It is a great idea! The kids are tucked into the bottom tier, having a great day out as it should be. Still oodles of empty seats tho.

Rather chuffed we are in the 2nd semi-final. I wfh on Thursdays so will be able to watch it, which I wouldn't if we'd been in the first semi on Tuesday

It's another England sports team semi final for this summer, you'll probably wish it had been Tuesday.

True, although wfh will still be a bonus if we lose as I sit next to an India supporter in the office.

Is there anything on this match apart from pride? World ranking points? filthy lucre?

Morning Everybody.
Two more dead rubbers today, I'm sure Sri Lanka and the Saffers would rather be on their respective flights home.
Nevertheless:
10.30 Game is at Headingly Sri Lanka vs India
12.30 Game is at Old Trafford Australia vs South Africa
Should be clear cut wins for the Semi Finalists unless they decide to rest players.

Off to Old Trafford shortly..... Good job it's 13.30 kick off or our sandpaper might get wet. Forecast for the pm is good.
Not technically a dead rubber as I'd prefer to play the convicts in the semi rather than the final (after they've battered New Zealand again). If the Saffers can pull it off today then that's on (India Sri Lanka notwithstanding).

I’m going too. Got a bit of a shock when I opened the curtains this morning but looks fine for later.

Might have a chance of semi final tickets too as the Indians will all be selling their tickets if SA win! Not a lot of love for the Aussies at OT [emoji23].

The Saffers have looked pretty disjointed this tournament, no idea why though, Amla not been himself and the rest of their engine room has not scored as heavily as usual...
So, whats the prognosis for the semi-finals , I heard we get India or the Convicts ?

It seemed we would have India, but given the Saffers are doing a job on Australia at present it will be India/NZ and Australia/England.
In a way who cares, we will have to win two tough games, but if you are not up for whoever you face then you don't deserve to win the competition.
