1ST ODI.

For those of you who don't like cricket, you'll just have to scroll faster. :P

Because this blog post will be about Shane Watson and his epic win at the MCG.
It was really amazing, because England batted first and they made 294, which is a really good score for One Day matches.
And Mitchell Johnson's run out was SO COOL. He bowled the ball, and the batsmen hit it a few metres away and decided to make a single, so Johnson ran over to the ball, kicked it onto the stumps and GOT HIM OUT. Hahahaha.
(Although, Johnson might run off to play for the Socceroos now, but whatever.)

Oh and Stevie Smith got his first wicket for the whole summer! :)
(And then, he got another wicket, yay!)
Although, I had no idea why he came in to bat before Cameron White and the Husseys. He only made about 5 runs, but that's okay because he only faced 4 balls.
(At least he didn't just block each ball, and do defensive shots all the time. That's what Clarke did, and it annoyed me. Seriously? Clarke made about 30 runs, yet probably faced about 60 balls. The required run rate was about 7 per over, and I don't even know if Clarke hit a four.)

Anyway, Mike Hussey and White were really helpful to (t)Watto. They actually made runs, while Watson could have a break up the non-striker's end. :P

And Watson hit, like, 4 sixes or something, and made 161 runs. He has some amount of skill. :D.
He was (obviously) Man Of The Match, with his match-winning century. Haha.

And yeah.
Good times.
Hopefully, Australia can win the other 6 matches, and England can go home crying into their stupid urn. :P
