England Sri Lanka semi.....

[Everest]

Can we play you every week?

 

[sam86]

Go on the Springboks! Perhaps we can rap this batting display up without even using an Englishman.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

We are going bat mental. This surely can't last.

Two excellent sixes in that over.

 

[Cantona's Flying Dropkick]

England 68/1 (8.1/20 ov)

Correct

 

[Race]

nice throwing from the bowler!

 

[mcshane in the 79th]

While England have played well, they've also been very very lucky that A; the umpire missed the obvious lbw and B; Sri Lanka's fielding has been terrible to say the least

And as soon as I type that Lumb is clean bowled. 80-2

 

[Cantona's Flying Dropkick]

England 80/2 (9.4/20 ov)

Big six from KP. Need 33 from 51 balls. Too easy...

A triumph for the nation of South Africa, shame it's England who are supposed to be playing in this match.

I'll bite, what makes any of our half saffer players more south african than english? all (I think) have at least one English parent. So go on, what makes them more Saffer than English apart from having an accent?

Umpires decisions swing both ways (ooeerr!) and Sri Lankas fielding can be put down to the pressure of the game after we bowled them so well....thats not luck!

fact is we've destroyed them today!

 

[Everest]

Good shot Colly

 

[Cantona's Flying Dropkick]

England 113/3 (14.1/20 ov)

 

[Jake Manthorpe]

[Barrel of Fun]

That was a lovely shot.

A lovely shot of a couple of fine young ladies, also.

Good points. That lbw was a howler though from a usually spot on umpire.

All over

Well done England.

It is not long ago that we were absolutely diabolical at Twenty20. Finally picked a squad for their strengths and not a job for the boys.
