thsi will be a good world cup for england i think, they have a good squad as they have ddone wjhat they should have done for years, by picking one day specialists.if wwe beat australia then we should go on to win this. Even if we are to lose all we have to do is beat zimbabwe and we will go through any way. ------------- Flavia et Cornelia sedebat sub arbore!!! Oh My goodness!! Sitting under a tree! |

USA are suspended from international cricket. Zimbabwe have 'merely' opted out of playing Test cricket. Although given how their select XI, which was to all extents and purposes, a Test side, pushed South Africa last week, I wouldn't be too surprised if they're back in a few years. ------------- |

Don't panic Homer , England will have plenty of support in CT and I expect them to show some spirit. From a supporter's perspective I'll leave the spirits alone , but will be vocal and down the odd pint!

England should be glad to be in this group. They get very good experience by playing against Australia (even if the lose) so that maybe further on in the competition they will be better prepared to face them. They can definately beat Zim so they should certainly make it to the other round. As far as Australia is concerned...I see them winning this group.
Zim....well they should have probably been in a group with WI...they would have had a better chance of making it to the other round that way! ------------- |

Going by the provisional squad, Mascarenhas, Yardy, Bresnan or Chapple would appear to be the logical favourites. Other possibles might include Rob Key or Joe Denly or even Mal Loye. ------------- |
Posted By: Clobber
Date Posted: 04 September 2007 at 2:34pm

I suppose it depends on how much value they place on Bopara's bowling as to whether they go for an all rounder or a specialist batsman. As a total wild card how about a call up for Phil Mustard? |
Posted By: -JP-
Date Posted: 04 September 2007 at 2:42pm

That's a brave, but potentially brilliant call - no man is in better limited overs form than him at the moment. ------------- |
Posted By: Sledger
Date Posted: 04 September 2007 at 2:49pm

I'd have thought mobility in the field is crucial - Rob Key's slower than I am! Mustard has many supporters and does clear the ropes and having another keeper might be a good idea...... ------------- Mental disintegration works for me !! |

Australia well beaten by SA yesterday - their bowling looked
particularly innocuous. Smith impressed , as did de Villiers - the
pitch was a batsman's dream. Nice gesture after the game , the sides showed an almost sellout crowd a bowl off. The sides were level after the 6 bowlers had finished and SA won in extra time! If this comes to fruitition in this event we're going to see some nervy players ! Australia won't be panicking , but they did take it seriously - they didn't want to lose this one. ------------- Mental disintegration works for me !! |

Well done to ZIM and it just shows that any team can win the tournament, well, 10 teams really. Kenya and Scotland aren't in contention in my book.
Anyways, when I saw Ponting depart, I knew it was going to be a good game. Brent did the damage early on with the ball and he was putting the ball in the right places for that sort of track. Utseya didn't bowl good in my book. He should have bowled some flatter and try to get them to spin on that slow wicket!
For Aussie, Mitchell Johnson did the right thing by bowling a lot of short pitch deliveries! Minnows as the commentators mentioned prefer pitch up balls than the shorter ones. Anyways, credit to the hero of the day Taylor. Some beautiful cut shots and boy I tell you, he does play them real good and those 2 sixes off Hodge was spectacular and that brought the game back in ZIM favour. ------------- In troubled times, being philosophical helps a great deal, it helps you to remain sane and not do any further damage. |

OH My words can't describe today's match. It is the best match so far in this tournament. I really enjoyed this match.....(yes it's possible). . Great batting from Taylor. However, some of the Zim's batsmen were giving away their wickets. I saw I think 2 Zimbabwean batsmen get out in almost the same way. They made contact with the ball and it skied in the air and of course Gilly won't miss those. That was probably just giving away your wicket. They need to work on that. However, overall it was a great performance. I'd like it if the win this 2020 worldcup. England may really feel the aussies wrath after this big upset today!

Are we entering a new era in cricket people?

No school today and tomorrow for me and watch 20/20 cricket, perfect day today and i am expecting a better one tomorrow.
Can't wait though, do hope the rain goes to England quickly and not the cricket stadium. ------------- August 16th 2009, my team Youth Combine was crowned CHAMPION once more |

| Should be a good match tonight. With no signs that Australia have any form in the batting department, one of them should fire tonight! If Australia get the chance, I think they should and will bat, get the nerves out and the confidence back in. They can't blame being rusty for that poor effort on Wednesday and they'll be right after England from the word go! Although don't rule England out yet, after seeing that match, you'd think they would have learnt something and try and adopt the Zimbabwian's strategy. Don't expect to see any records broken it will be an old fasion dog-fight between these two rivals. I for one can't wait to watch! |
