^ Don't know man, even if it was raining how good is the pitch it self for Asif. Not a huge swing bowler he needs juice on the pitch for nipping the ball....

Toss is being delayed by rain

What happens if this match is called off due to rain?


Edit: Apparently in the case of a NR, Australia would go through to the final.

Australia have bowled out their opposition in each of their games so far. Sheesh.

Starting in 15 minutes by the looks. Really keen to see a full game. Surely there's something in it due to the rain for Clarke to win and put Afridi's boys in.

Pakistani TV being so annoying right now. Geo actually had an astrologer on for the match.

I can imagine English people picking up a newspaper and seeing the headline "England into cricket world cup final" and being excited. And then of course they find out a little bit more information that this "world cup" is held every couple of months and is soon forgotten pretty much by everyone. Now that India is out the BCCI has already forgotten this "world cup" and is probably dreaming up new "world cup" style tournaments they cram in the next few weeks.

Shame. Could have been a real shot in the arm for English cricket.

Well, frequency of the tournament notwithstanding, England's success in reaching our first global final since 2004 (stunned to find the CT we lost to the Windies was that long ago, seems like yesterday, tempus fugit and all that) has relegated the FA Cup and World Cup build ups off The Guardian's back page (well, front page of sports pull out, technically).

The arm's had a small shot at any rate.

I am not even watching it on Geo. Watching Super Sports....almost not a single adv. other then soccer and F1. Very good channel.

Was amazed about the number of people that I've heard talking about the T20 in school over the last week. Has definitely had an impact.
