Another good warm-up win for England this morning v Pak, who beat India on Monday. SOme good figures from Danny Briggs again, his four overs only cost 15 runs, this coming after his first 3 overs v Oz on Monday only went for 15 (wont talk about his last over !) Him and Dernbach could be real stars this tournament. England have a very young team, and if they can keep together, then i would suggest they will be favourites in 2 years time - maybe not quite enough nous yet for this year, but you never know.
Aus should win this match, but were ranked below ireland recently. Other than Watson and Warner, their batting aint great. I picked Pakistan at the start, but England kept them to below 100 earlier. SA have the best palyers but are bottlers... this is too tough to call. Any team excpet NZ and AUS can be expected to reach the final
Very frustrating that Ireland are off home despite not getting to finish their match, was a pretty reasonble start before the rain interrupted. Just doesn't seem fair.

Cheers for that.
Surprisingly I never questioned that before to find out.
WI won the toss & will bowl.
WI just hit 205 v Aussies. Gayle, Pollard, Bravo hitting 6's all over the place.
Looks like SL v WI final.
WI 8-1 off 4 overs.
Windies 61-2 off 13
WI 108-5 off 17 - Samuels is 78 not out !
Windies now favourites as SL need more than 10 an over.
