    Nerve ending in ell!!
  • I spent most of this evening listening to the England/India game on the radio. Cracking game and a terrific win!

    I just wish we could play like that all the time.

    Tell you what, dont know what it is about them, but i love beating those w@nkers who think they invented the sport and they think they are the nuts, but really are a bunch of mugs. Unlucky, your shite and your going home, and i am very happy from beleverderedredrderededrederererererererererererererererererererererererererererererereredere!!

    As an aside, were gonna go and lose tomorrow anyway so that mess that up lol

    Depends on both.
  • Very nervous game, they looked too far behind but were still in it when Pathan hit that 6 with 3 balls to go, but we held on. Great display and i'm even more pleased that Harbajhan Singh is going home too. If you're running in to bowl, just bowl it, don't keep walking away you f*cking mug.

    Setup for another thrilling game tomorrow, whatever u say about 2020 anyone who's been watching would have to say its been great sport. As a cricket fan I wouls also say its good for purists too, spin bowlers, proper keepers and some proper shots. The one shame is that had this been on terresterial tv it would have really captured the countrys imagination, sadly though the beeb are stuck with the confederation cup. Don't get me wrong skys coverage is top notch and I have it, but my nephews and many other kids don't and its their imagination this should be capturing.

    surely that harbajan (spelling) singh should be reprimanded for stopping mid bowl just because he didn't like what KP was about to do.

    he should, but he wont, Broad has been penilised for doing the pointing thing when running in, but he is English so thats ok to be frowned upon. Nothing will happen to poxy harbajohn sing. I hate that guy with a passion.

    Off to The Oval in an hour or two. Really glad we've still got it all to play for, after the Holland result I had doubts we'd even be in the Super-8's.

    Staring Kevin Pietersen and Chris Gayle -

    with sky's coverage whenever there's a break in play (or sometimes when there isn't) they just cut to pictures of different women in the crowd. It makes it seem like 90% of the crowd are female.

    Heavy rain on way. I'm about 15 miles east off the Oval and it did not stop for a good 30 mins. Knocked my sky tv out for a while.

    Good innings from the Alan Carr Lookalike, Kamran Akmal. 57.

    Hope it doesn't come to Duckworth/lewis. Would rather chase when the weather forecast is iffy! Does Collingwood know what he's doing?
