Couple of spectacular outfield catches by Carey, with Inglis wearing the gloves.

What has happened to the SACA's? Hosting the OD final at Adelaide Oval and one win from last 2 games or 2 good draws in the Sheffield Shield and they will host the Shield final in Adelaide, probably Karen Rolton Oval.

Dizzy built a decent base or Ryan Harris is a master coach? Plenty of players transferring states has helped.

I listened on ABC to most of the poms innings but didn't listen to any of Oz's innings.

To chase down 350 with bugger all from Smith and Head and only a 30 odd n.o. from Maxwell says Oz would be confident chasing any score and win the Champions Trophy.

Will try and find some video over the rest of the tournament as I'm not paying for a Amazon Prime subscription, and post it here.

The ICC website has some good highlights - including Carey's couple of catches as all wickets are in this 7 minutes highlights package. There are several highlights videos on right hand side inc

He is a menace in short form game

 

[Rising Power]

At Adelaide Oval having witnessed Mitch Owen score 149 off 69 and probably enough to take the game away from SA.

Pope will clean em up...

Why isn't Owen playing in the Champions Trophy???

He might get a replacement call up like JFM did, on the cheap

 

[Duckimus Prime]

Why isn't Owen playing in the Champions Trophy???

He has batted in 15 List A innings, for a grand total of 326 runs. Including today's 149 and 48 in the previous game.

When the squad was selected he had scored 127 runs in 13 innings for an average of just over 10 (he has 2 not outs in those 13 innings).

Umpires ignored a plum lbw before he reached his century.

 

[Festerz]

A ripper delivery only matched by the understated reaction of the bowler that has, unsurprisingly, upset Indian fans.

Kuhnemann cleared of suspect bowling action by ICC

He underwent tests in Brisbane which revealed that the amount of elbow extension for all his deliveries was within the 15-degree

Is there anything more enjoyable than watching England bow out of a tournament in yet another close loss?

I am with those that detect more than a whiff of hypocrisy in the Sri Lankan stance. This mob were happy to reap the reward from the most blatant chucker ever to play the game so they are not in any position to criticise others. Maybe it is a bit of pay back for the little chucker being no balled in Adelaide?

I can accept a bowler's action being questioned by any other nation but not by Sri Lanka- the home of the most blatant chucker of all time.

Good news.

It's like Stephen Rowe accusing someone of stupidity .

His face is right next to the word in the dictionary

It's like Stephen Rowe accusing someone of stupidity .

I have to add that there is no record that the Sri Lankan team lodged an official complaint however Bharat Sundaresan has claimed that several 'unnamed Sri Lankan players' questioned some of the deliveries bowled by Kuhnemann. Hypocrisy at the very least.

Apparently Kuhnemann was cited by Umpires Joel Wilson and Adrian Holdstock. Holdstock officiated in the First Test but did not raise any concerns so you have to wonder if that man Wilson was the instigator. This is the same Joel Wilson who once had two decisions overturned by the DRS in two balls!

Maligned cricket umpire eviscerated for ‘atrocious’ double blunder

Joel Wilson was made to suffer the indignity of an umpire’s worst nightmare.

Wilson does not seem to get too much right.

 

[Greasyrhys]

C’mon SA, would love to see us win a rare title!!!

 

[raptalia]

Aus V Afghans rained out with no result. Australia 1/109 after 13 overs chasing 274 were in a strong position. One point apiece puts Australia into the semi final after only one result from three matches.

Meanwhile the Bazballers need a win against an in form South Africa tonight to avoid going home without a single point!

 

[philreich]

So who would we prefer in the semi final - NZ or India?

 

[glitch01]

Definitely NZ.
Indian team have a huge home ground advantage playing all their games here.
Nice hotel, close to the ground and training facilities.
Same ground for every game
Tickets for all games so far sold within hours. Scalpers having a field. day
