[chui_kadoo]

another one bites the dust. Good tight over so far

 

[kingusama92]

Cya later Steyn.

Come on restrict the runs England. Don't let up.

 

[chui_kadoo]

come on england. Clean up the tail

 

[ZAK]

 

[Sledger]

LOL, Steyn's had a game to forget.

 

[KingKhanWC]

there was a shout involving butt or misbah i think....they showed hawkeye showing it was too high

O.K thanks.

Broad gets a wicket. Morkel comes in.

The coach must be happy now. :younis

 

[chui_kadoo]

what a catch by sidebottom. Simply outstanding

 

[KingKhanWC]

England have glue on their hands. Nice catch, SA on the brink.

 

[adzzy786]

Yaaaaaaaaaaay Woooooooooohoooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[kingusama92]

Botha gone.

Lovely stuff. SA's runrate is going to be quite low.

 

[t_kaay]

lets hope pakistan are actually trying to learn somethin here to take into their game

 

[ZAK]

Botha

 

[ShehryarK]

What a catch by Siders.

So step 1 of 3 steps achieved - Eng thrashing SA.

Can Eng thrash NZL too? Possibly.

Can we beat SA? Improbable. But not impossible.

 

[sada90]

lol pakistan still got chances..u know what does that mean...
100 more threads willl be created on Pakpassion lol

[muchacho]

lets hope pakistan are actually trying to learn somethin here to take into their game

Hahah I wish! But it certainly seems like the SA's did learn a lot from us today!

 

[Sledger]

Don't expect SA to play like this against Pakistan.

 

[cricketpassion]

Yes South Africa is lonsing by big margin .Good for Pakistan

Now I am only wishing for India loses tomorrow .that will make my weekend

 

[KingKhanWC]

tutut tututut but i hope so too

 

[chui_kadoo]

game over. England destroy SA by 39 runs

 

[adzzy786]

Yaaaaaay COMe ON!!!!!!!!! PAKISTAN HAVe A CHANCe!!!!!!! WOHOOO ALLAH KA SHUKAR!!

 

[Seen Sheen]

129 a/o..Eng are through ..

 

[Awesome_Username]

that was one fine yorker!

 

[ZAK]

England win by 39 runs.

 

[chui_kadoo]

need two more games to go our way now

 

[kingusama92]

SA really showed their weakness against spin.

We could actually give them a run for their money if we bat well enough on Monday.

 

[cricket_fever]

hahahaahhha lol we chased more than sa lolz

 

[KingKhanWC]

Don't expect SA to play like this against Pakistan.

The good news for Pak is the game is in ST.Lucia, less bounce more spin.

Pak have nothing to lose, at least we can watch the final game with some hope instead of a dead rubber.

Well played England. Looking red hot to get to the semi and fav with Aus to take the title.

It's been an up and DOWN day but thanks all.

See you tom for some Carribean fun against the Indians.

 

[mooz]

Whats the Net Run Rate situation( i am assuming that is the tie-breaker they will use if 3 teams are on one win each)?

 

[muchacho]

woohoo how much is SA's NRR now?

 

[Seen Sheen]

Now,NRR worries are over,all we have to do is to win against SA(Even by 1 run) and then hope that England beat NZ..

 

[sada90]

what is net runrate for southafrica..
where are math gurus

 

[kingusama92]

Now we are just looking at results thankfully.

NRR is out of the equation. One less thing to worry about. Pak win & Eng win = Pak Semi final berth.

 

[sh_ri71]

The First Result Has Come In Our Favour By The Help Of Allah. Hoping To Get The Other Two Results In Our Favour On Monday.may God Help Us.ameen

 

[Sledger]

Pakistan have nothing to lose but they just won't beat SA. They've historically struggled against bounce and Morkel will trouble them on any surface. They'll also be outfielded by SA and are likely to be out-batted. Can't see anything but a Pakistani loss.

 

[chui_kadoo]

we just need to beat SA. Dont need to win by a margin now

 

[muchacho]

Sa -0.650 !!

 

[adzzy786]

So if Pakistan Just about beat SA, and england just about beat NZ will pak still go through?

 

[Inswinger]

Our NRR is better than the Kiwis and Proteas after this match.

 

[Inswinger]

Pak: -0.215
NZ: -0.300
SAF: -0.650

 

[kingusama92]

SA's NRR is miles below Pakistan's now. They are even below NZ. Shocking loss for them. They will have to beat us and hope NZ lose their game if they want to advance.

