Teams for the 1st game:
We go with two spinners as throughout the year Tredwell and Swann have bowled well for us in the limited over formats.
First Innings: We lose the toss and are asked to bowl first and the forecast for the day has overcast weather for the entire day so this could be a low scoring match. We get watson early on and they manage to end the first 10 on 44-1. They end up getting 258-7 due to a large partnership between clarke and warner. Broad and anderson bowled superbly at the death and were able to keep the scoring below 6 a over for the last 10.
Second Innings: We go out with a attacking approach by opening with kieswetter and root with the hope kieswetter can smash some quick runs. We end the first 10 overs on 72-2 with kieswetter hitting 49 including 6 sixes before getting out. We then fell apart with none of our batsmen being able to make more than 40 and noone sticking around to hold together the innings and then we were all out for 216. This was a really dissapointing result after the start we had.
Batting Award: Kieswetter, smashed their bowlers around at the start of the innings.
Bowling Award: Broad, he bowled brilliantly at the start and at the death.
Series State: 1-0 down with 4 games remaining.
