[MegaBonus]

Australia resting half of their side, at least trying to give the poms even more of a sporting chance.

and as I have said to you all along - we've rested half of them for all of the one dayers.

Like who? Surely you're not suggesting that all the test playing failures were going to make up half your ODI team?

PS - maybe you should look at getting the Irishman into your test side. He and the Kiwi seem to be doing ok at least

The Zimbabwean wasn't too bad either.

I hear there's a young Canadian that might be a chance for their World Cup squad.

Of course not, but I would suggest that people who I believe are the top 2 leading wickets takers in test matches in 2013 would get in our side. The bloke who scored the most runs for England in this series and has more test runs than any of the players in the last series would get a game.

First 2 choice keepers aren't playing.

Swann was being rested for the one dayers prior to his retirement as well.

Carberry being rested

In other words, nobody special is missing. Case rested.

hahaha! you're funny Bomber
Only 3 of the top 5 bowlers in 2013, nobody major.

You do realise no matter how good someone WAS, they can get dropped for how they play NOW? Too easy!

you do realise that 2013 was only a month away and the squad was picked in 2013.

Tell that to Trott and Swann - and they were replaced. To me it looks pretty much your standard ODI line up from who is available and has an ounce of form, KP about the only exception, although even his days appear numbered.

Trott was never in the one day squad. I don't see how trott has anything to do with it or swann's retirement for that matter.

Broad didn't play in the 1st 2 one dayers. Where's Broad, he's been in form? So from last series best bowler, best batsmen and best keeper. Yep, that's the best team alright

Seems we've followed your lead in this match (except for best bowler).

Captain, vice-captain, 2nd best bowler, wicketkeeper all missing.

Funny how you guys get a start now, with those guys missing.

[God is an Englishman]

We'll finally see who has the better reserves side.

Finally admitting that Cook is only a reserves player!

Can you name the current australian test match player who has scored more runs than him?

Why does test player matter? These are ODI's.

It's a simple question really. :?

[swannsong]

Finally a win for the 'England' boys....was funny watching Cook's face near the end whenever something didn't go right....some brilliant expressions

[Bomber]

Well done england. Shall we go with our third side for Adelaide or get some of regular first choice ODI players back?

Keep it fair, we're only playing our reserves. So should you.

Well with certain people taking their chances it would change but it would certainly include Broad, Root, Prior (Kieswetter), KP & Anderson. Not sure who the spinner would be now but highly doubt it would be Tremlett.

Australia certainly got a bit of luck with the Bopara dismissal tonight.

I guess the luck was in part a result of Wade standing close...so not all luck !

[ruud]

hahaha england CHOKED AGAIN

I ball he hasn't taken falling onto the stumps at the exact moment Bopara lifts his foot is more down to luck than anything.

I do want to see that again, at the ground it looked like he didn't have the ball when he took the bails off. Everyone around was laughing wondering what he was appealing for. ABC were shocked when he was given out.

Amazing how Clarke was changing field placings all over the place and even stoping the bowler in his run up to change more that the aussies didn't seem to boo him like when cook takes his time.

[Dimitrios Ioannides]

It was definitely out. The keeper didn't take the bails off. He failed to catch the ball which after hitting his fingers fell onto the bails. Unfortunately Bopara had lifted his foot for the instant the bail was dislodged.

I like the way you used an uppercase for Clarke but not for cook. Are you trying to tell us something?

Typical aussie bias really. clarke automatically changes to upper case, Cook doesn't.

I haven't seen it since at the ground last night but someone whose opinion I trust told me similar as to what you have said. English commentators on social media seem to think he wasn't out though.

Ravi bopara stumping is a disgrace. The idea of the reviewing is to get rid of the guess work

England lose a nail biter. Not bitter but Man of the Match goes to Australia's 3rd Umpire on taking the vital wicket of Bopara!! #notout

Agreed, STINKER

it was out; one end of bail was out if its grove”

Therefore not out ...both have to be
