Semi Finals

[simmy]

This game just hasn't given me a semi-final like feel, is it the same with you guys??

Probably because England arent in it

.....

Haydos....... i have ran out of words to praise this man.

Should/would break Sach's record of 600-something runs in this WC IMO !

Ponting bowled!

Ponting bowled!

Too late? Too soon?

NO. . . . . Ponting gone, this ain't good for Australia.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Good yorker from Nel, but a fairly ordinary shot from Punter it must be said.

 

[pasag]

NO. . . . . Ponting gone, this ain't good for Australia.

Haha, settle down Pup. Only 105 runs needed with Symonds, Hussey and Watson still to come with Hayden and Clarke still in.

 

[pup11]

Comeon Haydos and Pup guide us to a win without any further drama.

NO. . . . . Ponting gone, this ain't good for Australia.

Doubt that. Aus should still win comfortably from here.

Ha, I love the live text on the bbc website. This was about the last wicket:

8th over: WICKET - Ponting b Nel 22, Aus 44-2

Angry strikes! Ponts plays all round a middle-stump full one and has his timbers scattered - and Nel goes doolally. He pumps the air like a man trying to punch his way through a brick wall, sweat pouring off his grimacing face, mouth open shouting. His team-mates grab him before he combusts.

 

[pup11]

Shot from Pup, touch of arrogance in that shot from Pup.

Another cracker:

10th over: Aus 50-2
In comes Clarke, but Hulk takes charge - boffing Kallis straight again for another protein four. NB when I wrote "Langers drops shorts to Ponting" in the fourth over, I did of course mean "short". Unfortunately.

 

[Pratters]

As long as they don't say Taito, it is all good.

 

[Anna]

He's getting a bit distracted now

12th over: Aus 57-2
Hulk pushes Kallis into the covers and saunters off for a single, leaving Clarke haring for the other end. De Villiers scampers in, flings on the dive and misses by the width of a standard oven ship. Clarke was a goner if that had hit. In the stands, a member of the Fanatics uses his hand-held camera to surreptitiously film a young lady nearby.

 

[pup11]

They may say Taito mash them like PO-TAIT-O!!

 

[Pratters]

AGHHHHH MARK NICHOLAS.

"lush landscapes"

"kind of an upturn saucer"

"if you time the ball well, it will speak to the boundary"

 

[pup11]

.....

This game is the most boring match of this WC that I have watched!

15th over: Aus 69-2

If this game is over in the eyes of many, no-one's Angry. Super over, all snarls, stares and steeplers. Clarke blinks politely.
