Australia vs England-ICC C.T.-Semi Final

[Gozu]

The pre-match shows starts at 9:30pm tonight on Fox. The poms have been playing well this tournament but we should have their measure. David Hussey is coming into the squad for Michael Clarke and the winner of this match will face the winner of Saturday nights New Zealand/Pakistan game in the final on Monday night.

[Gozu]

After losing the Ashes to them I couldn't handle it if we were knocked out of this tournament by the poms. Hopefully Ponting's got that look in his eye tonight.

[spell_check]

Great catch to dismiss Strauss by Hopes; England 1/15.

[spell_check]

Shah is gawn, good bowling from Bing Lee and Paine with a fine legside catch; England are now 2/16

[spell_check]

3/88 currently England, and some bees have taken a liking to one of the side on cameras. They appear to be making a hive there.

[spell_check]

Denly out, Paine with another beauty of a catch, England 4/91 - Denly (36) c: Paine b: Siddle

[spell_check]

Hopes drops Morgan off Wattooooooooo, misjudges it by not coming in a bit more. Perhaps it dipped on him.

[spell_check]

Didn't matter, Wattoooooooooooooo again! Davies inside edge, onto off stump and relocates it a few metres back. 5/100 now.

[spell_check]

Lets add a few more o's, it's the Wattoooooooooooooooooo show!

Paine takes his fourth catch and Watson his 2nd wicket, England are throwing away the game here.

6/101 and Tim Bresnan comes to the crease.

[mighty_tiger_79]

have they lost another wicket yet????

[spell_check]

No, currently 6/118 with Bresnan and Wright in. The Manhattan chart looks like England are out of the CBD now the way the runs have dried up.

[spell_check]

Halfway point with the England team on 6/125, Wright 8 off 15 and Bresnan 16 off 19

[Gozu]

Looked like Big Bad Bustling Watto had that look in his eye earlier.

[spell_check]

The run-rate worm looks more like a pulse followed by a flatline.

[spell_check]

Looked like Big Bad Bustling Watto had that look in his eye earlier.

And his eyes lit up when Bresnan arrived at the crease!

[spell_check]

Last ball from Lee, 152.4ks

[spell_check]

No spin from Hauritz allows Wright to club the ball into firstly an open balcony, then one of the chalets. The 2nd six was measured @ 103m.

6/173 after 35.1.

I can see them reaching 250 when 150 was on target.

[spell_check]

If this keeps going then 300 is still a long shot - 6/190 after 38 with Wright and Bresnan looking comfortable.

[spell_check]

Bresnan brings up his 50 and the 200 up in the same single scoring shot.

[spell_check]

And now the 100 partnership for the 7th wicket.
