Is that it?
Are we out?
Ah well, good game, all credit to Pakistan. Just one too many low scores in England's top order.
The team qualifying in 4th place will lose at the very least three games ( or equivalent in no results/ ties).Needed one more fifty from them.
To be fair our fielding let us down, get Hafeez out when Roy dropped him we win. Not like us so I am not to worried.
I reckon we will get to the last 4 and then it is all down to who plays best on the day. I reckon we can afford to lose 1 more, maybe 2 and still get through to the last 4.

I think the four will probably be out of NZ, Aussies,Windies, India and England. I agree with you, still think we'll get through to the last four, but then it's anyone's. Most teams have at least one player capable of getting a quick fire big hundred. If they happen to come off, then it makes it tough for opposition. While I would just about agree with the favourites tag, I do think the media have over egged our invincibliity
Just seen Cottrell's catch to dismiss Smith (Aus vs WI). I think it trumps the Stokes one...

You're a hard man to please Ernie! You said about Stokes's catch that despite being good he'd made it harder for himself by being in the wrong field position to start with!Naah, not as good as Ben's. The fact that he threw it up cos he was crossing the boundary was quick thinking but technically the catch was straightforward.
