GROUP B - Australia, England, Zimbabwe

[The_Bunny]

Not too fussed about these wickets, gives everyone a bat - England should win this easily.

The RR does matter a bit though, should Aus beat England by a decent amount (if they beat them at all) then England could go out if they dont thrash Zimbabwe a little bit.

fielding is one thing that Zimbabwe have let themselves down on recently, they really look to have improved that over especially during this tournament. When a side fields well that usually filters into other departments of their games (Geez...I'm starting to sound like Ian Chappel l). There's a lot of promise in this Zimbabwean side.

Cue 3 dropped catches .....

England not finishing as well as they should be, average shot by Shah there. And there goes Mascarenhas.

Favorite shot = Slog over cow corner

Australia would have to beat England by around twice the margin England beat Zimbabwe by to knock England out.

I know, given the score I cant see that happening..
Just pointing out that it does matter and a close result may not be enough for England.

Hmm, interesting this! England should do it, but with Donna commentating who knows?

I'll have to take your word for it. cricinfo are so slow they might as well still be broadcasting the India series.

EDIT
They're uptodate now -- & Zim are murdering us, ffs.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Absolutely pathetic bowling so far.

 

[Dubilog]

I'm torn. I want England to win, and for Zimbabwe not to score too many boundaries.

But each time they do we see them dancing girls...

Speaking of which, is anyone else listening to this on the radio and feeling vaguely sick about Boycott perving over them? He can't stop talking about them. Dirty old man...

 

[Shaggy Alfresco]

What a legend Flintoff, only one from that over.

 

[Scaly piscine]

One good over and back to bowling a heap of tripe.

Let him enjoy the sights and sounds of the world man, he won't be able do anything else though.

Great batting from Vusi... the man is a genius. And Brendan, when he's in touch he can do anything.
