Super Eight

[simmy]

Now Colly and Straussy would have to get this England innings back on track.



P.S: It was a dire shot from KP.

It really was and it is such a shame because he rarely lets his side down and to do it so softly is massively disappointing.

In anticipation of our potential elimination when I'm at home (haven't got the net at new home yet) I'd like to announce that ODIs are obviously crap and Test Cricket is what matters

h4r:

I am not just agreeing with this because England suck at ODIs but it is obviously a true statement:

Tests > 20/20 > ODI

There is noticeably noone left in this thread since KP went... fair enough IMO.

 

[GIMH]

As much as we've relied on him, it was only a couple of months ago that we beat Australia in Australia without him. It's not over until the end, and there's still a game on

Andre "the chimp" has troubled every English batsman and he has bowled with lot of fire.


I think Nel would have said something provocative to KP in Afrikkans for him to play such a dire shot to get out.

I think it's highly unlikely that KP got talked out.

Prob a bit of pressure or a misjudge of length.

Nice shot Colly

Shot!! Colly looking in good touch, he is probably England's last hope to get a decent total.

Yeah him and the guy at the other end

Maybe Flintoff can come into some batting form

(what's the emoticon for crazy optimist?)

Wooh!! Peach of a delivery from Hall.

The crowd attendance has really been good today, probably the best we have had in this WC so far.



Kallis tossing spitting cobra's atm.

Bloody hell, how are we supposed to bat with snakes being flung around? Disrespectful

England are prob the best supported nation both at home and away and this crowd doesn't surprise me either considering its magnitude.

 

[Hoppy1987]

yep, i think that is one thing our country is good at, supporting sport lol!

 

[pup11]

Kemp wanted to bowl a perfume ball with the keeper standing upto the stumps!! Dire stuff from Kemp.

 

[PY]

Haha did anyone hear Neil Manthorp ask whether this was the first time a ODI had been played with 13 South Africans on the pitch?

 

[GIMH]

Australia are better supported at home, but then
that's because their grounds are bigger

 

[simmy]

Yeah you have a point but Eng could prob sell Lords out 3 times over against a competitive opposition.

 

[PY]

Not sure we're the best supported side at home mate. In fact, I'd go as far to say we're third. India, Australia and us I would think are most supported.
