Seems he's been taking Kirsten's advice then...

Yeah, well if you keep poking and prodding at things when they're sore they'll only get worse.

Prior's out.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Now for England to play Davies at a really stupid position.

DIRK-NANNES · 02-10-2009, 04:29 AM

Hope they bat in this order:

Denly
+ Davies
* Strauss
Shah
Collingwood
Morgan

I'm expecting England to play Davies at 6 (citing not wanting to change the batting order much), but will wait and see.

Oh and it's probably been mentioned already but this game and the final are being covered by TMS.

Opening for Australia is more of a case of not being able to fit him anywhere else as opposed to him needing to open due to his own style.

Bats down the order in Four Day stuff, but has opened the batting for a fair while for Tassie in the one day stuff.

Great news, thanks Scaly

Predictions???
For me Australia will win it
If Pakistan will defeat Newzealand then i want Australia to be in the Final
If Newzealand are going to beat Pakistan, then England should win this semi (that's what i want)
Final Should be Australia Vs Pakistan
or
England Vs Newzealand

Goodness, we're a terrible side tactics wise. Will be hilarious if we knock out the Aussies.

rkparmar · 02-10-2009, 06:21 AM

Bopara only played because Prior was injured.
