Ponting drops a dolly of a catch at a crucial stage, and failed with the bat. Hope that's not a sign for this summer.

Oh well, it was just a small slip up on our way to glory, but watching the highlights on the news it seems like we really should have won.

For all Cricket fans, the ICC Champions Trophy match between South Africa and Pakistan is currently going on.

After batting first, South Africa remain at 107/5 (30.0 ov), with Boucher and Kemp in (not looking good).

For those interested in following the live scorecard, it can be found here.

Well SA was 5/42 so they have done quite well to get to 5/138 (36.3 overs)
Boucher just got 50

 

[Philhawk]

If they can get to 200, then that wont be too bad a score on these deteriorating pitches.

 

[hawkaz1]

All out for 89!!! Pakistan got dominated.

Ntini got 5/21 off 6 overs, thats pretty intense.

That was one hell of an almighty choke!

Watch for Australia to get thrashed by India tommorow now.

India batting first

Mcgrath is off to a good start but lee must have forgotten to have his weet bix

Bowling
McGrath, GD 0/ 2 (3.0)
Lee, B0/ 27 (3.0)
India 0/36 off 7.2 overs

 

[Philhawk]

Oh well, India couldn't beat Australia.

Looks like Australia is slowly wrangling the upper hand in their battle against the Kiwis in the 1st Semi-Final!

Live Scorecard

Why is this played a year before the world cup and not 2 years before? Like the Olympic and Commonwealth games.

 

[Philhawk]

Windies off to a rollicking start. 65/2 in only the 7th over!

Bracken has taken two wickets so far - but the danger man, the 'Gayle-force Windie' (har har ) is still at the crease.

I should take up stand up comedy.

SIIIIIIIIIIX! Gayle is hitting McGrath to all parts of the park!

 

[Philhawk]

8.4 McGrath to Gayle, FOUR, this is brutal! A rank halfvolley outside off stump disappears in a flash past a despairing Martyn at mid-off, what a player, what force, four runs
8.3 McGrath to Gayle, FOUR, again he drops one short from around the wicket, and Gayle smashes the pull past mid-on this time, ball screams away for four, terrific batting
8.2 McGrath to Gayle, SIX, banged in short again, and this time Gayle rocks into the pull shot in a flash, picking that up from outside off stump for a dinger over deep midwicket, was a perfect ball to pull

MATT DAMON!!!

... err I mean CHRIS GAYLE!!!

 

[hawkaz1]

yes gayle is out! but lara is in and he could do anything

WI 3/ 83 (13.0 overs)

and the last few overs have looked alot better, 2 maidens from mcgrath helped bring down the run rate

| . . 1 W . . | . . . . . . | . . 1 lb . 1 | . . . . . .

and 3/22 for bracken

Anyway I'm glad the west indies early rampage is over

 

[Hawkk]

5/103

What's happened

 

[hawkaz1]
