    A shame that McKechnie wasn't a good enough batsman to deal with a legal slow ball. :emoticon-0131-angel

    I must really be an old fart but at least l'm comfortable with it

    Must admit l have no time for T20, a little of time for one day cricket and a wealth of time for full five day test match cricket,
    especially The Ashes ..... the pinnacle of cricket.

    We all have our choices for which the selection of game formats caters to all.
    I played it for the best part of 10 years and enjoyed it.
    I'm just old school, l guess.

    As Richie would say, Marvelous that!

    They'll be so up for the final, either against India or us.

    I very much want England to win tomorrow, but an India/Pakistan final would be a massive occasion.

    Obviously want England to win , but backed India pre tournament as to me they have the strongest side. Malan almost certainly is out and Wood pulled up with body stiffness in training. He would be a missive miss if unable to play. Adelaide has seriously short square boundaries so am expecting a high scoring game. If the ball swings how will we cope with India's 2 opening bowlers ? We haven't done well at all in the past with a moving ball. We really need Buttler to shine !

    Looks like Wood is fit, so that's a plus.

    Or not......

    Jordan can be absolutely pitiful, let's hope he bowls well today.

    Ffs Wood is out and Jordan is playing ! Oh deary me. Jordan can go all round the park and doesn't have Wood's pace. Salt is in for Malan. I don't feel very confident now

    Me either. Buttler and Hales will need to bat well and stay in a while methinks.

    I just wrote 'methinks'. There's a word you don't see used much anymore.......since 1833, I guess. Suddenly I feel old. :emoticon-0102-bigsm
