@GR when you can bowl a maiden over and field everying in the covers or at silly mid on it's got to be good!

I never realised you were a cricket fan Letum

We came good against the worlds worst cheaters (in cricket terms) yesterday.....a 48 run victory over Pakistan.

We are now through to the super eights regardless of the Netherlands v Pakistan result.

For the cons to progress they will have to grab their second chance against the Sri Lankans like we did against Pakistan if they want to progress.

I've actually got the ECB badge tattoed on my right bicep and had TarJak pay homage to it every evening when we were sharing a room in Houston last October.

My tip for the eventual winners has got to be South Africa, based on what I have seen thus far.

I also remain deeply concerned at the prospects of our Ashes chances this summer.

Didn't you say something like that last time I posted a cricket related thread?

We have to beat the Sri Lankans to get beat by the Kiwis. Mind you this 20/20 form of the game is too short to get a proper drink in. That's what i like about the tests. 5 days! Yum!
