Pakis hammered the WIndies. Waste of time the WIndies turning up as they were totally inept.

Really big one tomorrow though. India v. Australia. Could be a classic as long as the Aussies dont implode and Ponting stops making stupid decisions. I am tipping India to win this one.

India win. Good game got really tense during the Indian run chase. Especially after Kohli was caught off a full toss. Then Gambhir threw his wicket away. Not satisfied at almost being run out off two consecutive balls he achieved it on the third consecutive ball. But Yuvraj and Raina steadied the ship and got India home.

IMO the Aussies put a good effort in but were beaten fair and square.

Oh fuck that means no abbo posts for a few months until Bazzap gets his jacuzzi taken over by Foz and Reg

I would have dropped Tait and kept the leggie Smith in as he could have caused more problems. But Ponting won the toss, opted to bat first and reckoned around 250 runs was a good score. So it went according to his game plan. Only, India managed to get them. On paper it looks like India won easily but watching the game it was pretty tight and Yuvraj was the player who won it for India. The batting/bowling conditions were also more suited to the home team.

Ponting answered his critics with a good ton which may buy him some more time and keep the media off his back.

Moving on its South Africa v. New Zealand today. SA to win that one. Made even easier for SA as NZ are currently 5 for 1 B. McCullum being the man out.

Just when it looks like the Kiwis have had their chups the Yarpies go and choke on them. Good win for the Kiwis. Hope they named du Plessis Man of the Match for running out de Villiers as that helped turn the game.

Its the big one tomorrow England v. Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka have to be favourites as England are highly inconsistent. Think it will be either be a tight game or England will be hammered. Whoever wins almost has a bye into the final as they will play the Kiwis in the semi.

Looking like an India v. Sri Lanka final.

[Frankie]

Well England flattered to deceive in reaching the quarter finals and were hammered by Sri Lanka. England batted first and struggled to hit the ball off the square. If Morgan hadnt got 4 lives when batting the Sri Lankan's would have had even less runs to chase. The only consolation is that a 10 wicket defeat would have still been the outcome.

At least Dilshan and Tharanga had to break sweat when knocking the runs off but that was down to the weather conditions rather than anything England bowled at them.

A crushing defeat for England by a far superior team, so there can be no complaints at the result.

England return to their long term form.
