Cricket Update: David Hussey wins it for the Australians against England
David Hussey presented a thorough batting performance, to steer his side home by 4 wickets. This win at the SCG has earned the host’s a lead of 3-0 in the ODI series. Hussey played a knock of unbeaten 68 runs, with support of John Hastings at the end. This
has allowed Australia to now sight the next one day as the one that will earn them the series after all. David Hussey managed to steer his team through much like his brother Michael Hussey, who is known for the same role in the team. David batted well to remain
not out till the end, while bagging the SCG encounter in a comprehensive manner.
Brad Haddin also played an aggressive knock, scoring 54 runs when Australia was witnessing desperate times. The middle order did not flash a problem which remains to be associated with the Australians more often. Shane http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Watson-c96326 went early off Tremlett, making
just 9 runs. Shaun Marsh, who was brilliant the other day, could not carry on with his form and was dismissed by Ajmal Shehzad after adding 6 runs. Michael http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Clarke-c51120 remained to be cursed, adding just 9 runs to the total and was sent packing by Chris Woakes.
Michael Yardy took a brilliant catch to guide the Australian skipper towards the pavilion. Clarke has maintained his poor performance record, but the only thing saving him from outright criticism are the wins that his side has claimed in the last three one
day’s including the one today.
England could not defend much as their score was not that huge in the first place. Posting a total of 214 was not that easy a chase for the team batting second at the SCG, but nonetheless it was not impossible. Under lights, the conditions change dramatically
for the side batting second, but http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 managed to pull it off, thanks to an individual’s performance, which has been the trend for Australia in this series. First ODI saw Shane Watson do the job, the second witnessed Marsh to cover the embarrassment, while
today it was David Hussey who brought his side victory. England posted this score due to some outclass batting by Jonathan Trott, but the rest did not express much, contributing towards the defeat in their respective manner.
The bowling remained to be brilliant for the Aussies, with Brett Lee leading from the front picking up 3 wickets against 27 runs. This performance from the pacer has rung the alarm bells before the World Cup, and team Australia are expecting from him to
fire in the sub-continent.
