cannot wait to see the final but scarlet i hope you're watching pakistan versus australia!
goodness me how do pakistan do this every single tournament? look useless in the group, scrape through then knock out the favourites and dare i say it win it?
hope not as i would love to see england win a world final, as the footballers will not doubt disappoint as usual!

yeah I've got TMS on as we speak! If I'm honest I think we're capable of beating either team - Morgan and KP and Colly all have it with the bat and Broady, Bres and Swann can do ti with the ball

that is one of the best games of cricket i have ever seen! who can fault twenty20 its glorious...
so england vs australia and to quote superman "the never-ending battle...."
cannot wait, bit scared though as the aussies just dont know when they are beaten!
and yes TMS is the choice of kings!!
Just...
Wow
ok England v Aus it is then

i'd like a fellow cricket lovers opinion on this scarlet. is it just me or are the aussies HUUUUGE? gym much?
there are some man mountains there its no wonder they clear those ropes.....
That Aus-Pakistan has to be one of the best 20/20 games recently.
I hope England can manage to pull it off, but those Aussies, look downright tough to beat.

Well maybe but at one stage England had the tallest team. If you look at Bell, he's 5'11" and looks dwarfed by his team mates... and look at the size of Graeme Smith from SA...

Gibbs(Australia) had a good few catches the other day, can't remember the match - I think it was Pakistan.
My money is on Australia, I feel they have a bit of momentum with them at the moment.

Well given Hussey's excellent finish yesterday you'd think... but England have been excellent too... Whatever the result if the weather holds up we should be into an excellent final!

and yeah going along with some of the other guys on here i've got to say the aussies look like the team. maybe thats just the usual english negativity though!
we have played some brilliant cricket and perhaps i think we have the better bowling attack (more control, variation etc) then the aussies. clarke bowled himself when it all looked a bit wonky yesterday! but they surely have a better batting line up its awful close though!
can't wait for the final good luck england!
Quote:
Aus have the traditional consistency... but they are inconsistent against us in recent years... they can dominate, as they did in '06 down under or the ODI series last Summer but then we do mad stuff like take snatching a draw from a guaranteed loss and then come back to demolish them next test and take the series... (Cardiff and Lords.) |

This England team has more mettle than we had under Fletcher and Hussain/Vaughan. There's some resilience. Fletcher is going to be recognised as a man who rescued England cricket... Flower's building on that.
If I was a betting man, I'd put £2 on Oz and £1 on England... just in case

England look really up for it and confident and their T20 record vs the Aussies is good (remember the T20 match in the Ashes series in 2005?) Aus look very strong too the only side unbeaten in the tournament so far - but KP's in form and England have arguably had the tougher competition - Sri Lanka and the Saffers are big teams. Bring it on! |
Darnit.
What sort of bat do they use for this "football " i have heard of?
Seriously i find it a boring game to watch and when you see people being insulting /even being violent because they cannot agree which bunch of grown men kicking a bag of air about is better.......
/e runs for the hills before the mad footie fans start flaming

agree wholeheartedly with all of the above. they are just so dangerous our old enemy im looking at this thinking this is not bad but with 2 overs to go who knows what the aussies might end up with!|

come on!!
and if you want some english glory this summer footy fans this is quite literally your only chance! our footballers will achieve nothing, as per.
my goodness we are good in the field! i've never seen england as consistent as this in so many departments.
really hope this translates into similar skill in the test arena
148 to win! Amazing!
Let's hope England do what they are capable of wtih the bat! That's not a big score and only 7.35 an over.
Cyberknight... I urge you in all seriousness to check out T20 if you've not done so. It's like cricket on amphetamines and is very entertaining!
