MAGNIFICENT.......

 

Fingers crossed Wood is fit for the final, big player for us.

 

That is a thrashing of the highest order..... utterly brilliant from Skip and Hales.... what a performance

 

Just in case you missed it….

 

Better do some work.....

 

Fantastic win & a complete thrashing

 

Well that’s set me up nicely for my therapist appointment….she’ll be surprised at my good mood

 

That's a fantastic win by England, silenced the crowd and the critics. India can only blame themselves for a slow start to the batting and superb batting from Hales in particular. Looking forward to a win over Pakistan on Sunday

 

A smile and wave boys, smile and wave

You'd think so Ranger, and the way England played today, should have no doubt.
BUT, Pakistan played very well against the Black Caps.
Babar and Rizwan have all but matched Hales and Buttler imo.
This will go down to whoever fields better and can hold their nerve in the final overs.
Either way, should be a cracker .
Hopefully after a super R's win!! Can't wait!

 

Very good Taff. That was quick.
Someone must have had this planned for a while.
And it paid off. Well done!

BTW, well done on your Swans comeback against Wigan and point against Brum. Wish we could have done the same, but as you know, we are QPR. Shipping goals as usual.

 

Cheers - we are useless at defending crosses at the moment: feels like 4 points dropped really!

Can’t complain, we are doing better so far than most of us expected

 

Still better than dropping 11 in the past 4 games.
You sure we don't have the same defensive coaches.

That's true but they rely so much on their 2 openers and often don't post much of a score if those 2 fall cheaply. The games we lost yo them recently are where we couldn't get them out early on and they pummelled us. They have an excellent bowling attack but if we remove their openers reasonably cheaply I fancy us to win strongly !

Firstly, that wasn't my quote at the top. Credit to Ranger4ever.
Now onto your reply.
Their middle order does crumble easily, but if the top two get a start, then middle order can hold their own if there's no rush. Their bowlers are also starting to fire at the right time. so wouldn't be laying too much money on an England win, esp. as fate got Pakistan into the last 4. How the F did SA lose to the Netherlands?

Besides, I think you're just trying to get a few ponies and the odd monkey from some gullible punters. Just glad I don't gamble.
Hopefully it's a good game on Sunday. Even better after a QPR win

 

The weather not looking great in Melbourne for the final unfortunately. Melbourne wicket has been a bit sticky and 2 paced, and is where we lost to Ireland ! Let's hope the weather holds up and we gain revenge for the 92 50 over World Cup Final.

You sussed me out lol.

 

Had stuff to do, so recorded our innings and just watched it.

Absolutely ****ing awesome.
Buttler and Hales take a bow.

How'd you like them numbers Virat you cockwomble.
