Only it wouldn't be 35, it would be 5 or 7.

we could of done with it tonight

Bopara was very impressive, wasn't he?

A case for him batting above Freddie.

 

[jonah]

Dumb Fernando, pulling out at the last second. he might be trying to test whether Bopara would try one of those leg glances.

He was out of order. Gamesmanship or cheating? Fine line.

All credit to Nicko and Bopara though, almost digging us out of the hole that the upper order got us into yet again. I say promote KP up to 3, even open with him, to try and give us some momentum at the start of the innings.

What an amazing game, kept me on the edge of my seat.
Shame we didn't win though

 

[WORLD CHAMPIONS]

OMG Bopara gets bowled on the last ball :O
I wonder if fernando distracted Boparas concentration

What an amazing game, england fans and the team are all stunned but whatever they did well to get here. Just the type of game we needed in the world cup, i hope there are more games like this in what ever is left of the world cup.
From Englands points of view selecting Bopara and Nixon was good for them and i think Nixon is the much needed keeper batsmen that they needed

Well, Fernando done that trick quite good trick , I bet any player on that time could do the same

Quite a twattish trick aswell. God help him (or maybe not) next time he encounters the Barmy Army.

For the Aus game I'd drop Joyce and open with Strauss and Bopara.

Could someone clear up what Fernando did for me please? I've been relying on Stevie's dodgy ball-by-ball commentary.

Full credit to Nixon and Ravi; Brilliant innings.

Wishful hoping, fletcher seems set on the same team.

Ran up for the last ball then didn't release it as too annoy Bopara and detract his concentration.

Haha i am soo gonna try that this season while playing

So i guess with this win i would say the top 4 would probably be Aus, NZ, RSA, and SL

I have tried this a lot , and got good results

 

[evertonfan]

You know what I just realised? There was a 5 ball over earlier on in our innings.

 

[irottev]

Oh boo hoo, stop crying about Fernando pulling out. It should never have come down to needing runs of the last ball anyway. The Job should have been compelted earlier. It was a poor total and if England can't chase that down, they won't win many more Super 8 games.

I can't believe England messed it up. Bell's runout was unlucky but then England collapsed. Bopara and Nixon actually did well to keep them in the game.

They don't have that killer instinct. They can't fight for 100 overs.

we fought for 99.5 overs :
