Australia/England/India Tri Series Jan/Feb 2015

hope that's not the Australian strip for the world cup

Why not. It's far better than ones they have had in the past. I don't mind this one.

England have done well to do away with the red strip. That was nasty.

it was a bad joke at the guy playing the didgeridoo before the anthems

Red kit is the T20 ensemble.

Can England look to apply pressure at both ends?

[Arthur Crabtree]

If this was England batting, we'd be saying Bailey is putting pressure on his batting partner.

I think that last time they were here, they wore red in the ODI's. (didn't they?)

[Arthur Crabtree]

Maybe as a try out for the WCT20. Could be wrong on this.

[rich1uk]

they had an all red ODI kit , didn't last long

[rich1uk]

bailey gone , nice to see broad getting wickets

glad to see finn on as well , I think that the extra bounce he gets could be the one thing that unsettles smith

[GarlicJam]

No, I just searched - at least against SL and NZ, besides us. (all ODI's)

Last March at home, V the WIndies, and the one dayers after the Ashes here last. Even this photo below is from 2009 (and a ODI). Are you having a lend of me, Arthur - or in denial?

[Arthur Crabtree]

I thought it was some kind of colour coding worked out with the Waitrose people. Like giving all your bread one packaging, and your legumes another one.

Not an ideal time for Big Show to come in.

If this was England batting, we'd be saying Maxwell is putting pressure on his batting partner.

smith looks like he is batting on a different pitch to everyone else

[rich1uk]

buttler almost screwed that up big time , very lucky he got the second chance as that's the big wicket

[alfie]

Slowest stumping I've ever seen

England won't mind. Smith appeared to be batting on a different pitch to his teammates , though even he had been brought back after those early overs.

Australia in a bit of trouble ; though they do bat very deep.

they do bat deep but its also all all-rounders from here on in , all the specialist batsmen are gone

I promise I hadn't seen your post when I commented just then , rich.
