Super Eight

Gillespie still injured? Thought he would of replaced Franklin.

Gillespie's fit for the game - just not selected.

Flem ya gimp

Flem ya gimp

I had a bet that Flem would go first.

NZ could get 350+ if the early signs are anything to go by.

Hamish finally finding some form again.

Fulton and Marshall going head to head here

 

[BoyBrumby]

Ireland could be in a little strife here. No Botha to fall back on, could be sheer murder when Styris, Oram & the Mac Lads get in. 350+ on?

If that is murder... then when Bond bowls it will be genicide!

Genocide.

And its probably not a word that should be used tbh

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Marshall goes.

Enter The Pig

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Shot Hamish.

 

[Isolator]

God damn you to hell Marshall. Why do I always back the worst guys?

 

[simmy]

I don't think Marshall wants to be there. Needs to fly home.

Pretty harsh comment haha

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Oh dear.

Looks like our middle order is gonna get some batting after all.

 

[Dark Hunter]

Styris GONE, caught behind off Langford-Smith

 

[simmy]

Good move to bring Rankin back on I think.

Lets remember that England actually competed against Australia much more than South Africa did.

Say what now?

The Eng/Aus game was dead and buried 10 overs into Australia's innings. SA were officially favourites from the bookmaker's point of view until Graeme Smith went off injured, and they were even money until Gibbs got out.

Ridiculous statement really, I reckon Australian fans felt much safer 10 overs into the second innings vs. Eng than vs. SA.

Top innings from Bell there, held it all together. KP playing well as per usual, but we can't keep relying on him. Vaughan, Strauss, Flintoff all need to make runs or we're ****ed. We can't just hope that KP, Collingwood and Bell will bail us out in these matches, because KP is bound to hit a rotten form some time.

Well said by the way. I was away yesterday but watched the Bell/KP partnership which I really enjoyed. Bell looked a transformed player and it was a real shame he gave his wicket away after playing such a good knock.

Completely agree.
