seems a flaw that NZ had a far superior run rate for just scraping through, because it was overs left rather than wickets. I think that there is too much use of the calculators - NZ could have bowled 12 at the stumps yesterday and if Australia had won, they could have tried to beat that today. If still even, use the run rate!
If Australia didn't have such a hard chase they would have probably won that game today.
just got some tickets for tomorrow at the oval via the official site for the ICC. It was sold out but i guess people from other nations are giving tickets back and it looks as if there is still some available if anyone wants to go.....
Bloody weather forecast has changed massively! Now due to rain heavily all night and up to about 9/10am. Could be late start. Even if it was rained off we'd go to the final though. Hopefully won't come to that.
unsure about the weather, but it looks like we'll get a match. I have a feeling that this will come down to Trott vs Amla. Whoever plays the best of the two will take the game out of the other teams hands. I think Finn is in for Bresnan, which in my mind is an improvement
that's a very important wicket to get so early on, great bowling from finn and Anderson in their first overs, dream start and now have to make it count, come on England!

Sri Lanka play India in the SF.

Missing it already.
Looking forward to tomorrow at the Oval. Supposed to be decent weather.
