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

[Jayzamann]

Pietersen's ended the last 2 overs beautifully. Love that shot off Smith.

Commentators rag on about getting a boundary off the first ball of the over. But who needs to do that when you can get it off the last, eh?

 

[Jono]

England not running hard enough here. Come back to bite them?

 

[Jono]

Dussey that is awful.

 

[chalky]

Aussie fielding brilliant saved 4 runs in the last over alone.

edit: Duss dives over 1

I enjoy Chappell's commentary during 20/20 games, because he fulfils my overwhelming urge to complain constantly about everything that is happening in the game. Plus I just find his broken record whining about irrelevant issues like Mankad hilarious.

Anyway, England well on top here. Should really cruise this.

His insight as a former skipper is fantastic...and he is not afraid to speak his mind...very refreshing!

Re the mankad issue, he does go on but I agree with him. The new rule provides a licence to cheat.

Batsmen's eyes must light up when Watson comes on after Nannes, Tait n Mitch.

Look like little naked dobbers by comparison.

EDIT: & were played like it too.

 

[Jarquis]

Starting to believe... am nervous.

 

[Jayzamann]

Watson anguish,

I wonder what's up with Watto, he's usually a lot better than he has been this tournament.

 

[King Pietersen]

Hopefully Kieswetter'll silence a few critics with his performance in this game. Got lucky with the drop 2nd ball, but since then he's been excellent. The diving leg-side catch, and now he's playing superbly with the bat. Could do with rotating the strike a little more, but this has still been a very good innings thus far.

 

[Nate]

Watto has been pus this tournament.

 

[Jono]

Surely England wont choke.











Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurely

 

[Jono]

This Kieswetter needs to chill. The game is there to win. Don't need to slog everything.

Cool his skates KP.

Not an international wicket-keeper, but these last two innings have shown a lot more quality, no reason why he can't open with Davies TBH, in ODIs.

 

[Jayzamann]

Watto really lit it up in the Champions League final. Decidedly absent in the past few days, which is a real

 

[Jono]

Wtf is he doing.

Someone go send out a drink and tell him there's no need for this.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Any game but Eng v Oz and you'd call it.

But....

 

[shehanwije]

Watto has been pus this tournament.

Englands game to lose from here...Watson, Smith and 2nd string bowlers have to bowl 6 overs between them from the remaining 10.

But....

Or Aus-Pak, you have to say.

 

[Nate]

Yep, bowl Watto for another Clarke, great.
