1st semi final: England vs Australia

[aussie1st]

Hello Watson! Thats more like what I was expecting from him, some seriously good hitting in that over.

Watson is going insane here and they did it professionally the Aussies and earnt some vcash! Good knocks by Ponting and Watson esp. Watson, im normally a huge critic of his but he did very well today!

 

[aussie1st]

Great partnership and win, this is good momentum to take into the final.

 

[StinkyBoHoon]

Poor, poor attempt by our boys. Got themselves into a good position, the score was defendable with a couple of early wickets but it's been all too predictable.

it's always a double edged sword though when two of the lower order make a big partnership after a collapse, yeah it makes the score look good but it also shows that the pitch was really quite easy to bat on.

Austraila just kill England..what a easy game.

 

[aus_maestro]

well, that went ok.

 

[Fatal Shot]

What was the gameplan going in for England? They absolutely failed to do anything right with bat and ball.

 

[pcfan123]

Gameplan was to lose horribly to instill a false sense of confidence in the Saffers. Now we can catch them by surprise this winter

 

[Annoyingdevil]

Austraila just throw a pie in Englands face.:doh
oh well India are out so I am still really happy!!

I don't know what makes me want to cry more. The fact that Shane Watson scored a hundred or that Strauss thinks that there are positives to take from this game. There aren't and that 80 by Bresnan will probably overshadow the fact that he did flip-all with the ball yet again and, what's worse, it's earned him an extended run in the team.

Aus once again crushed Eng, even though Eng did manage to get 250+ score after they were 100/5 Aus crushed them very badly....

 

[piriyanth]

Wow...that was an easy win for Australia.

 

[SaiSrini]

Thumping win for Australia. Oh god, they look like they might be back to the old marauding form that made them unbeatable. I dont like the sound of that!

 

[piriyanth]

Still not impressed with our bowling though........we struggled to get the tailenders out.

 

[McLOVIN]

Eng got murdered !!

Pak vs Aus would be a good final. its almost a repeat of WC99. except it was RSA vs AUS semi #2.
