Shahazad, Bresnan and Swann hitting big sixes in the last 2 overs, Strauss 158, The Little Master yet another hundred. Just had everything.
Oh hell yeah! Dude, I cannot believe that powerplay backfired like that for you guys! I never knew Strauss had the 158 in him and if he had kept playing his game at the wicket, England would have won the match very comfortably. Thank god for Zaheer and those two wickets that fell back to back. The last two overs were some of the best I have seen in the last 20 years I have watched the sport. I gotta tell you though firefly, if Yuvraj wasn't robbed off the lbw on Bell, it could have been a completely different game.Good times man. Good luck to you guys against South Africa this week. We have a weak one against Ireland.
Straussys been a totally different player since he was dropped from the one-day side. Veeeery aggressive, almost like Trescothick. And Bell wasn't out, it's just an obscure cricket rule that doesn't come out very often because spinners tend not to bowl halfway down the track!!! If the ball impacts 2.5m down the track, there is no LBW.
It's a shame Indias bowling isn't any good or they would have a good shot of the trophy with their awesome batting. As it is I wold take SA, Sri Lanka and even England before India because they NEED to hit so many runs just to defend a total. Just please god don't let Australia win. Sour, angry bastards, all of them.
Some men see things as they are and ask why. I dream things that never were and ask why not?
