Random "fun" fact: AC Cummins is the former West Indian fast bowler, who has a one day international bowling average of 30.55 (86 wickets). However, he's approaching 41 years of age, and in a recent "minnows" tournament where he played 8 matches, took only 5 wickets at an average of 48.60 (whilst conceding more than a run a ball).

Good win by Australia yesterday, but also a good moral victory for the English, in that we couldn't bowl them out, and congrats to my favourite pom Darren Gough for making his highest ODI score.

Random Notes:

1) Shane Watson - Sure, he's a fine batsman, and useful bowler... But last time I checked, no other Aussie all-rounder was spooked by a ghost. He'll be a great player.....When he matures.

2) Jason Gillespie - Is he 100% fit? He stretches a lot during his overs anyway, but yesterday he seemed more concerned than normal, especially when clutching at the hammy (did twice).

3) (for the English or anyone who watches channel 7's coverage in the land down under) Nasser Hussain is right - Nasser was never great at picking the Aussies, but what if he's right about the Australians peaking at the Natwest Final, and carrying on through the Ashes? Could us crafty Aussies be lulling the Poms into a false sense of security?

Rather than add a 2nd edit: I'm not so sure the Aussies are back Chris, I mean, we couldn't dismiss either Gough or Harmison... Signs look good for the Aussies, but until we can skittle you guys properly, England are still justthatbit ahead of Australia... After all, you guys can beat Bangladesh, so bad that Paul Collingwood scored a ton and took 6-fer.

I haven't watched in ages, but since Easter I've sort of fallen into the habiot of watching. The Scully family confuses me.
