ICC Champions Trophy 2013 | And we have our champions

[Sulaiman7]

Well done boys , Hashim Amla;s and Smith's unbeaten opening partnership of 110 runs of just 100 balls took off the pressure of the middle order batters and a brisk fifty by AB made sure that the manager is not disappointed although Kallis and Duminy were disappointing . Mclaren and Petersen in the lower order got room and brisked runs . Steyn and Mclaren again were excellent with the ball . Well done overall .

 

[Aalay]

Not a good day for us but we will bounce back strongly in the next match.

Shocking effort.
All the bowlers barring Franklin struggled and there was no way we could have got close to that total.

We knew that hitting Franklin too much would affect your team's performance in the next round. Just wanted to give you some hope of coming back from this defeat.

Finally, a result in the favor of the English. Good stuff by most of our batsmen. Think we'll have to stick with 5 specialists for the next match. Anyways, a good result.

fantastic victory for us

Crushing defeat for the Aussies,Bowlers didn't do well to restrict England from getting over 300. in the end Watson,clarke and bailey played well but nobody else could score over 10 .
