CT 2009 | Semi Final 1| 2/10/09| Australia V England | Centurion

[Afridi_Fan]

Whats wioth this Watson guy?

Every time the ball goes passs the edge he groans.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

86/3 after Powerplays.

 

[don1990]

single to end the over....

 

[don1990]

7 runs comes in last over...

 

[don1990]

England have maintained a healthy run-rate, but it has dipped since Collingwood's departure. Denly, though, has settled in fine and here's his chance to get something substantial. No demons in the pitch, just the extra bounce, so they can bank on these two, and Wright still to come.

 

[the true passionist]

Morgan might be England's last hope to see them through. They need at least 275 to challenge AUS on this pitch with their attack.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Just short of M. Hussey at point.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Bees invading the run-out camera.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

 

[Afridi_Fan]

England dressing room is looking pansive

 

[Afridi_Fan]

91/3 after 16 overs.

 

[Awesome Anjum]

Ravi Shastri is still crying after India's exit. He was suppose to have gone back but they didn't let him on the flight because his tears were a safety hazard.

Did anyone catch his comments about being polite to Pakistani umpires?

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Did anyone catch his comments about being polite to Pakistani umpires?

I did, as Chappel said that Shastri thought that he will get right decisions anywhere else. He said he didnt say that but Ian got what he meant by that.

It really is hurting the Indians big times.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Maiden Over by Watson.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

91/3 after 17 overs.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Yup. he said one or two good things about AD..

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Siddle comes back.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Denly Gone.

 

[IAJ]

Denly and Morgan should look for century-stand together, even if it takes 25 overs, and then play their shots. England need to get to 280+

 

[Seen Sheen]

Gone Denly..eng now in deep deep trouble!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Third time Paine inflicts Pain on England.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Davus come in on debut.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Davis starts with 3.

 

[IAJ]

Lols, Denly is out.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Inside edge for Morgan takes a single.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

97/4 after 18 overs.

 

[IAJ]

Is Morgan Englands version of our Misbah or? either just blocking or trying to hit every ball. He is in blocking mood today it seems.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Dropped by Hopeless

 

[Afridi_Fan]

100 up

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Inside edge Bowled.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Australia galloping towards Monday's final.

 

[NorthStar]

Ooops Twatson cleans up Davis ... 100-5

 

[Afridi_Fan]

L. Wright comes in.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

100/5 after 19 overs.

 

[NorthStar]

England have messed this up big time on a perfect batting pitch.

 

[IAJ]

Half the side well back in the pavilion.
England tried to be agressive today (strauss, colly and denly) but in the end, not a good result. They need to somehow get to 200 here and then bowl like Pakistan the other day.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

101/5 after 20 overs.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

So aus I reckon in the final. 280 is min on this pitch.

I fancy revenge for '99.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Another one bites the dust

 

[NorthStar]

Damn another one gone ... Morgan caught behind.

 

[bluffmasterv2]

another one England falling like flies

 

[Afridi_Fan]

T. Bresnen comes on.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Eng been mentally disturbed by that series.

 

[bluffmasterv2]

So aus I reckon in the final. 280 is min on this pitch.

I fancy revenge for '99.

Lets beat Nz first =)

 

[NorthStar]

Oz juggernaut trampling England!!

 

[GLORY OF '92]

yeah that was a cheap shot by shastri.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Aussies on top here and set for another final.

They continually prove why they are such a top side!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Lets beat Nz first =)

Ye, thats right.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

 

[Afridi_Fan]

105/6 after 21 overs.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Why not take the batting PP and just try to blast your way out?

 

[GLORY OF '92]

NZ are our whipping boys. Only chance they have of winnng is if it's a terrible pitch and they bowl amazing. Only got 2-3 good batsmen. YK is due and also afridi. It's our destiny to win this inshallah.

Have some faith.

 

[snow_leopard_pk]
