Biff is back, leaner and meaner and he is coming to get Strauss.
Now that SA is out who will we support? I'll feel like a traitor if I support England. So it will be either Sri Lanka or New Zealand then. Who ever will make it to the semi's will gain some Saffer support.
Pakistan Bon?
ReplyDeleteWhy you think Strauss didnt allow the runner?
He was determined for the win, no matter what. If he wanted to make sure SA got kicked out of the tournament Eng must have won with 11+ runs. I think he wanted that win no matter what.
ReplyDeleteBut as I watched the drama unfold I wondered in the back of my mind if the English Management might have stepped in after the Matthews incident and told him never to do it again, it might have ended well that time but next time it could end in disaster.
I am not trying to make excuses for the loss (if anybody was thinking it). England did out-bowl us and out-played us.
I'm going with SL too.
ReplyDeleteAre you getting used to the heartbreak as I am? This is becoming ridiculous really!
Such is life.
ReplyDeleteStrauss is a prat but the problem remains Smith's obesity. If he was fit he would not have cramped.
ReplyDeleteSupport the poms ! they take people who can't make it to the SA XI anyhow!
ReplyDeleteHow many in the English team are true Englishman..4? 5?
you have people from Indian,Pakistani,South Africans,Irish,Aussie origin in their team..is it a lack of local talent or other countries missing out!
i bet other boards can also have their norms relaxed to get more people in their teams from other countries as well!
lets wait and watch!
Now, I want England to win the CT if India crash out today! (which sadly looks more likely! :( )
I love Strauss (not as much as Morne)...
ReplyDeleteI still don't know how SA and SL lost to ENG...???
My money is on Pakistan but i know in the back of my mind Aus will win! YUCK!
