    That runout attempt was a lot closer than the commentators made out. With less than 50 to get, you'd have to feel England are gonna make this. Funny to think that in the end, the Kiwis actually only won two games out here, and England are on the threshold of only needing one more win to take...

    Hogg has been a bit unlucky, with Flintoff obviously unable to pick his wrong 'un, but he's bowled a fair bit of tripe too, IMO.

    The Aussies can still pull this one out of the bag - I have my suspicions about England's capacity to meet this rising RR without losing their heads. Australia looking a little bit shaky ATM though.

    Yes, actually. The alternative is Arjuna Ranatunga. :ph34r:

    Lee gets through Bell! Just when England were starting to look like favorites. Great bowling.

    Jeez, I have a feeling I made a stupid avatar bet revolving around England's performance in these finals - I hope it was about England winning the whole shebang and not just winning one of the matches.

    Heh, TBF that style did have a bit of a revival in the early 90's - and it's not anywhere near as bad as McGrath's early days bowl job. Anyhow, Bell and Collingwood successfully milking the slow bowlers up to this stage. And Bell gets his 50 now, too.

    Well, in a way I find it hard to believe that somebody would mock such a thing, so I'm inclined to believe him - what I'd like him to do though is explain what he did mean by the gesture. I mean, WTF was that actual point of it? His explanation seems nonsensical. Anyway, even assuming that he...

    Some of the lack of heart and timidity shown by English players during this tour has been a bit disappointing at times. But, although he's hardly set the world on fire, I haven't really felt that Bell's been wanting in that area. His natural game seems to be to grind things out at the...

    Settle down, mate. Sorry for the abruptness, but the rolleyes was probably brought about by me being a little bit impatient with your occasional habit of responding to my posts without actually reading them properly.

    Good call Craig. 8-) But "don't expect them to win" and "can't win" are two different things. Mind you, I'm shifting pretty quickly towards the "can't win" camp as we speak.

    Wow, the Poms could actually win this, though I don't expect them to. Their bowlers (and fielders) have certainly given the bats a very decent chance. Thought we'd be up for 300+ for sure at 1/70 in the 30th - I'd have thought 270-280 would be par in the conditions. I think Harper might be a...

    CA bans the Mexican wave

    WRT the Mexican wave, I have some sympathy with the decision, people just use it as an excuse to pelt people with crap. Some may have touched on this, but while group activities and chants etc can be a lot of fun, the wave is pretty bloody boring when it's the seventh time that night and the...

    Anything can happen if you make those finals. England can obviously make them with three victories - did the Aussies have any more than that when we robbed the Saffies in '98? Anyhow, should the Poms somehow manage to win this tourney, I'll have Arjuna Ranatunga as my avatar for six months.

    You're right on both counts - England didn't win a single ODI against Australia on either tour, but as you said, won the last test (was it Sydney?) in '02/03. I didn't remember how truly awful '90/91 was.
