Whoever plays India in the semis will have the cricket world behind them.

Except in the stadium, they'll all be Indians

Eh, let em have their Irrel Trophy

Australia's win over England in the Champions Trophy wasn't that great - we only beat a world minnow .

Archer hattrick first over

 

[Moonwatcher]

4 wides in the first over

 

[Moonwatcher]

Still 4 balls to bowl.

 

[Moonwatcher]

So that hattrick isn't out of the question

Joffra K'Archer spraying them under pressure

Considered staying home from the SA v VIC final so that I could watch both games. Glad I didn't.

Just the 4 balls that were called as wides in that over from Archer.

Well done to South Australia on winning the inaugural Dean Jones Cup.

Archer strikes

 

[Moonwatcher]

Need a wicket every 17.8 runs. On target so far.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Did England bat lazily?

I love an animal turning up on the field (whether by accident or humanly injected)… but if that black cat is injured or worst by play I’ll be really pissed off.

Really enjoyed Baz's post match comments.

"These guys are too hardon themselves."
"They care too much"

And my personal favourite:
"We might not have totally got it right this time, but you've got to have conviction in something"

Worth listening to some of the UK cricket podcasts - amazing how they have all honed in on the same issues - lack of 50 Over cricket at Domestic level, inability of batsmen to adapt to the game and play at different speeds. The sameness of the bowling attack. Everything seems aimed at the Ashes. The McCullum / Bazball experiment hangs on a knifes edge. Fascinating to watch.
