what a short by morgan

 

[On_the_up]

VDM getting spanked in this match, I am loving it. He always gives the impression he's so much better than he actually is.

 

[Inswinger]

I was hoping he'd get a ton and help the English knock out the Proteas.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

is there still a batting powerplay left?

Yes

 

[IM NOT YOU]

is there still a batting powerplay left?

anybody?

 

[IM NOT YOU]

just tuned in

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Yes the Batting PP is left still.

 

[Wassixpakistani]

I hope England wins . Would be a tough job for English bowlers to handle the SA batting line-up .

 

[IM NOT YOU]

thx

 

[Afridi_Fan]

LoL Everyone is confused about the batting PP

 

[Afridi_Fan]

England takes Batting PP

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Come On England hit 'em

 

[Afridi_Fan]

253/3 after 42

 

[cricketpassion]

2 fours in 1st over of batting pp

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Morgan is crashing 'em to the boundaries.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Collingwood Gone.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Morgan

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Morgan 40 off 20 balls.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

279/4.

5 overs remaining.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

E.Morgan

 

[Da Best]

Morgan turning it on here. England look like if they're going to go above 300. 279/4 after 45.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Morgan's on fire.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Wright Gone. Unfortunate though.

 

[cricketpassion]

Luke runout

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

If Morgan stays there till the end England can look at a target around 320 to 330.

 

[cricketpassion]

slow coach bopara in now

 

[Afridi_Fan]

48 runs off Batting PP

 

[Afridi_Fan]

50 for Morgan, well played.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Bopara Goes.

 

[Oxy]

Ravinder Bopara's terrible summer continues....

He'll be history when KP returns

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Bopara gone

 

[Afridi_Fan]

296/6 after 47

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Parnell took wicket No 3.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

England getting derailed at the death.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

300 up

 

[cricketpassion]

300 up for england

 

[saqeeb90]

300 up for england

is this same england team...

wow i mean wow...

 

[pak4life]

I never seen soo many 300's in such a short period of time.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Morgan

 

[12thMan]

one side of field is 58m boundary. Eng should try to get to 320. Bopara a big mistake with that shot but a better batsman was left after him and now Broad is also gone

300 up for England

 

[Afridi_Fan]

310/7

2 overs to go.

 

[cricketpassion]

310/7 48 overs

 

[Afridi_Fan]

E. Morgan

 

[cricketpassion]

six by morgan

 

[Afridi_Fan]

319/7

Last over coming up.

 

[12thMan]

Botha's arm has been almost perfect this match

 

[Afridi_Fan]

So, it will be a record chase at Centurion if Saffies manage it.

I highly doubt it though.

 

[IAJ]

Eoin Morgan

Seems like this is the weekend for every possible thread out there so here is another one.
I have seen this guy bat in a couple of matches and he reminds me a bit of KP when he entered the international arena. Really good against both spin and fast bowling.

He played really well today, 67 runs from 34 balls before he got out. 5 sixes. Well done.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

What a catch by Smith.

What an Innings by Morgan.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Last over coming up. Eng shoulld look for 330 to 340 now.

 

[cricketpassion]

Morgan gone but done his job

 

[hasanb]

Oh dear...it seems SA are on their way out here, my fantasy team captain is smith, SA making an early departure from the tourny is disaster!

Come on Saffers make a comeback...Please!

Great catch from smith as i speak, morgan gone.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

67 from 34 balls.

Well Played man.

 

[me_asim]

This should be "Bye Bye" South Africa

 

[dblock]

England have hit 12 Sixes

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Saffies need 324 to win.

1) Bopara is now history
2) Michael Vaughan must regret retiring - he assumed Bopara was in for the next 3-5 years!
3) Morgan - very innovative!

 

[dblock]

So currently it looks like we will have

Pakistan,
Australia (possibly India),
England,
NZ/SL

 

[Wassixpakistani]

The Irish finally found his inner England .

I would very much like it this way , Just take that India possibility out of their and it's perfect .

comon England, crush SA like bugs

 

[Wassixpakistani]

comon England, crush SA like bugs

And make Bug stew out of it .

 

[12thMan]

If England doesn't get two wickets in first 10 overs then advantage South Africa as I can see them race to 70-0 in 10 on this ground.

 

[Wassixpakistani]

Make that 100-0 now that Gibbs in .

 

[DonJee]

So it's confirmed. If South Africa lose today, they will DEFINITELY be out of the tournament.


They are currently on NRR of -0.053 and Sri Lanka, having played 3 game already, are on NRR 0.085. If South Africa lose their NRR will go down for sure helping Sri Lanka going second.

Equation is simple for New Zealand. They go through, they just have to WIN their last game!

HOWEVER, If South Africa win today they WILL DEFINITELY go through as they will be on 4 points.
Whoever wins from England v New Zealand game on Thursday will go through!

 

[Kriketer]

Africans have really been taken to cleaner!!! Man I so wanted them to play against Pakistan in the final. 323 is a huge total, expect them to crumble under pressure.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Buckle up for a bumpy ride. A nation's hopes depends on it.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Saffies off the mark with a triple.

 

[Kray_jackson7]

cmon anderson and onions. rack up them points!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

3/0 after 1.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Piyaaz" Onions to share the new ball

 

[Afridi_Fan]

1st boundary to Smith.

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Smith says thank you for the 444444

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Onions is bowling rubbish short of length deliveries but Saffies haven't cashed in so far.

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Eish, Gibbs is gonna be out if he tries to slog

 

[Afridi_Fan]

9/0 after 2.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Gibbs flicked that for four.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Brilliant fielding by Denly

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Dammit, England have scored 300+ four times. and every time they have lost.

Will they be 5th time lucky?
