[mumtaz]

england can do it!!

 

[octavian]

10 required of the last over.

 

[octavian]

Mcgrath to bowl the last over.

 

[Noman]

10 runs and six balls....

one six or one boundary needed

 

[mumtaz]

You know England only needs to get 9. If its a tie England would win the tournament coz they finished better in the group stages.

 

[Rob H]

no ball and a single

 

[Hashim]

nah auzzies have this match in the bag

 

[octavian]

dot ball !!!!!!

 

[mumtaz]

8 off 5, actually 7 off 5 because of the tie situation

 

[octavian]

8 off 5 required now

 

[Rob H]

5 off 3

 

[Rob H]

3 off 2

 

[Hashim]

england gonna lose!

 

[Rob H]

gough run out

 

[mumtaz]

come on England get 2 runs off the last ball. it would bring back memories of the tied semi-final between Aus and SA

 

[Rob H]

Match Tied

 

[mumtaz]

So tied final? who wins now? Tied final should have the same rules as that tied semi-final.

 

[Hashim]

wow, tie, unbelievable.

 

[Hashim]

what happnes now?

 

[Raz]

Match tied. England should have won this one but it will be Australia who will be most angry about the result.

 

[Rob H]

they share the trophy

 

[Raz]

They share the trophy.

 

[mumtaz]

England should win bcoz of more points in group stages.

 

[Noman]

But it's a Finale,.....

But really England top order was very very poor, all the batsman was going hard after the ball....

I think the plan was>>>>the top order should have played like test match then Flintoft and Pietersen could make them win,.,

 

[mumtaz]

Yeah this match so makes me wonder if sending Hafeez 1 down instead of Malik in the VB series finals was after all the right thing to do. Lee and McGrath with the new ball seem unplayable at the moment.

 

[Hashim]

match tied, fair result i suppose

 

[Rob H]

man of the series is Symonds
