sangakaras hitting a ton, guaranteed

Rain. Cloud looked pretty thick as well.

 

[DeSo]

Lame.

Think we would have struggled against their spinners but still... lame.

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Probably would have, the they where saying on 1/3 teams ever win there batting second and the almost all spin attack wouldn't have helped.

Zorro is on GEM or whatever.

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

So does the game carry over to next day or is it a draw, what happens?

Edit: Looks like its over.

Clash of the titans today

Number 1 favourites Ireland and some lesser known teams.

I think England vs. SA is going to be a cracker; and it will finish early enough that I'll be able to watch it all live.

 

[justin.au]

Perhaps this won't be such a great game; Strauss for a duck.

 

[whatsinaname]

England

[Salvor.Hardin]

SA is going to breeze through this match.

Paging Salazar ..

 

[tri_willy]

holy wow saffers, eng may fail to make it past the group stages

 

[Lunchbox]

They should take away these small teams like england out of world tournaments

who gave em test status anyways?

 

[AdventureRacing]

England make the group stages worth watching.

OMG .. another twist in the tale.

Paging .. all proteas.

Spoiler

Chokers

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Tell me about it. They're 3-1xx something or other when I go to the loo, and I'm chuckling to myself "get it up yer English so and sos", and when I return SA are 7-1xx and it's all gone to shit!

People (admittedly tailenders) are getting out to that serial pie chucker Yardy!

 

[mclem]

England might be wildly inconsistent in this world cup, but I have to say we're consistently in the most exciting matches

 

[pieatorium]

Ireland collapsing almost as fast as SA now

Thats an exaggeration

why are we bowling pietersen right now. we don't need economy, they are fine on run rate, we need wickets, put on a wicket taker before its too late strauss.

Biggest captain blunder of this WC so far, Peiterson's bowled eight and Anderson might not even bowl his full quota (he's bowling awesome today)

 

[artist]

Bresnan back and gets a wicket .. there you go.

 

[Empty]

fuck yeah bresnan. now it's tight.

 

[mclem]

I actually get more nervous when there's bowlers batting in a situation like this than dedicated batsmen. They may be inconsistent, but they'll sometimes utterly smash it. Suddenly randomness comes into play.

Edit: Okay, now this is *really* tense.

 

[Empty]

yessssss

 

[artist]

Broad gets one, just one left!

edit; Reviewed but me thinks he's a goner.

YES!

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Haha c'mon.

 

[artist]

Lets get another TIE!

 

[mclem]

Wow. Stunning finish.

 

[Empty]

broad you beauty.

fuck yeah england.

 

[Andiie]

What a game!
England have been in some entertaining games this WC.

 

[Grug]

Don't normally take a lot of interest in games where Australia isn't playing but that was a great game of cricket.

 

[Dynedom]

Ireland do what South African't

 

[artist]

Well deserved.

 

[mclem]

It was all over when they had 7 wickets in hand with 48 runs to score; it was all over when they had 3 wickets in hand with 13 runs to score.

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

CHOKERS!

 

[pieatorium]

 

[Ashes]

No, I can't call em chokers now...

Can't fault either bowling and fielding team...

Excellent match. Another tense one for england fans... Well done England...
Hard luck S. Africa

 

[DeSo]

Pitch must have been really shitty.

So, what sort of game has England still got to get to get the complete set?

We've had one that we should have won where we played awfully and just scraped a win.
We've had one that we should have lost where we played well and just scraped a tie
We've had one that we should have won where we played awfully and lost tightly.
And now we've had one that we should have lost where we played awfully and just scraped a win.

England's the team to watch this tournament. Not because they're all that likely to win, but they're the most consistently entertaining team to watch by some margin.
