[Howe_zat]

I hope the crims put up a bit more of a fight in the Ashes

don't bloody start that

Australia will win this by 60 or six wickets.

Australia doesn’t lose WC semi finals mate. It just isn’t a done thing. Look it up.

Oh Burgey. Wish you could be here to see this.

Vicrim Solanki a chance for a recall?

So refreshing to find that this WC is going to have a first time winner. Last time this happened was SL in 1996.

Lol i just discovered what it was today...its basketball without the backboard. And Sky has an entire channel dedicated to it. I was referring to MLB, NBA, NFL and ofcourse Football.

No NHL

I once watched a South Africa vs Australia ice hocky game, very entertaining

5-2 is the only tally I care for. 5 world Cups for Aus and 2 for India. Plus we have an Ashes win coming up. India have NEVER EVER won the Ashes.

It really is there first semi they'll lose isn't it?

 

[Groundking]

Can we let Burgey back for the afternoon please?

Not so much....my Washington Capitals won the Stanley Cup in 2018 and my Raptors just won the NBA title so my Sporting fan ambitions are complete. I don't have enough bandwith for the NHL other than the playoffs.

Yes and No. England have an Aussie coach and play like us so its us going into the finals.

England's win percentage in ICC tournament finals is rather poor

They have just one won one final out of 8 final appearances in ICC tournaments

Off the of my head

ODI WC '75, '79, '87, '92

T20 WC 2016

CT 2004, 2013

That is a lot of finals lost

After reviewing a lot of my posts, I have realized that the trauma of this game has made me sound like a traumatized Bollywood mother who has lost both her sons to an evil Dacoit or Village Sarpanch and I still claim that they will return. Will they? Only an Ashes win can save me.

I really wish cricket wcs also had a 3rd place play off.

Sweet Caroline has to be the most inappropriate song to play at a sporting event. It is literally a song sung by an old man talking about touching an underage girl. Disgusting.

I think you are the first person to ever say that.

Are you Virat Kohli in disguise? Having said that Wrongun brings up his 400th post. What an innings it has been!

Based on what's happening here we could carry half a dozen passengers and still win

Back before Sky went digital they used to show unfiltered Germany telly channels. I once saw the US v. Germany and, it being a German language channel, didn't bother to filter the US subs on the bench.

One of the more impressive sustained displays of f-bombs and mf-bombs I've ever heard.

And it's because I'm so confident now I can happily recall mindless shite like that.

 

[BeeGee]

Total thrashing, this. Bit embarrassing for Aus.

Don't worry England, you'll get stiffer opposition in the final.
