"Just like Pakistan in 1992, we've got to be hot favourites now."

Swann, WAFG.

 

[Sam Handwich]

God ****ing damn it.

hearing the English players scream in appeal is like putting screw drivers through my ears

As opposed to the dulcet tones of the Aussies. I can only agree.

You know? I live in a city that's been shaken by earthquakes every day for the last week, there's a nuclear power plant down the road that seems to be in meltdown... and nothing is more stressful than supporting England...

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

****ing England, ruining my bets.

Harsh on Bangladesh too, they have to beat South Africa to make it through

Have to give credit to Swann though, like someone else in the thread said, shades of Warne from the '96 and '99 WCs. Great last over with the game on the line.

It's funny what's considered a choke these days. Because there's a very good argument that West Indies shouldn't have gotten that close. I don't think either team choked. One team just wanted it more.

 

[BeeGee]

Congrats to England! What an epic game.
This WC is a lot more exciting with England in it.

Mushtaq has obviously been telling the team stories of 1992.I'm just curious,if Pakistan and England face off in the tournament and a reporter comes up to ask Mushtaq who he's rooting for.What does he say?

 

[Daemon]

Wright to make a 50 and Tredwell to pick up a matchwinning 4-fer. Make the selectors look like geniuses

holy **** I'm such a ****ing genius

Perhaps, but your tailenders definitely lost their head at the end. May not have mattered, and its not really their job, but still.

I know, the most over-used word in CW, even worse then the dire dire days.

He quite obviously roots for England.

Wright didn't make a 50??? Not far off though mate.

What's Russell then?

 

[NasserFan207]

Thomas batted above Sarwan because he was in the washroom.

Has anyone used the choke word in this thread?

Bowling allrounder.
