I missed almost all of todays match so I don't know how well either side played. I did see a certain idiotic batsman try and block the ball with his face, waste 15mins then go out next ball though :lol:


Well, our unbeaten summer is over, but I think it was just being nice to the Poms, you have to give em one or they won't come back! ;)

New Zealand could be screwed..........


Don't tell me we're going to have to play the Poms MORE this summer :lol:

[edit] Looks like we are! :o
Wasn't expecting this one I tell you! New Zealand will be right to feel sorry for themselves after this...

Ahh hell, this most likely means a very one sided finals affair. No chance of having a third final now really. Even though England just beat us, I still doubt they will be able to repeat that performance, as well as limit Australia's performance.

They did deserve to get through though, and maybe she came across for these matches? Now it's either earlier flights back or TV time :lol:

The poms have improved though I'll give them that, but I don't see a third final happening either unless they pull out something special. But hey at least they can come away from this summer with some positives! :P

I love it when opposition fans cry. Better when they can hear you laugh at them, but still very funny on the telly. Cronulla fans in the rugby league are the funniest.
