[DonJee]

GIVE Auss the trophy.....it makes no sense playing

It'll all be clear very soon........hold your horses!!

 

[12thMan]

Looks like pahlay aap pahlay aap going on between the batsmen or I see some conflict. No one wants to get the last run. Match fixing or some betting going on? Watch Star News and get the answers

 

[iHammad]

Aus win by 9 wickets!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

WAH!...Watson toh chah gaya hai!

Congrats Aussies!..although I wanted a last ball six from Watson.

I'm disappointed too.

 

[don1990]

Ponting and Watson make light work of this target.

My dad said the exact same thing!

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

AUSS AWESOME ATTACKERSAUSS AVENGERS

 

[don1990]

Perhaps another 70 runs would have been safe

 

[don1990]

It just shows how an in-form Ponting makes such a difference to Australia's fortunes.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

Perhaps another 70 runs would have been safe

HARDLY LIKELY

 

[Momo]

One of the most boring matches in cricket's history. The second semi-final will offer a lot more drama I suppose.

 

[don1990]

now .... whos the man of the match????????

 

[truth]

Aussies middle order is still to fire and has not been exposed much becoz Ponting is getting the score good ............ In the final if the opponents get Ponting out early on they have a very good chance to lift the cup ........

 

[truth]

MOM shud be Lucky Watson his runs and wkts ..............

 

[ace_allrounder]

Yaar,yeh England har waqt Australia ke samne sarr kyun jaata hai?

 

[don1990]

So the defending champions progress to their second consecutive final.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Maza nahi aaya yaar.

 

[<< Rashid >>]

Good news, if Pakistan gets to the final, Ponting is due to fail....

 

[Nazir_ Rules]

Pakistan Zindabaad!

[Inswinging Yorker]

aus peaking at the right moment

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

Good news, if Pakistan gets to the final, Ponting is due to fail....

retarded statement of the day )

 

[PapaBear]

Good news, if Pakistan gets to the final, Ponting is due to fail....

Once he fails others didn't get a practice and get to bat today, so they will fail too.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Did you find it out in the last twenty minutes?

Chalo yaar hum normal hi sahi.

cant even curse WAPDA now...!

 

[Nazir_ Rules]

England can never win a champions trophy, indians and south africans should be pissed right now, as they could think of been in this place! lol!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

aus peaking at the right moment

Ye right.

 

[don1990]

Strauss: When you lose 6 for 100 runs it's always difficult to get back but Bresnan and Wright did well. Our shots didn't come off today. We can take a lot from this tournament but Australia outplayed us today. They've got a good mix. It was disappointing to lose Broad but Bresnan did magnificently with the bat."

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

Ye right.

well watson failed in the first 2 games.......look at that innings....

and the bowling...too much for any team playing in d finals

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

ponting saying watson peakin at d right time

 

[don1990]

watson man of tthe match.....

 

[Seen Sheen]

One of the most boring matches in cricket's history. The second semi-final will offer a lot more drama I suppose.

I am sure, you would be regretting ur decisions ,first to toss the coin up n then to use that kind of coin..

 

[don1990]

Ponting: I thought we got a little carried away in the middle overs, looking for wickets but the England pair did really well. There's a lot of energy in this group, we're in the final so well done everybody. I told the boys that every ball we face is a contest. Personal stats don't always motivate me, I look to finish the job for my team. Watson's peaking at the right time. His spell to the left-handers was terrific."

 

[PapaBear]

Ye right.

Australia peaking at the wrong moment, its downhill from here......

 

[Momo]

I am sure, you would be regretting ur decisions ,first to toss the coin up n then to use that kind of coin..

Well one learns every day.

Plus a document that I was working on is all but complete. So all is not lost.

 

[don1990]

Watson is the Man of the Match: "It (my form) couldn't get much worse at the start of the tournament. Ricky spoke to me a lot through the innings. Hopefully the injuries are behind me now. It was a beautiful wicket out there. It is time for me and others to put out hands up for this team after losing a lot of senior guys."

 

[don1990]

Ponting and Watson crush England ....... the heading on cricinfo...

 

[don1990]

can australia be stopped at final??/////???

 

[sali]

Aus middle order did not get to bat again. They haven't been tested today. Good for Pakistan. Ponting, Watson and Hussy are the key but the pitch is too flat. I hope it starts turning.

Pak will regred not tieing the match against Aus and play At Cenurion. It will be tough going against NZ at Wanderers. Aus also get two days rest/preparation for the final.

Good luck Pak tomorrow.

 

[Nazir_ Rules]

can australia be stopped at final??/////???

Inshallah they will be stoped!

Ponting, here come Younis Khan and his men (Army)!