SA have really choked.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Saffers Nrr is -0.65,so they really cant compete on the basis of NRR,they simply have to win against Pak in order to qualify for Semis

 

[sada90]

we just need to beat SA. Dont need to win by a margin now

so lets say if pak beat south africa by 3 runs
and if england beat newzeland by 1 run are we in semis?

 

[TalhaSyed]

Pakistan have nothing to lose but they just won't beat SA. They've historically struggled against bounce and Morkel will trouble them on any surface. They'll also be outfielded by SA and are likely to be out-batted. Can't see anything but a Pakistani loss.

Sledger bro its happening man its happening!!!


We have the 2nd highest NRR in the group so now we gotta beat SA & Eng Need to be NZ and wer in the margin doesnt matter anymore! Thankyou KP!

 

[ShehryarK]

So if Pakistan Just about beat SA, and england just about beat NZ will pak still go through?

Yes.

 

[mooz]

Cricinfo has an updated points table and Pakistanb's NRR is better than SA and NZ.

 

[adzzy786]

Saffers Nrr is -0.65,so they really cant compete on the basis of NRR,they simply have to win against Pak in order to qualify for Semis

Yeah But Inshallah they will loose, Cause the night before i hope the whole SA team has diarrohea LOL

 

[Inswinger]

The sad part is that we play the early game, So the Kiwis will have the advantage of knowing the NRR calculations.

 

[cricketpassion]

SA really showed their weakness against spin.

We could actually give them a run for their money if we bat well enough on Monday.

Exactly Usama thats what I am expecting .We have good spinners .and the match is in st lucia where spin will be handy .and our batsman will play betteron that pitch

 

[kingusama92]

so lets say if pak beat south africa by 3 runs
and if england beat newzeland by 1 run are we in semis?

We are in as long as Pak and Eng win.

The margin can be even as little as 1 run in both games.

This :-(

 

[adzzy786]

so lets say if pak beat south africa by 3 runs
and if england beat newzeland by 1 run are we in semis?

I think so

 

[adzzy786]

This :-(

Dont worry, Where they playing has little bounce, and more spin friendly

 

[kingusama92]

The sad part is that we play the early game, So the Kiwis will have the advantage of knowing the NRR calculations.

There are no NRR calculations.

IF we win then NZ has to win because our NRR is already way ahead of them.

 

[Seen Sheen]

so lets say if pak beat south africa by 3 runs
and if england beat newzeland by 1 run are we in semis?

yup,even if pak and eng beat their respective opponents by 1 run,Pak and Eng would be through to the semis..

 

[Awesome_Username]

The sad part is that we play the early game, So the Kiwis will have the advantage of knowing the NRR calculations.

NRR is out of the equation pretty much for us. If we beat SA and England beat NZ, we go through. NZ have to win either way and focus on the NRR only if SA win.

 

[Fawad2010]

No KP for the match against NZ!!

 

[Fawad2010]

Breaking news: Kevin Pietersen will return to the UK in the next 24 hours. It's baby time for KP! "Provided there are no complications he will return to the Caribbean in time for the semi-finals," according to the ECB.

Oh boy.. no KP.

This sucks. Can England win without him?

thx

yes we sure are if that happens.

 

[chui_kadoo]

afridi and co must breathing a sigh of relief. They are hanging on to the cup by a thread

 

[kingusama92]

Best thing is that I can actually watch the Pak-SA matchup with interest.

Even if we don't advance at least there will be excitement.

Noooo,England showing their meanness..

Lucky U, KU

Highlights for me

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Got up from watching in bed, just to say ... "Saffers are chokers!". But hopefully they can still get to the SF.

 

[Friend786]

if india loose tomorrow , will they be able to qualify for semis?

 

[asad100101]

they are out

 

[kingusama92]

if india loose tomorrow , will they be able to qualify for semis?

Well If India lose tomorrow they will require quite a miracle.

Australia will have to beat SL by huge margin - quite possible

India will have to beat SL by huge margin - tight game

Australia will have to beat WI - quite possible

I believe this is correct.

Bhai even after winning our 2 games against WI n SL we don't guarantee a place in semis ...i think NRR will come into account if even we won both the games.

 

[mastermind_quad]

Got up from watching in bed, just to say ... "Saffers are chokers!". But hopefully they can still get to the SF.

This is not choke buddy ...choke is when u won all the games till the crucial one ...u can still qualify for semis ... this time u playing like a normal team with proper calculation for going in semis like other teams do...
