ICC Champions Trophy - Semi Final - England v Pakistan, Cardiff

[Luke93]

All out 211

Not enough. Not even close to below par.

 

[CHAPPERS]

How many times has this pitch been used during the tournament?

 

[Shropshire Seagull]

oh dear - first time in ages we're favourites to win something and we fvck it up ...

 

[Papa Lazarou]

How many times has this pitch been used during the tournament?

At least 2 previous I think, very dry.

 

[Titanic]

That went well... Wood's first over goes for 10.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Pakistan may struggle here, only got 10 off the first over chasing 211.

 

[Titanic]

Ball joins the party... 5 wides

 

[Pevenseagull]

Oh well

 

[Titanic]

Must be the pitch... Pakistan have only managed 24-0 off the first 4 overs.

 

[Pantani]

Must be the pitch... Pakistan have only managed 24-0 off the first 4 overs.

How many do you think England had after 4 overs?

You might be able to guess.

 

[vegster]

Might as well shut this thread down... Game over.

 

[Titanic]

Pakistan 81-0 (14 overs)

No signs of demons in the pitch at the moment...

Here comes Adil Rashid.

 

[Shropshire Seagull]

Stokes in for some tap - 19 off 2 overs - withdrawn from the attack

[Titanic]

Pakistan 100-0 (17.2 overs), Fakhar 51* (51 balls)

The inevitable collapse must be just around the corner.

Moeen Ali into the 'attack'.

 

[Mo Gosfield]

Just too sickening to watch anymore. Leaping, shrieking Pakistani's....could anything be worse!!

 

[Titanic]

Here we go... a WICKET!

118-1 (21.1 overs)

Fakhar Zaman deceived by Rashid's googly, heaves without contact, and Buttler whips of the bails.

 

[jakarta]

Oh well, making a semi-final must be seen as progress.

Pakistan-India final on the cards; I predict a riot...

 

[Shropshire Seagull]

Them Pakistanis are cutting it a bit fine for their batting collapse - if they're not careful, they'll pass our score without even realising ....

Give ROOT a bowl - he has the MIDAS touch

 

[Shropshire Seagull]

Required rate still above 2-an-over ....

 

[hans kraay fan club]

What a massive anticlimax this has been.

Booooooooooo
