Hi there sports fans! Australia won the ODI yesterday against England easily, with 60 balls to spare. D. Warner and S.Marsh both got 71 runs each, Marsh was n.o. Warner had a direct hit at the stumps from outside the circle, running out I.Bell. During the Power play Hadden realised there were five players outside the circle. This is against the fielding rules because the wrong number of fielders were outside the circle. Australia has now won the series, and have all eight matches against England during the summer. With two ODI's to go, they are looking for 10/10.

CRICKET TIPS OF THE DAY:
We didn't watch any cricket today, but did play some at a cricket holiday camp and some of the things we learnt were:
When fielding, to throw the ball straight and far, hold the ball with your 2 fingers like bunny ears, across the seam.
When bowling, if you want to bowl straight (no swing) hold your bunny ear fingers across the seam.

Tomorrow night 7.40pm Melbourne Stars are playing Hobart Hurricanes at the MCG - and we will be there!!!!!!!! Hopefully taking a catch!

The Australian Open is in its second week. Thank goodness it is not as hot as last week. Serena Williams was surprisingly knocked out of the tournament yesterday. Maria Sharapova was also eliminated today. Ferrer and Djokovic made it through today. Right now Federer and Tsonga are playing the first set. This should be a great match. Although I don't think I'll be allowed to stay up and watch it!

Thanks for reading, can't wait to report on the Stars match!
