Semi Finals/Final - Australia, Sri Lanka, England and Pakistan

[silentstriker]

clarke out bowled swanneh caught short-midwicket imo.

lol wtf?

 

[BoyBrumby]

Obviously isn't going to make too many fans, but it's not the worst innings of all time given Australia lost 3 wickets in the first couple of overs. Better than Hussey so far anyway...

Needless to say, Australia in the ****. Need 100 or so off the last 10 to have a chance.

Needed to go on, IMHO.

Some catch tho, it must be said.

 

[Burgey]

Honestly, promised someone I'd barrack for England here as a giggle but I just feel dirty and cheap.

You can all **** off. We'll make 120-140 and romp it.

 

[Nate]

Would have been worse for England if Dussey got out.

Really? Definately has the ability to go on with it.

Why would England need to make that many to romp it?

Yeah this was the rare TT situation where Clarke's batting style was of some use. A run a ball is OK if you find yourself at 8/3.

 

[King Pietersen]

Normally that'd be the case, but he's looked awful today. Can't find any timing at all and is crawling along with a strike rate in the mid 50's.

 

[Nate]

Australia without a boundary since BC.

Yes it is, because he ran out Warner too. One of those wickets was his fault, and he did his best to run out Haddin as well.

 

[Jarquis]

Boooo

 

[King Pietersen]

Bugger. There's some timing for Dussey. Yardy hit into the stands, bowled far too short today.

 

[GIMH]

wow, a six, assumed we weren't playing them today

 

[Jarquis]

Australia without a boundary since BC.

Stop that now.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Had to come, tbf. Yardy drops wee bit short and bam.

 

[King Pietersen]

Poor bowling from Yardy. Trying to bowl it too quick. Full toss despatched down the ground for 4.

Next ball goes for 6. Can we have Clarke back in please?

 

[BoyBrumby]

Get 'im off! FFS. 17 off first 5 balls.

EDIT: & 21 off the over. Dire.

 

[Jono]

WILL THE REAL AUSTRALIAN T20 CAPTAIN PLEASE STAND UP!

Carn Whitey.

Better than Clarkey in so many ways.

 

[Jarquis]

White was 9/1 to top score in this innings before the start of the innings IIRC.

Marcuss says (17:16):
Yardy's such a bitch to get away
Marcuss says (17:23):
Lies

 

[four_or_six]

Somehow we need to deal with White and Mussey.

Good job they didn't come in with a platform, though.

 

[Jono]

I specifically laughed when Manjrekar said that the match is tantalising because England have no weak link in their bowling lineup.

Do not rate Yardy, and he's showing me why.
