Australia easily matched that.

Australia win to go 1 game up in the 6 match series

UPDATE:
England batting first... setting a target for Australia.

Its a "good pitch" and so a score of 300 should be achievable

England NOT doing too well after 34 overs (of 50) they have only 157.

Score: 4/157

England DID buck up their ideas in the last few overs... mainly thanks to Morgan hitting a few 6's... helping himself to a Century (more than 100)... and helping the team total to a respectable 300

TARGET for Australia is 301

Australia NOT off to a brilliant start....

After 11 overs, score 2/60.

Two players out is not great... but us Ozzies will be ok :cool

:91 AUSTRALIA WIN!!! :91


VERY exciting game... Australia actually looked like losing..... well before last few overs they needed far more than a run a ball and all but one player out!!!!

A few sixes kept them just alive..... came down to needing 12 runs off last over.... and they did it with first 3 balls... a Four off each.

as a rough guide only.... the final score can be predicted to be about DOUBLE the score after 30 overs (batting rate can be increased towards the end of an innings)

With the score 4/126 after 30 overs... the experts are saying that 250 will be a "good score" on this pitch... I tend to disagree... I think 280+ is what England need to post to set a good target for Australia

England falling to pieces :)

Another one just out...

Score 7/195 in 43rd over

even if they make another 60 runs from here (which I doubt) they will only make around 250

England innings over... Score: 9/243

So target for Australia to win 244

Australia SHOULD do that ok?

Australia are "resting" 4 of best players.... the series is won by Austraia already.

Quote:
Captain Michael Clarke will be rested from the Australian side for Friday's fourth one-day international against England in Perth, with George Bailey to captain the side.

Australian selectors have also decided to rest Shane Watson, Brad Haddin and David Warner.

While Clarke and Watson will return for the final match of the series on January 26, Haddin and Warner will also miss the Adelaide fixture.

NOTE:

Australia are now ranked No. 1 in ICC ODI World Rankings. :91

India were in top place, but the recent 2 matches lost to NZ has caused their ranking to slip to No.2 with Oz moving to No. 1 :)

This looks like a great pitch... a high score possible... I think England NEED in excess of 300... maybe 350 on this pitch to set a good target for Australia to try and match.

Score: England 0/65 after 9 overs
