2015, we're sharing it with the sheep-shaggers, it will probably be like last time where they get to play all of their games on home soil.

Interesting from Andrew Strauss, Onions accidentally blocked Angelo Mathews' path just after turning for the second run. Mathews gives up and then looks towards the umpire for assistance while he is run out.

Mathews is given out, but after a team discussion, Strauss calls him back. Whether he should have called him back or not does not matter much as Mathews is out in the next over, leaving Sri Lanka on 7/176 after 40.3.

How did Don Bopara go?

[the joker]

the Chokers are out of the Tournament, it has opened up for Australia ( who are now Favourates). South Africa are out Sri Lanka Lost to New Zealand and if New Zealand beat England Sri Lanka will be out, and if Australia beat India tonight the Semi Final teams will be set. with Pakistan playing Australia for top spot in Group A

I think The Semi Finals will be

Australia/Pakistan Vs New Zealand/Sri Lanka

and England vs Pakistan/Australia.

Most likely in Italics.

What i saw from Graeme Smith last night was something very very special. It was a shame he got very little support from the rest of his team.

Oh yes he did indeed, 134 balls, good to see Don Bopara slip down to 7 and boost his average with a swashbuckling 1, at least he only wasted 2 balls to get it though.

england were paying around 10 to finish on top of their group at start of tourny...

Maybe that last game against aussies got them back into form..

[Lightning McQueen]

Australia are under pressure now, have to win against Pakistan to make the semi's.

[the joker]

Australia are under pressure now, have to win against Pakistan to make the semi's.

they can still lose and make it, India have to make up a combined difference of 104 runs,
so if Australia lose by 50, India have to win by 54 runs,

[blink]

If the match is abandoned like last night's game, then Australia will also go through to the semi's.
