2nd Semi Final - Australia v England

[Neil Young]

Well done England, now go and win the final to lift the cup.

Erm...hello?

 

[OverratedSanity]

I'm feeling pretty emotional. This will be the first world cup final I'll watch live. I don't know how to deal with England being in one.

Good stuff. There's honestly nothing like watching a wc knockout match live. I've attended many great tests but being there to see India beat Australia in the 2011 QF is up there with anything else I've experienced.

Should cherish it no matter who wins.

Give over mate . We play way better than your lot now . England's style is custombuilt and draws a lot of inspiration from the South Africa, Aussie and New Zealand sides of the recent past . It's also built around the fact that we don't naturally produce a great deal of spin or pace bowlers recently and the Kookaburra don't suit our naturally occuring talents well . So we spent most this century always playing second fiddle to these great sides full of lusty batsmen and crafty Kookaburra bowlers .

Not any-****ing-more .Win or lose , England has found a way to compete at the top level. It aint that long ago 300 seemed improbable to us .

And players too But all jokes aside, congratulations on making the finals. Go and lose to the Kiwis now.

Also, Australia has done a favour to the Poms. All the poverty striken Brits now get to watch free cricket.

Congrats ENG . Winning 3 knockout matches in a row is tremendous achievement .

The sort of match where everything falls into place perfectly, well played England.

I'd rather have NZ as the winners on Sunday but don't particularly mind England either, hoping for a cracker.

 

[trundler]

Pakistan may not have deserved NZ's spot but they definitely deserved Australia's

Weak performance from a weak team from a weak country.

Just looked mentally shot. No will to grind it out. At least make it competitive.

 

[Spintolose]

Haha. Woaksey lad knows 1992 was ancient history.

 

[silentstriker]

And here I thought Australianism would pull through.

honestly I blame the food.

Maybe the weather too. They're too used to all that sunshine, a little bit of rain and their spirits were broken. Couldn't handle some grey skies and a bit of gloom. Just too weak mentally tbh. Burgey showed us this by getting himself banned before the KO stages. Was just a sign of things to come.

Nice. How did you get the tickets. I applied in the ballot but didn’t get it.

 

[Arachnodouche]

Where does this stand in the hall of boring knockouts, excluding finals?

 

[sledger]

It's coming home...

It's coming home

It's coming

Haha oh baby, ****ing right it is!

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Erm...hello?

I have a dual nationality; Pakistani and British.

 

[Spintolose]

Congrats ENG . Winning 3 knockout matches in a row is tremendous achievement .

With all this history flying about, I wonder, are England the first team to win 3 consecutive semi-final games?

Gotta lotta bottle!

Facilitating a free finals for poor children on TV in an economically weak country is God's work. Justin Langer is a deeply devout man so I see what he's done here.

 

[harsh.ag]

What a jip, Burgey gets to pretend like this never happened.

What else can you expect from a team that spent 4 years being crushed and then got into the semis on a fluke?

Burgey had clearly read the writing on the wall

 

[Neil Young]

Finch speaks well. Some really good captains in this Cup.

Nah don't ruin this beautiful moment with that overused food gag ****
