Cricket

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

johnson is like some sort of big horrible bogeyman

i think we will be saying that all summer

that was my implication yes

he scares me

this is a terrific 50 by Dilshan, good cricket shots and not just slogging.

the shot to get his 50 was cheeky in the extreme

he is a fine gentleman

This game isnt over yet now with that wicket. Run rates slowed now dilshan is gone.
Another wicket or 2 and the aussies will prob win as the sri lankan tail isnt as long as the aussies.

another one goes. Sri Lanka struggling with spin now

Aussies have a good chance now.

wow 2 sixes in 2 balls. that changes everything

Aussies need a wicket or 2 quick now

Aussies getting desperate now claiming a catch that the batsmen never got near touching.

and a wicket. this is gonna be very close

need a few boundaries or the aussies are gonna win

and a six off the last ball of lee's over! 3 overs left

you're really living this, aren'tcha :D

24 to win off 18 balls

its more fun than watching england getting horsed

always better to see the aussies crying. fingers crossed.

2 weeks in Leicester for Ponting & co

poor leicester

Im not looking forwarded to a properly motivated Chris Gayle knocking englands bowlers all around the ground.

ok how is that not a wide

this isn't over btw

AND A HUGE SIX

ok it is now

IT IS NOW

and a wide

wheels coming off

6 needed from 9 balls

field has to come in so one over the top shot and its a boundary and all over

text commentary t/s: ilx vs bbc vs cricinfo

and there it goes

Im not looking forwarded to a properly motivated Chris Gayle knocking englands bowlers all around the ground.

anderson will have him...

but i'm not sure it's a forgone conclusion which group england will get into. still depends on the pak v ned game. bbc sport doesn't have england lined up yet for any particular super 8 games.

hahahah look at pontings face there

xp Deffo not the BBC

Nice to see the SL players grinning on the bench...

need a gif of Ponting there

6 wickets in 6 balls and the aussies win..

haha a wide

what a way to go out

:D

wide to finish it. lovely

no doubt they will say its better preparation for the ashes just like England were preparing the same statement after the Holland defeat

need a gif of Ponting there

and a recording of his post-match interview.

"look mate...."

WI, SA, India, England. Good luck England!

need a gif of Ponting there

need a gif request thread

Group E
India
England
West Indies
South Africa

England will not get anywhere near getting out of that.
SA first then India the WI last game

still no guarantee england wins their group
