Ok, lets try to get everyone away from footy for a little while! Anyone think we can win the final v Oz tomorrow morning?
In AA's absence, i'll try to get a match dialogue going, but me and getting up at 4am hasnt always been a sucessful combination in the past.! Especially when its ffffreezing out there .
OUT!! Ali beat the outside edge as Smith charged down the wicket. Buttler dropped the ball first time but Smith was so far down the wicket that he managed to whip the bails off at the second opportunity.

England win the toss and will bowl first. Overcast in Perth. Got that in the back of my mind as well. Oh well. I'm up now. In for a Sunday marathon.
0-1, 0.3 overs
Finch gone for 0(3). c Root (first slip) b Anderson
Warner 12(18) c Taylor b Anderson
Bailey 2 (17) c Taylor b Broad
Smith 32 (34) is proving to be tough to dislodge again but otherwise a very good opening quarter to Australia's 50 overs.
Bailey out after getting 2 runs in 17 balls
Anderson 6-2-11-2
Woakes 4-0-29-0
Broad 2-0-6-1
Finn 1-0-1-0

Stubborn partnership this one. Two more overs of powerplay leading into the final 10.
Maxwell 75 (89)
Marsh 34 (51)
Maxwell 95 (97)
Marsh 39 (55)
I'll give you one guess on whose figures (out of our five bowlers) are last in this list:
8-2-27-2
6-1-25-1
8-0-37-0
9-0-36-1
9-0-65-0
201-5, 41 overs.
Maxwell 95 (98), c Buttler b Broad
Marsh 48 (60)

Ali finishes with 10-0-39-1.

Great over from Anderson. All the quicks have an over left each.
Faulkner 3 (6)
Johnson 0 (4)
Broad finishes with 10-1-55-3
Faulkner 8 (10)
Johnson 1 (6)
Anderson next to complete his final over.
Faulkner did some damage that over. Anderson has 10-2-38-2
Faulkner 18 (15)
Johnson 1 (7)
Woakes on next. Finn will bowl the last over.
267-7, 49 overs.
Woakes finishes with figures of 10-0-89-0. Is this fella an international cricketer?
Faulkner 41 (20)
Johnson 2 (8)
Hopefully Finn can give us a quiet over. Commentators reckon Aussies have a very good score now.
269-8, 49.3 overs.
Johnson 3 (10), c Morgan b Finn
Faulkner 42 (21)
Starc 0 (0)
Faulkner 50 (24)
Starc 0 (0)
Finn 10-0-53-1
Ali concedes 39,
Finn concedes 53,
Broad concedes 55,
Woakes concedes 89 and is the only bowler to not take a wicket.
Could be the difference between winning and losing this game.
