Twenty20 World Cup

[JTG]

13.5 an over or thereabouts

hmmm

 

[JTG]

Gilchrist's going mad but not by enough to see England go out

I hope.

If the format's the same as the world cup then it's in Australia's interests to beat England but take us through with them isn't it?

scratch that, it's not the same format. shows how much attention I pay to international slogging tournaments

 

[ICB]

Gilly gone

get out slag

 

[JTG]

Australia score nine off an over and I'm relieved. stupid game.

 

[JTG]

England are through. Zimbabwe go home unless England find 9 wickets from somewhere or some miserly bowling

 

[ICB]

Be great to see Zim go through for double Aus humiliations

 

[agricola]

An unbelievable India - Pakistan game goes to a bowlout after Pakistan, thanks to Yasir and Misbah, get the game tied (from 39 required off 14) with two balls to spare but fail to score again, sparking mass insanity in a huge crowd.

Best 20-20 match ever?

 

[agricola]

India win the bowlout 3-0.

 

[Mapped]

The Pakistanis need a bit of practice in hitting the stumps.

Amazing last few overs though

 

[souljacker]

England need to win today but they've got no recognised wickie so Solanki is behind the stumps.

NZ are a 7-1 already!

 

[Donna Ferentes]

England need to win today but they've got no recognised wickie

So no change there then

 

[souljacker]

So no change there then

Arf!


90-5 at the moment.

 

[gabi]

I wonder why england produces so few genuine all-rounders? Flintoff excepted... NZ always seems to loads... pretty much everyone except for Bond can bat - england did well to contain them to 160 odd..

should be a tight one..

 

[Donna Ferentes]

Twenty needed off two overs. Breathless hush, blinding light...

 

[Donna Ferentes]

...and Shah is run out going for a second on a misfield.

 

[gabi]

Well thats it for the poms in this tournament then, disappointing.

 

[fear-n-loathing]

yet again england snatch defeat for the jaws of victory.

 

[Flashman]

What else could one expect?

 

[fear-n-loathing]

What else could one expect?

fair point, I should have learnt by now that anything is possible when following england. It is seldom victory though

 

[g force]

Mustard replacing Prior for Sri Lanka ODIs? Would have taken Ambrose for his batting ability as you'd assume Read is out of the picture.

 

[fear-n-loathing]

aussies have lost to pakistan

 

[mrkikiet]

that last 6 was BIG.

 

[mattie]

Well, this is a new low.

6 sixes off a Broad over.

I always wondered when India were going to fire. Sod's law it would be now.

 

[Kenny Vermouth]

Just saw the repeat of it. Two balls were toss, but the other four weren't so bad, he just got himself into a brilliant position.

 

[Ravzila]

as much as it pained me it was beautiful to watch.

 

[Kizmet]

Ahh. Yuvraj.. how we love to watch you bat. The little master is no more.. long live the barabarian.

 

[fear-n-loathing]

aussies are through to the semies

 

[Mapped]

Blimey SA out!

Well played India, the Kiwis owe you one

 

[DuckQuack'sEcho]

I'm not really fussed on this genre of cricket but naturally support Australia and am happy to see us through to the semi-finals. But the most satisfying outcome is to see South Africa humiliated on their home soil. I just love it when they choke so close to the final hurdle.

I couldn't care less who wins from here, just as long as it isn't SA.

 

[fear-n-loathing]

aussies could well be going out here
