Yeah, he was damn good, in between the massive hissy fits and [email]tw@ttish[/email] sledging.

and muntering lest we forget....and texting......and

Hurrah! We weren't farked after all.

Chappell - 'How the hell did Australia lose to Zimbabwe?'

Love it.

50 run win then, hurrah.

PMSL @ Schofield taking those wickets.

Now going to read back to the start of the Zimmers innings in this thread to see all the anticipated doom!

You forget the net run rate factor when we are farked by the Aussies

Well, they had me worried for the first 7 overs, then they fell apart once their batsman got out.

You won't be disappointed, it reached unscaleable heights

What, about a bit of rubbish hit and giggle laughs? of course not.

Aye, although it would have to be an absolute can of ass-whoop given the margin of victory today

Wouldn't put it past us mind.

Doomed!

So, if you guys beat Oz tomorrow were farked (not that I care), but if we beat you by over 50 runs, you guys are going home . . .

Indeed it did.

Never seen so many FFS, farked and unfarked's in all of forumming history

Schofield was actually less crap than I thought he would be. At least he gives it some loop, unlike a certain hopping Seikh.

If you beat us by over 50 in a 20/20 game, we'd deserve to...

So our NRR is +2.50  and Aussie's NRR is -0.108 and Zim's is -1.196

So how much can we lose to Oz and still go through and how much can Oz win by and still get knocked out?

Have to reserve judgement on Phillip until I've seen the higligs. If he's owt like I saw in the T20 this year... well, as I said, World Cricket In Crisis.

We'd need Allan D back on the forum to work that out!!

So if Aus beat Eng tomorrow and it's close, Aus & Eng will go through?

Like this one . . . http://content-eap.cricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/249227.html

I put Schofield back into my Fantasy team just yesterday (although it was a plan to beef up my batting rather than a gut feeling that he'd be a wicket-taking machine).

Interesting that my most points-scoring bowlers thus far are Vettori and Schofield.

T20: for sloggers and spinners.

Oh, and how many more times does Prior have to louse up opening before he gets shoved down to his rightful place at seven?

Ridiculous having Flintoff and Shah coming in at six and seven with two overs left, while county hackers like Prior and Wright occupy two and three.

Like this one . . .

In our favour?
No Lewis FFS.
No Dalrymple(what a tosser),
no Punessr(like for like almost though)
a better Flintoff,
no relying on Collingwood for 4 overs,
no Joyce(what an utter c**t),
no Vaughan,
no Bell.

Uhh, they are in and out merchants though. Both Shah and Flintoff looked more like 'face ball' merchants today. 20 off 12 is OK, all things considered. T'would be 200 if all did it. Not so bad.

Sounds like someone cares . . .

On a serious note, did you know that the winner of this tournament won't be World Champion? This is only a practice tournament and the first official World Champion will be the winner in the 2009 tournament in England . . . weird!
