AUS vs ENG 2nd Match CB Series 2007 : Australia beat England by 4 wickets
Jan 19
England's winter is starting to gather a bit of momentum. On Tuesday, they won their first game of the tour against New Zealand. Today they went one better they almost beat Australia.
In the end England were beaten by four wickets with 11.2 overs to spare in the CB Series at Brisbane, but the aggressive, impressive manner in which they defended an apparently miserable total of 155 will give them tentative optimism for the remainder of the series and the forthcoming World Cup.
James Anderson bowled beautifully in helpful overhead conditions to finish with 2 for 29, and Jon Lewis ran through a skittish top order to take 4 for 36. At one stage Australia were 48 for 4 and then 108 for 6, but England were unable to break the will of the inevitable Mike Hussey.
England collapsed after that, losing five wickets in a laughable seven-over period, before Andrew Flintoff (27) and Jamie Dalrymple (31) helped them limp to 155 all out. It seemed like a woefully under-par total; but for Hussey, it might have been enough.
