Fabulous bowling by Howell, Econ. Of 1.90 is impressive. Out batting order never looked in trouble against SA. Good Win

-3Australia, the defending champions from 1900 and table toppers of Group One will take on the West Indies in the first semi-final. The team from the Caribbean finished second in Group Two after a highly impressive debut which saw them beat Great Britain, the country that brought cricket to them.
Meanwhile, Great Britain will be facing the hosts United States in the second semi-final. After an embarrassing slip-up in their first match against the West Indies, the British recovered well enough to beat Ireland and Netherlands convincingly to top their group. The Americans started off similarly against a much superior Australian side, before recording impressive victories against Test nation South Africa and a deflated Mixed Team.

Into the semi final for the third consecutive time with a comprehensive victory over the Dutch. So, its USA once again. Its bound to be an unpredictable match.

The American dream for another gold medal ended in heartbreak with KS Ranjitsinhji and Dick Lilley standing firm to guide the Englishmen to victory. The 1904 final shall be an Australia-Great Britain rematch of 1900, while the United States and West Indies fight it out for a bronze medal.

I lack to mojo to do a pre-final write-up this time, so I'll simply cut to the chase. Hand me your lineups please.
