1st semi final: England vs Australia

[angryangy]

Friday October 2 12:30 UTC at Centurion

The pitches at Centurion are getting old and rain is predicted over the weekend. With that we can probably expect to a low scoring final or two. Reverse swing could be quite key and England would probably prefer that it wasn't, although spin would perk them up. England have grown a bit of confidence in the last few weeks, but Australia can't be expected to show any mercy after a tight encounter with Pakistan. Who is ready to make their move?

I am favouring Australia to win after noticing the result of the Natwest series (6-1). On the other hand England has done well since that series.

 

[Highlander999]

We'll lose. Meh, didn't think we would get this far so might as well enjoy getting to watch them muck around for another 100 or so overs

 

[ali_ed2001]

I want England to win.

 

[King Pietersen]

We're out then.

If it rains, I presume Australia go through?

 

[barmyarmy]

Will this make it 7-1?

 

[Skater]

Our 15th game against Australia this year. 15th.

Go England. :banana2


Win this and make it 2 win in a row vs Australia. Great playing by the whole team especially against South Africa.


no one expected Strauss opening the rule book of ICC and Section B of point ** states no runner for cramps and tired


Not sarcastic here Go England!

Well England is unknow team..something they play well and something they are poor.
but I am backing them to win this match.

As the Natwest series showed, we are far superior to Australia in every way. I see no problems here. I look forward to beating Pakistan in the final.

:laugh Hay but Natwest series is history now. England have been good so far and Austraila even struggler agianst a weak West Indies.

This is the second time Aus-Eng meet in semis of CT. Last time, England lead by Vaughan won the mighty Aussies but this time, lets see. If Aussies are going to win this, I would prefer Pakistan winning the Kiwis.

 

[Themer]

Will be a good match this.

Personally I don't see us winning this, Australia's bowling shall blow us away.

Go England! I dont wanna see Australia winning all over again. Keep them down for some more time. England vs New Zealand final would be apt. The final of the 'no hopers'
