Just saw the highlights of the game, seems like some awesome fielding from England. Charlotte Edwards for one could give Stuart Broad a few lessons in throwing at the stumps.

Looks like England vs Australia & NZ vs India. Should be good games for the tv cameras. Aussie will be pretty confident after their performance against us in the warmups
Yeah, definitely. England haven't beaten us for a bit, which is interesting considering our losing to New Zealand and India. So should be a very good match.

Good to see the semi-finals as predicated.

Tough to pick who the final is going to be between!

I'll stick my neck out and say NZ v Australia.

SA putting up a reasonable total here. Very impressive batting by Brits and Benade. It's always good to see the 'minnow' teams put in a good effort.

Definitely.

How come SA have been so bad in women's cricket, anyway? I thought sport was quite big over there for women as well as men, but they don't perform anything like as well as teams like New Zealand for example.

Yeah, it's interesting how competitive teams in the men's form, such as West Indies, Sri Lanka, Pakistan and South Africa, are all minor teams in the women's. Not quite sure why that is.

Our batting is very up-and-down so far this tournament. Have a reasonable run rate this match, and Rolton's already hit a six, so we SHOULD post a pretty competitive total.

EDIT: Very pleased with that batting performance in the end. Rolton and Blackwell played awesomely. Fifth highest total in T20s as well, so can't complain overall.

That was one awesome over by Ellyse Perry. Completely against the momentum of the game. Very impressed.

Excellent effort from the Saffas there to get so close. Good to see.

Our batting looks a consideration at the moment, only one of our top 4 getting runs against the Pakistanis, 71/3 after 10.

We're having a bowl first, which I think is good. It's our strong suit.

I really really want us to win this match.

Sounds like a pretty shocking bowling performance so far.

Likewise. Think our batting is our strong suit. Really enjoying this match so far. So good to be able to watch some of it.

Great batting so far by everyone. They've all looked really good.

But as we know, things can change very, VERY quickly in T20.

Oh dear.

Will need awesome contributions from our big three (Edwards, Taylor and Taylor) to pull this chase off.
