England's Tour of Australia - Ashes, ODIs and T20s 13/14

Well well, bowled out the Aussies for 259 with Stokes taking 4 wickets. A win at last.

Whaaaaaaaat? .
I demand a stewards inquiry .
We can't have England winning in Australia.
Quite frankly I'm appalled .

Hooray - The whitewash has just turned into a very light shade of grey.
I note that now Alistair Cook is saying that he is 'deperate to remain as captain.'

Much better performance,especially by the bowling attack.Now can they win again on Sunday against what will be a much stronger Australian side.

Australia win the Toss & elect to bat in the 5th ODI at the Adelaide Oval.

Australia - Finch, Watson, Marsh, Clarke, Bailey, Maxwell, Wade, Faulkner, Coulter-Nile, McKay, Doherty

England make one change,with Root coming in for Ballance.

Finch,the centurian in the last match has been put down twice by the Essex pair of Cook & Bopara,could prove to be expensive drops.

Australia 43-3 Finch 7 & Watson 0 both dismissed by Broad,with Bresnan taking the wicket of Clarke for 8.England on top

Latest - 50-3 -15 overs

Aussies finish on 217/9. Broad pick of the bowlers with 3 wickets and economy of 3.1. Stokes also picked up 3 but was slightly more expensive. A couple of wickets for Jordan at the end who also bowled economically.

Still lost again though, what a shambles of a tour!

England were well placed at 154-3 in the 36th over,when both set batsmen morgan & Root threw their wickets away,Bopara got bogged down until the 3rd umphire took a wild guess & gave him out when he was our last chance to win the match.
