll let you know how I go so that you don´t lose any sleep worrying about me
Not to sound patronizing (cos I don’t know much about all this myself), but unless you’ve emptied your cache (used the Remove temp files, history etc option) in your browser, the video will run exactly the length previously watched. Similar to – when you’ve streamed a video fully and watch it again, no buffering happens and it plays seamlessly, cos it’s there in your cache. – Admin
Tried firefox without emptying all my caches and stuff and it worked!!! (I did accidently copy all my temp files from internet browser to firefox .. so …??)(who can explain this?)
Thanks for your help
Maybe someone with some tech knowhow can shed some light here, or maybe Firefox just rules – Admin
you rule.
Firefox rules, admin rules, cricket rules
every browser has a different cache: hence if wagaman played the video for the first time in firefox, it would not have been cached there.
But firefox rules anyways… (though chrome is faster)
Wow, What a Come back from Australia…. Shane Watson you beauty! Leading the bowling attack! England had HUGE ADVANTAGE!! It was Overcast when eng were bowling, it was a grassy pitch when england were bowling so the ball was swinging and nipping around! Mitchell Johnson Got australia Back into the game out of the jaws of deafeat with the bat, and the Watson did the same with the ball!
Even thing was in englands favor when they were batting aswell!, Clear Sunny sky now, the gass on the pitch is gone, so the ball wasnt swinging or nipping around! and then they get a quick opening partnership of 71!!! But Australia Created somthing out of nothing and Drove england into the ground!
Go AUSTRALIA!, The Weather isnt saving England now! (BUt it looks like its still trying to… -_- Grass, overcast ect.)
Series 0-2! Australias way!
mitchell johnson is batting better than mike hussey. Fergy rules – should play tests in future.
Dear Admin — really, you are better than Santa Claus for a bloke out of the cricket loop (in USA).
I feel like I should be sending you flowers and chocolates.
It is so nice to get this edited footage from you on a regular basis — infinitely better to watch than bloody baseball over here (whose players are overpaid and spoiled and chew tobacco).
Thanks a thousand times over.
The second video is not opening for me. I even tried the direct link. What can I do now?
Must be a browser related issue – try with Firefox
what´s baseball windigo?
Good win Aussie – starting to get a good young team together. I’ve always felt that Oz should use younger players in 1 day games – traditionally has never been many changes from test team. And the rest of th e world has been using younger players for a while.
Cheers Admin – agree with Windigo, USA sports don’t interest me much and the service you provide for cricket fans is stellar. Thanks for keeping me in touch!
Strauss could consider politics as a career, with the way he tried to dodge that last question from Hussein hehe.
