2009 T20 World Cup - England

After the Netherlands' epic upset, the Windies destruction of the Aussies and our dismissal of the Scots, I think the tournament deserves its own thread.

Gulivar · June 8th, 2009, 11:06 AM

I hadnt even paid attention to this little tournament.

SharksBoy · June 8th, 2009, 11:47 AM

thank for creating this thread. I'm surprise England and Australia lost the matches. Well Done SA.

Durbsboi · June 8th, 2009, 11:54 AM

England played well yesterday, expected more from Pakistan to be honest, but the hosts cant go out with out a fight. Some interesting games coming up

juzzy · June 8th, 2009, 07:13 PM

SA will win this tournament... not being biased...they are looking awesome and everyone else knows it, I think out of all the international players in the IPL, the SA players were in the best form

SharksBoy · June 9th, 2009, 07:45 AM

Aussie lost again. So Sri Lanka qualify for Super 8.

haggiesm · June 9th, 2009, 09:17 AM

I don'ty like bashing the aussies but i had to laugh. not so much because they lost, but that they were so surprised. they've never been a convincing t20 team and then ponting says he doesn't understand how they're out of the tournament. i don't think they've figured out how to play this format yet.

Durbsboi · June 9th, 2009, 09:29 AM

lol, I'd laugh at them, the pompus ar$se's! They were beaten and beaten well by both Windies and Sri Lanka, so how he cant see that is mind boggling! I think Symonds was the missing link there, he has that way of turning a match around for them, also Haydens been in smashing form so yeh, but then again they need a change and I wont be surprised that in a few years time these young blokes will come good.

NZ played good but they were playing against the world's best and they paniced towards the end and they lost. I would have loved to see SA against the Aussies in the finals. I believe that we gonna take it this time. Well done to Van Der Merwe.

Freakin' close game last night especially after we posted such a rubbish score. But super happy we beat NZ in the end - put 'em back in their place.

Durbsboi · June 10th, 2009, 09:21 AM

Very close and to win it in the last over is always a nail biter. Weldone to Parnell for keeping his nerve but Roedolf was the star with the ball. Onto the Super 8's

haggiesm · June 10th, 2009, 09:50 AM

good to see us winning when we're not even at our peak. i think an SA vs India final is very very likely.

briker · June 10th, 2009, 10:03 AM

hectic game it was, but they have done well to defend that modest score. just glad the aussies het hulle gat gesien!

haggiesm · June 10th, 2009, 12:39 PM

Here's an article by Ian Chapell. This was before they were knocked out by Sri Lanka and it shows to me that the Australian approach to t20 cricket is wrong.

That's what happens when you play against loosers, not matter how bad you might be doing they will always llose against you.

haggiesm · June 10th, 2009, 02:04 PM

I wouldn't place NZ in that category. Don't think they'll get to the final but they're a very decent side.

SharksBoy · June 11th, 2009, 07:51 AM

India won. so Super 8 starting today... Tonight SA vs England.

Durbsboi · June 11th, 2009, 09:20 AM

Gooooo AB!

If we can get the big hitters out early then we have a chance, KP & Bopara mus'nt get too comfy

SA BOY · June 11th, 2009, 09:38 AM

Caronas are in the fridge and Im ready, feeling sore after watching Shakies get pumped last night

Durbsboi · June 11th, 2009, 12:30 PM

Tell me about it, I was there too, should have stayed at home and watched the CNN report, but got my sis to record it for me
