It’s clearly still early days in the ODI series against the Canary Yellows, however we’ve adequately seen to make a few clearing and most likely mistaken speculations. So here goes …It, first of all, gives the idea that we’ve actually got the wood over them. Something really doesn’t add up about our strut. During the 1990s you just knew from the manner in which Matthew Hayden ate his gum that the Aussies planned to win. With each snarly self-important bite, Hayden appeared to be saying ‘you folks are poo, and I will have my direction with you when I bat’. Which, obviously, he perpetually did. The git.

This time the boot’s on the other foot

At the point when Britain were three wickets down at Ruler’s, and the speed of the innings a bit sluggish, Trott didn’t appear to mind. Some way or another he knew we’d up the rate and in the long run post a decent aggregate. Our ODI side hasn’t generally done that previously – we’ve overreacted like pelicans – however against this resistance, we were dependably certain of progress. Thus it demonstrated. Recently likewise allowed us an opportunity to evaluate a portion of the Australian players. Furthermore, by ‘size up’ I’m alluding to Shane Watson.

There comes a period in each thirty something’s life when overabundance weight is more enthusiastically to move. A large portion of us imagine we’ve been working out, and that the additional size is really muscle. David Lloyd said something about Watson’s ‘wide casing’ on analysis yesterday – however you’re not tricking anybody Blunder. We understand what you implied. Watson is finishing up quicker than Marv Hughes on a protein shake and chocolate eating routine. Also, it’s presumably got more to do with Taco Chimes than hand weights.

More amazing than Watson yesterday was his initial accomplice David Warner

He has speedy hands and an extraordinary eye. That is the terrible information. Fortunately he moves his feet comparably much as Phil Hughes (for example not very) and he looks a piece dodgy against turn. Despite the fact that he has some serious ability, you’d anticipate that Britain’s patient assault should fix him back in the test field and in the end exploit his blemishes. In any case, hopefully.

The most satisfying part of the previous success, nonetheless, was the presentation of our bowling assault. We will not get into the five bowler banter in the future – why the selectors need to play four bowlers in a game that endures five days, yet five in a game that endures only one is impossible for me to grasp – so we should simply appreciate how strong they looked without harping on the more extensive issue.

Cook had serious choices wherever he looked yesterday. At the point when we wanted a wicket, he could go to Jimmy or the truly noteworthy Steve Finn. On the off chance that he expected to go after the left handers, or smother the run rate, he could go to Swann. Furthermore, that is not in any event, referencing Stuart Wide, who has hostility and a decent cricket cerebrum, or the earnest Bresnan. It’s an imposing unit.
