Looking forward to a win over Pakistan on Sunday[/QUOTE]

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 <cracker>.
Hopefully after a super R's win!! Can't wait! :grin:

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. <steam>

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 <cheers>

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. :emoticon-0143-smirk
Hopefully it's a good game on Sunday. Even better after a QPR win :emoticon-0148-yes:
 
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.
