If you want to describe England in a phrase as to how they’ve performed in this series, it would no doubt be ‘completely dominant’. From the first match till the last, that is all the hosts have been humbling their arch-rivals Australia, the ICC ranked #1 team in the world, in a way no one had expected..
The last ODI of the series which happened at Old Trafford in Manchester was almost called off due to bad weather, but the umpires took a tough decision, which ultimately proved to be fruitful for England and its fans. It was decided that the teams would play 32 overs each, but that was cut short as well, with later disturbances from ... .. Read complete article |

The word is spreading quickly. England have probably become the team to beat. They showed the world what they were capable of, just by winning the 1st ODI of the 5-match NatWest series against the ICC ranked #1 team in the world Australia. But who would have thought that they’d line the Aussies up nicely for a whitewash? Having won 2nd ODI comfortably, and with the 3rd ODI being washed away by rain, they had to wait a bit longer before they could taste victory yet again, against their arch-rivals. With today's win, they have sealed the series win with an astounding 3-0, with one more match to go. But the utter dominance they have shown with ... .. Read complete article |

Toned down, is what comes to mind when you compare England and Australia’s recent “subtle” matches to their earlier sledge-filled clashes. But it doesn’t mean that the town don’t put everything else they have out there. England already had a 1-0 lead and going into the second ODI of the 5-match NatWest series, at the Oval, they were in top form, mind and body. One thing that would bother them though, was the fact that they hadn’t won a match on this famed ground since 1997, and they were looking to put those past demons away..
The scores Australia 251 for 7 wkts in 50 ovs.
England 251 for 4 wkts in 45.4 overs.

Aussies and English have fought tooth and nail countless times, having convincing victories against each other as well as nail biting finishes and even though the story of first ODI of the 5-match series wasn’t as close, it was highly entertaining. The hype was the same and the crowd was also almost the same, and when the two teams started playing, one could see the seriousness and determination to not make even a single mistake, in both sides.
Just the way these two were playing showed almost everything you needed to know about the rivalry and how important it was for them to get a victory. Sheer concentration was oozing out of both the sides, who knew that ... .. Read complete article |

Michael Clarke will captain the side with Shane Watson as his deputy. Watson will open the innings with David Warner but Mathew Wade, now the first choice wicket keeper, ... .. Read complete article |
