ICC Champions Trophy 2013 - England & Wales

[crazyrahul]

Fabulous match was that, was not looking like a close game initially but Hats off McKay-Doherty, well tried

Dramatic end... Dilshan took unbelievable catch and Srilanka goes thru semis. I wanted NZL though.

Another game of India-Srilanka

Absolutely can not wait for tomorrow! It's going top be a huge game, I hope Steyn and Swann are fut to play. My money's one a big win for England

The word from the England camp seems to be that Swann is not fit and will not be risked this close to the Ashes.

South Africa is Losing wickets ,with Ab and Amla gone. I think This is England's Game.

 

[superfreddie]

Wow, how well is buttler playing, keep going england

 

[Warner Watson]

Chokers tag stay alive on South Africa, Choked another time in ICC event

101/8 , absolutely amazed that South Africa are in that position. Looks like a mix of some good bowling and some poor batting at just the wrong time.

Shame as it looks like this won't be a contest

another semi-final with bones in it for south africa.

I'm loathe to use the chokers tag to quickly with them but come on, poorest batting performance of the tournament so far and they have one of the best batting line ups.

At least the lower order are looking to make a fight of it, although they're now all out for 175

If you look at cr*c*nfo they say they are missing "four marquee players", if they had "Smith, Kallis, Steyn and Morkel" then I'd hope it would be more of a contest. It would be like England missing Cook, Trott, Anderson and whoever you rank as next best seamer. That's four potential match winners missing

Rumour has it there are more South Africans in the England line-up than the South African XI....................................

Only Trott in this line-up I think. But yeah they are missing some great players, think India will beat us in the final if we get there, hope I'm wrong though.

Hoping the SLankans stop the Indians, send them packing with their tales between the legs!

You might want to change that to 'tails'.

 

[Aalay]

He has been saying that since the warm up matches started.

 

[Skater]

Well done England, I certainly didn't expect us to get to the final. It's about time the Trott doubters stopped. The man has been a huge part of our team.

 

[Aalay]

Jonathan Trott is a brilliant player. He is so consistent.

 

[Samuels]

Time to add 2013 to the T-shirt. Pathetic performance from the Africans. They have such a great team but for some reason keeps on choking. Players change, result doesn't.
