What's new

England [224/2] beat Australia [223] by 8 wickets to reach the final of the 2019 World Cup

Rooting for England :root

Cricket deserves a new ODI champion. Enough of Australia winning it every time.
 
As I said earlier, the law of averages is going to play in England's favor. Australia has already beaten England twice in this world cup (including practice match), England was bound to win this one.

It is going to be an England vs New Zealand final with England rightfully lifting the trophy. I had been critical of English team after the Sri Lankan and Australian losses but they have showed a lot of character by beating India and New Zealand in consecutive must-win matches and now they are on track to beat Australia in the semi-final. I think they have earned this world cup.
 
Can't believe Aussies scored only 223. It is nothing against a team like England. Disappointing.

Different pitch altogher, SL pitch was much slower. This one is nowhere near that bad. Australia was looking to get 250 after 35th over. They lost too many wickets at the end, just like to lost Finch and Warner early.

England is too good. It is remarkable how they turned things around in 4 years.

I would be surprised if England didn't win, they were the favourites before WC started, they deserve to win after all their hard work to build this team.
 
England vs NZ is expected to be one-sided (if England goes through).

Don't think England will screw it up like India.

Australia today...
 
Looks like “ruthless” and the “big game mentality” Australians have been pasted by the “mental midgets” and “choking” Poms.

This is a phenomenal English side that is also mentally ready for a fight. They way the they beat India and New Zealand in must win games today dispelled the myth that they are soft.

As I said, I will have the last laugh as usual. :moyo2

Aus have enough trophies. England deserves this WC. England and not NZ winning WC is good for the game as well.
 
England are ranked #1 in the world + have home advantage, Australia are the actual underdogs in this match.
 
Australia lost the game when they were 14/3. Hard to come back against England after that scoreline.
 
Australia start cost them the game. Had someone stayed with Smith they would have got a good score.
 
United nations are finally winning a world cup. In 2007 Morgan would have never thought he would be part of a world cup winning team lol Few years back Archer would have never thought he would have become part of world cup winning team.
 
This World Cup is England's to lose. They are the best team out there and they deserve it. They have everything covered.
 
England v NZ final. so we have atleast one of the favorites making it to the final.

Your team got knocked out in Semi Final 1 so you shouldn't really be laughing.

Don’t give them flat roads and see how they will pee their pants.

Kudos to you. You made a bold prediction when England were on the brink of a WC exit, when they were tasked to beat both India and England.

Now it seems they are going to chase this total with plenty of wickets and overs to spare.

England is my second team, so I'll be very happy if they go on to win the WC.

Game ain’t over yet.

Even if England get revenge on a team that’s been haunting them for 30 years, they still have to win the Final.

Only then will they be able to dispel the tag of chokers and I will be among the first to state, “I was wrong. England have turned a corner”.

But that hasn’t happened yet...

Archers inclusion in this bowling lineup has done wonders for them.
 
I predict the final to be similar to this game. A one sided fair. New Zealand were lucky to win against India

India need 100 runs in 1 ball.

Ganguly: “it is not over yet”.

England will beat New Zealand in the final. You can mark my post now.

Badly want NZ to win. The two teams I don’t want to win wc are Hindustan and England. The one got destroyed yesterday, and hopefully the other one will flop on Sunday.

We’ll see to it.

BTW, Ganguly is just there for star value.

Not really for his intricate commentary like Wasim “score reads...” Akram.

What relation do you have with NZ?
Supporting Eng makes a lot more sense considering the amount of asians there are here.
