Cricket

this fielding is appalling, i dread to think what englands will be like.

gul great bowling

one down, nine to go

broad 2 in 2...

this is crunch time, afridi can win it all on his own or england get him out cheap. But they gotta get him quickly.

aww man how did that not go to a fielder, afridi escapes

and again

not wanting to tempt fate (england fan, goes with the territory) but this is looking quite good...

mind you at this run rate it would need to be one of the best innings of all time
xpost

the Holland vs Pakistan game might be a cracker if the Dutch can play as well as they did against England.

england have obliged in the past...

AFRIDI OUT!

afridi "been swinging like a rusty gate"

he really did look out of form though, im shocked by that innings

agreed. his bowling had me worried though, good variation, seemed to pin england back.

i think pakistan assumed they would beat netherlands hence the two young players in their team. if i weren't english i'd be pissed off with their selection and play

england got the selection wrong against the dutch too.

argh now bopara drops a dolly

shocking

But i think it's safe to say that no-one in this group is going to win the cup.

That bopara drop really is the worst I've ever seen.

Believe... ;-)

xp

bopara was looking at the screen

I can't believe how bad Pakistan have been.

Pakistan have always been a knocked out on the 1st round or get to the finals team. Bizarre for a country with so many talented players. But typical of them. Must be frustrating for Pakistan fans.

and England qualify due to the horsing they gave Pakistan

Ireland claim another Test scalp, can't we just give 'em Morgan and Joyce back and let 'em play a Test series against Bangladesh?

Was beginning to look like the Aussies were gonna blow Sri Lanka away but that was a brilliant over by mendes and ponting bamboozled by spin and clean bowled with only 1 run off it I think.

like holding's over to boycott amirite

and he's done it again

It's not even turning much. Haddin looks very comfortable against spin but ponting and watson didnt.

nearly a run out there

that was a belter of a slow ball there by Malinga

:D

david hussey assault waiting to happen tho

Sri Lanka seem to have the best bowling attack in this tourney so far but batting not as good as India or SA.

Gayle vs Sri Lanka could be a really good contest later

wow what a catch

79-5 after 12.2

now its your fave set of brothers at the crease louis

Thats a wonderful 6

and thats out

Mendis really is quality

David Hussey's favourite player is Mike Hussey. Mike Hussey's favourite player? Allan Border.

lolz

yeah i laughed when it came up

just sat there watching and expected him to return the favour and then he says Border and i burst out laughing

ok that was a huge six

mitchell johnson going mental

These 2 might get them to a decent total if they keep going like that

SL kinda letting it slip a bit

yeah some real big hitting has got the Aussies back in this with a respectable and competitive score considering where they were.
