Yet another gift
Lovely team, England.

 

[Perm]

Far out England, doing your best to appear as if you don't care

Four wickets for 35. I don't see us doing it now. If we only wanted 60 or 70, maybe, but it looks too far away.

well last hope, nixon and pietersen...just hoping to have a close game....would it have been better if they had bopara lower down the oder? than they could have more of a hope in the end? can nixon and pietersen do what nixon and bopara did against sri lanka? probably not but still have hope...

 

[Perm]

50 for Pietersen, good knock.

It's an utter joke isn't it. It's at the point where it'd be a big surprise if this shower *didn't* lose 4 wickets for sweet FA around the 30-35 over mark.

Never mind England carrying the likes of Vaughan, KP carries England.

Once again KP is left with the responsibility of scoring all of England's runs.

Ah the cynical pessism that we have come to expect from English fans.

Pietersen going for a ton, currently on 74*. Please don't let me jinx him. He has also just brought up 2000 runs, the equal fastest person to do this in terms of innings, equal with Zaheer Abbas on 45.

KP you beauty, if he gets a ton, does that mean Smith has to keep his Man United avatar for another month?

 

[PhoenixFire]

Pietersen is the joint 1st fastest player to 2000 ODI runs.

I sure hope so.

68 needed off just 46 balls. If they have a couple of overs that go for 15-20 then I'd be getting confident.

Pietersen on 79.

Yes I am on Cricinfo live commentary, because my parents are too stingy to get Sky Sports. Happy?

 

[LA ICE-E]

well this is wrong and sorry to the english fans but i really hope england gets really close to the target and then losein a thriller just for the sake of lara...his team mate already ruined his last innings, hope his last game doesn't get ruined.

 

[Perm]

50 partnership up between Pietersen and Nixon in just 43 balls.

Good to hear some Bob Marley cranking out over the stadium.

It wasn't that kind of idiocy-lambasting rolleyes.

 

[Majin]

Fantastic knock so far by KP but...wish he'd bugger off now.

It's not really wrong, it's not like you want to see England lose just beacuse they are England. Myself, I want to see a thriller of a finish, Pietersen to notch up a ton and Lara to have some sort of involvement in the end to secure a West Indies victory.

This is do-able, plunkers to come next, and even though I think he's a tragedy of a bowler (I think his economy-rate is now worse then saj, truly the "battle of the ****e), he can bat,
