Typical England collapse.

How can a whole squad turn crap all at the same time?

 

[Melon Donkey]

Absolute crap.

Bottled the Ashes, bottled this .

Terrible year.

Yesterday England WON....

Wow, SA making a huge mess of their semi-final - 24-4

Shame it's Australia who are the beneficiaries.

Was just about to post the same thing. Could be short game.

I'd rather Australia win than the Saffers tbh, but have SA choked again by winning the toss and batting on the only overcast day they've had in the tournament. ?

Oh yeah, can't bear the Saffers, but none too keen on the Aussies either.

Just hope India win it on Sunday.

I think India look unbeatable. Its like all their best players have hit their best form at just the right time.
And now bloody rain has stopped play.

And they get to play on a pitch of their choice.

 

[astonion2]

And Aus thrash India. Unbelievable Jeff.

 

[The Fear]

Yeah, bit of an anti climax of a final. Felt sorry for the host nation, but fair enough, congrats to Australia. (Which is an awful thing to say!)

Stunning innings by Travis Head. As a fellow member of the left handers opening batsmen society I have to applaud that.

At least you don't sport a moustache. Very poor from Head, just needs a mullet to complete the look

I actually fancied Australia to win today. Just the fact that India hadn't really been tested in the tournament led me to think they may struggle if they were put under pressure.

 

[JuanPabloAngel]

Yup, Aussie bowlers were on it today. And fair play to Head and Labuschagne, it could have gone horribly wrong as Bumrah and Shami had their tails up early doors.

Atmosphere seemed electric for much of the game. Although did make me chuckle when the attendance went from 110k to 120k to 130k, depending on who was on comms

Disappointing start to the ODI's v West Indies. Stunning how out of form the undoubtedly excellent Buttler is. We were in a good position to win that

I did'nt know they were playing until it was over and I saw the result. Will check out the fixtures now.

Few ODI's and 20/20 doo dahs up to 21st of December.

 

[The Fear]

That was better, and great to see Buttler get a confidence boosting knock.
