Being Neighbours doesn't win you cricket matches IMO.

England and Australia will outplay Zimbabwe I'm fairly certain of that.

It helps in that there will be lot of local support . But I agree that may not change the outcome.

I'd be weary of Zimbabwe in a 20/20 game, and i'd never underestimate them.

Most of the players in the top order are big hitters so if they get a bit lucky they could put a worthy score on the board and the added pressure on the other team knowing they are favourites could throw a spanner in the works.

Thats not a bias prediction, just a possibility.

Hmm England might put up more of a fight against the aussies then one would think. I like the look of this Broad kid and as long as Tremlett and Plunkett don't play they have a resonable line up.

And can someone ban Piertersonrocks?

My tip of the cup is for Matsikenyeri to have a blinder. His dinky and up tempo starts and energy are what 20/20 is all about imo. Plus, he shouldn't have to face the likes of Lee batting at 5 or 6. I could see him, Taibu and Sibanda doing some damage, especially against some of England's bowlers.

Australa & England best XI should be:

AUSTRALIA:

Gilchrist
Hayden
Ponting
Symonds
Hussey
Watson
Clarke
Lee
Hogg
Bracken
Hilfenhaus - could be Australia's surpise package with the word that conditions in SA ATM would assist his type of bowling.


ENGLAND:

Maddy
Prior
KP
Freddie
Collingwood
Shah
Wright
Mascarenhas
Snape
Broad
Anderson/Kirtley - regardless of his superb superb Anderson bowling in the slog over is still bad, Kirtley they say is a death specialist these days so hopefully if picked he lives up to that rep..

Aussies have some injury problems atm, with Clarke,Hayden and Watson in doubt for tomorrow's game but since they are facing Zimbabwe tomorrow they can afford to rest these blokes.

6pm, 10pm and 2am games.

The Aus match against Zim is at 2am, the one against England is at 10pm. I think they're on Ch.9 as well.
2 a.m.? There is no such a time when you're 37!!!! It's some sort of trial sent to test those of us who normally fall asleep on the lounge at 9.30 with a cup of Milo waiting for Lateline to come on.
