Ashes are done, now for the ODIs

[Bill Manspeaker]

Over 43.2: Muirhead to Ballance, FOUR, full, drives away wide of cover, nice shot that just reaches the ropes
Over 43.4: Muirhead to Ballance, FOUR, full and wide, drives out past cover for his four in three deliveries

cutting loose now! strike rate up to 37.50

[me]

good to see most of the top order order spending little time at the crease

[Capper]

So a team of Beer and 16 year olds have the english at 4/113

[Bill Manspeaker]

Over 49.6: Muirhead to Ballance, FOUR, drives out past cover, his 50 from 124 balls, 175 mins, 5 fours, well batted. ENG 4/142 (Bell 13, Ballance 51)

[PowerBug]

yes! :D

Loving this innings. :D Adelaide test here he comes ;D

[PowerBug]

flower

Ian Bell has just run Ballance out. Dickhead.

[Bill Manspeaker]

ahwell. still the favourite for the 2nd test i'd say

[BB67th]

Over 53.3: Beer to Ballance, no run, OUT, drives hard to mid on, there's a mix-up and Muirhead saves, getting the throw in to Beer, run out for 55 (192 mins, 134 balls, 5 fours) - England 5/146

Decent innings, is it good enough to get him a test position?

I think if Bresnan doesn't get up, Stokes will come into the side. If Bresnan is fit, who can probably bowl a bit more than Tremlett, then it will be Bairstow or Ballance to come in.

[Bill Manspeaker]

Over 56.2: Mackin to Bell, no run, OUT, comes forward and gets a touch, good diving catch by Doran - England 6/149, with Swann heading out to bat with 5 mins to go to Tea

[BB67th]

This is good, a nice demoralising performance by England is what we need.

[Nige]

I have been praying all week that Timmy Bresnan gets up.  ;D

[me]

yeah tim bresnan is as good as in

looks like england have sorted out their batting in alice! =D
