Cricket World Cup 2011

[The Left Side]

Crazy game, what a finish!

I'll say well played Tredwell, a much much better bowler than Yardy.

Also Strauss has hopefully realised that Bopara is worth a bowl.

Can we not just either win or lose by a hefty margin? These tight games are killing me!

Wow. i had to pick up my son from nursery and as I was pulling in I heard a review that was turned down (not the 6 but a run out I think). I turned off as they only needed 20 odd at that stage with 4 wickets left. On the way home I flicked through the stations and as I went passed Radio 4 Jonathon Agnew was reading the bowling figures which he sounded downcast with in the nano-second he had to keep me beleiving we could win.

After that I avoided any news- all day- and didn't watch the highlights as I was so bloody peed off with us messing up again.

And then this morning whilst at work I logged on to the Beeb website!!!! Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit.

I bet we still get knocked out now.

Bangladesh are 31/4 off 12 overs chasing 285 against South Africa. So we're as good as through.

[Chris Smith]

All out for 78, England have qualified.

Looks like Sri Lanka in next round.

[The Left Side]

Through to the quarter finals, not sure how!

Looks like Sri Lanka in next round.

Australia  now or Pakistan if West Indies beat India.

[PaulWinch again]

Bloody hell thank god South Africa did the business, because if we were relying on India we'd probably be gone.

[PaulWinch again]

Maybe not actually they've imploded.

[PaulWinch again]

Sri Lanka in Colombo it is. Very tough, but with our side you never know.

[PaulWinch again]

We are the only side not to have lost to any of the other qualifiers.

[peter w]

Indeed. Quite bizarre to go through when you lost to Ireland and Bangladesh but remian unbeaten against India, South Africa, and the West Indies.
