Australia cruised to a 6 wicket victory against Englandat the Rose Bowl to take a 3-0 lead in the 7 match ODI Series.
England's skipper Andrew Strauss won the toss and elected to bat 1st but his team were only able to post a below par total of 228.
This total never seemed likely to test Australia and so it prove Cameron White struck a maiden international century while skipper Michael Clarke hit a well made 52 as Australia cruised home.
England will be very happy with their recent performances in Test Cricket but there is no doubt that there one day form needs to be looked at in the near future.
Australia despite their poor recent form are the World Champions in One Day Cricket and so far in this series they have proved to be far too good for England.
The next game is at Lord's on Saturday and England have much to ponder before that contest.
Australia on the other hand will be aiming to upset the [url="http://www.oddsbet.co.uk/content/ashes-series-201011"]Odds[/URLand win the Series 7-0.

Hey,
i hope England will come back strongly through the remaining four matches of the series, i think the main problem is the absence of Flintoff and Peterson.

England have been really poor in the series so far. They've made some bad decisions too, like leaving the batting powerplay too late and leaving on Rashid.

Especially Pietersen. England were well placed in the first two games to chase down the total Australia set them before losing wickets in the middle of the innings, and in the third game at the Rose Bowl we only made 228. We need someone like Pietersen who can get through the middle overs scoring at about 5 an over and then accelerate the innings.
