Our bowlers have used that Cardiff pitch fairly well before in this tournament, let's hope for a repeat!
Pakistan mullered us . All credit to them . I am still very happy with the way we played overall , just out played in every dept today .
Perhaps a bit too aggressive both with the bat and in the field today but "Good Pakistan" can beat anyone. We'll see which version of Pakistan turns up for the final.
What an amazing game between Essex and Nottinghamshire . Essex scored 370 , and Nottinghamshire scored 373 , to win by 5 wickets in the final over . The highest ever run chase in a 50 over game in this country .
Of course I wanted England to win , but an India Pakistan final is something special . Esp if Pakistan perform .
They seem to be performing pretty well so far! 338-4 and having India at 6-2 with King Kohli gone. Now 33-3!
Fantastic game for the Nuetral . Although I would like Pakistan to win if I had to choose , purely for the difficult situation at home , and the fact India usually win .
Dhoni out, and the match surely over. Fairly play to Pakistan; not only have they had to beat SA, SL, us and India in effectively four consecutive KO matches, but the latter two victories (assuming this one carries on the same course) have been thumping victories against probably the best two ODI teams around right now.
India have blown this, surely? The run rate has been so slow they can't afford to consolidate and build a partnership, so they have to play their shots.
