Semi Finals/Final - Australia, Sri Lanka, England and Pakistan

[FaaipDeOiad]

Clarke to play a matchwinner here. No sarcasm.

 

[Ilovecric]

I don't think a ball should be wasted in 20/20.

 

[four_or_six]

Who's the guy on the Aussie bench in shorts who looks like Ian Bell? Is he support staff or a player?

[Goughy]

I certainly like T20s far more than ODIs but dont feel anxious or overly excited about this game. Of course Im looking forward to it and hope it is entertaining but it will not ruin my Sunday if England lose. Strange.

Anyway, great start from the good guys. Ive not watched much of this comp so great to see Sidebottom cranking it to the late 80s

 

[Athlai]

Yeah Clarke to silence the critics here.

 

[Furball]

Stop bowling at Clarke's pads.

 

[Ilovecric]

Australia looking to make all of 20 from these powerplay overs. Sweet.

Got 24 ..Good call.

 

[Nate]

In his last ten ODIs, he is indeed averaging 48.00. But he's hitting them at a strike-rate of 68. Regardless, it's not even really about his stats, he looks bad. The pressure he puts on the side, both with his slow scoring and running between the wickets, is inexcusable

Haha, and lol @ Clarke almost running someone else out again.

Clarke's running between the wickets this summer has been nothing short of diabolical.

etc etc etc. This is hard to watch.

 

[pasag]

so, a counter attack would be nice...

 

[Jono]

Commentators laying into Clarke

 

[King Pietersen]

Luke Wright to possibly get an over today? Hasn't bowled in the tournament, but is deceptively quick, and has a good bouncer. Swanneh should come on right now, but Colly should definitely be considering Wright.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Swanneh on. Could be interesting.

 

[pasag]

Quality from Dave as well here, just needs to last until lunch.

 

[Nate]

Clarke out bowled Swanneh caught short-midwicket imo.

 

[four_or_six]

Funny really, Australia used to be a lot scarier than they are now.

It's not the same without Ponting.

Was striking at 21 a few balls ago. Great stuff. Clarke on the other hand, going surprisingly well, striking at 104.

 

[pasag]

Clarke out bowled Swanneh caught short-midwicket imo.

nah, stumped imo. Charging down the wicket for a single.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Tossing it up but Clarke's not game for it. ITSTL.
