Champions Trophy

70-6 SA IN THE SHIT.

76-7  30,2 overs great stuff

80-8 22.3 under a ton lets hope

Getting boring now, need a couple more sixes to liven it up.

England triumph against South Africhoke.Easy win in fact,SA couldn't cope with Jimmy or the underrated Treadwell,who must retain his place for the final no matter how much Swann may whine.General assumption seems to be that India will be England's opponents but not so sure myself,Sri Lanka have some very dangerous players and can turn anyone over on their day.Whatever,should be a couple of good games to round off a pretty good tournament.

Easy win for them thur Injuns,two quite disappointing semi finals really.Can England's bowlers shake the powerful India batting? I think that will be the key to the match,right conditions and England will have a chance,but at the moment i would say that India are favourites,just hope it's a better match than the semi's.

Greeenskin....I think you are talking to yourself.I haven't got subscription TV, so basically couldn't give a damn who wins.

I reckon England ought to be favourites myself - India haven't faced a decent bowling line up yet (SA were without Steyn and Morkel got injured after few overs) and I'd back Anderson/Broad/Finn to rip through the top 3. I can't say the same of India and England's top 3.

Not very patriotic but Samuel Johnson did say that patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel.

Joe Root has looked good in the games so far. Good for experience before taking on the Aussies

India will murder us.

Thanks to the unsettled weather, if we win the toss, we have a decent chance.

Greenskin...none of these matches are live  on the BBC/ITV/Channel4/Channel5.etc etc etc.Despite cricket being one of the great national sports it is no longer  considered a jewel in the crown and has been sold to Murdoch.Absolutely disgusting Capitalism at its best and feck all the rest.

It easy to watch on lap-tap, tomorrow Lions connect to TV via a VGA Cable.
Must make sure the new lap-top or Tablet have a HDMI connection.



Premium League are to take Firstrow web site to court to stop live streaming of football matches.

Don't disagree in principle,at least a part of the major matches should be shown live on terrestrial TV.Having said that,it has to be said that Sky's coverage of the game is different class-i can't really imagine the terrestrials covering the overseas tours,all formats of county cricket,women's cricket,U19 tests etc to the extent that Sky do.An awful lot of money is ploughed back into cricket from Sky,which cricket needs in order to compete with other sports to remain as blue ribbon and attract the best talent possible-swings and roundabouts i guess,maybe the success of the IPL coverage will encourage ITV to bid competitively against Sky next time the process is in situ,not sure when that is though.

Well, we've won the toss. That should even things up a tad.

India: 53-2 (9.1 overs) amazed they finally got someplay but will there be enough time to finish the game before 2030hrs?

Ind 66-5 (13/20 overs) Ravi Bopara is doing a number on India

cook Out 2-1 after nearly 2 overs 130 to gain to win.

bugger

How crap was that? Can't score against spin.
