Prelude to the Ashes, and one to saviour.
No Clarke for Aus, and England have Swann missing/rested/hidden and Finn dropped, or not the right balance.
Eng win the toss, and decide to bat.
It should have been a 325 pitch, but, after a great start, Eng miss opportunities to press on, and allowed Aus back into the game.
Bell scored 91, but,it was one of those innings, you ever knew if it was match winning, or losing.
Bopara added some much needs runs, quickly at the end, as England finished on 270. I though it was 40 light, but, Warner isn't in great nick, and once Watson was out, they folded pretty tamely.
Hard to see Aus winning this tourny, without Clarke.
I can't really see Eng winning it either, but, they have very decent bowlers.
