What a game there by Mitchell Johnson and Steven Smith. A wicket or a few runs less, and we'd have lost. Sangakkara didn't turn up with his batting, but I have confidence in him. We'll go unchanged!

Come on Warriors
 
Wow! We're are actually through to the finals! @Aggz sorry, I didn't see any notifications.

Just a couple of changes.

Even Stevens on day 1 I can say, no team dominated it. Really happy though we got 5 of them down, Swanny is doing the job yet again! :) Also Broad's couple has got Warriors thinking a lot now, but both North and Smith are really good batters, we should get them tomorrow morning the latest if we have a chance.
