Perhaps I should have kept that to myself, on reflection.

by doctorspin Sun 07 Oct 2007, 17:43

3 wickets for 13 runs in the last few overs.

Close match or not, international cricket really shouldn't be played on pitches like this. It just shows off all the worst things about the 50-over game.

by Brass Monkey Sun 07 Oct 2007, 18:17

Think it's been a tight game. They're always mildly more interesting, even if there's no expansive shots being played.

by Brass Monkey Sun 07 Oct 2007, 18:22

Gutted. Gated. The legend is out. 17 off 34. Sheeit.

Almost won the match for England single-handed. Will be interesting now. I still don't see how England could mess this up to this extent.

SiBO....cover drive....3.....LEGEND!

by doremi Sun 07 Oct 2007, 18:35

10 off 20.

Blessing in disguise, Malinga bowling this over.

by doctorspin Sun 07 Oct 2007, 18:37

Getting tight this isn't it.

by doremi Sun 07 Oct 2007, 18:40

7 off 11.

by doremi Sun 07 Oct 2007, 18:42

Malinga should be a lot easier to hit than any of the other bowlers. England should look to get runs off his over.

6 off 9.

by Merlin Sun 07 Oct 2007, 18:42

Nail biting ....... 4 from Broad ... 2 to go

by doremi Sun 07 Oct 2007, 18:43

Called it. Broad hits him for a four.

2 off 8 balls.

by doctorspin Sun 07 Oct 2007, 18:43

BROAD.....4........LEGEND!!!!!!

2 to win now!

by Merlin Sun 07 Oct 2007, 18:44

Great game ...... so why the 3rd umpire after they ran 2 ??

by doremi Sun 07 Oct 2007, 18:45

WTF happened there?

Anyways, didn't SL score 164 as well?

by LeFromage Sun 07 Oct 2007, 18:46

What a shambles at the end - typical bloody cricket...

by Rachel Sun 07 Oct 2007, 18:46

I think Mr. Koertzen might not have such a good grasp of D/L - remember the WC Final?

by doremi Sun 07 Oct 2007, 18:47

Yes they did. Huh? Isn't this a tie? What am I missing?

D/L reduced the target by 1 run. You seem to have as good a grasp of D/L as Rudi!! Smile

by LeFromage Sun 07 Oct 2007, 18:49

Pretty inept run-chase from England, but they got there in the end thanks to Swanny, Broady and Rybot.

They've got to address the top four, though. They can't keep trying to win games from 60-4.

Bowling's shaping up all right, mind.

Aye 4 down inside the powerplays AGAIN.

When was the last time we opened with a 50 partnership?

by Guest Sun 07 Oct 2007, 18:51

Gosh, the amount of cigarettes I would've smoked then.
