Its coming home.
Believe!

Yeah I believe - we are gonna win it

(I love NZ though...)

 

[Gb160]

you and you're 'believe'............you sure you are a Spurs fan?

Its all that keeps me watching Steve, if I didn't believe we could win it I wouldn't bother.

What you're displaying is a very transparent defence mechanism Steve, it's just to make you feel a bit better if we don't win it.
Let it go and jump on the hype train!!

Can’t! shan’t!

All swinging in England's favour at the moment, but the batting mentality has to be bang on.

 

[glospur]

Well, this is fucking rubbish, isn't it?

Although if the dross that you lot have got rolling the arm over can have us in this much trouble, I'm looking forward to Starc and Cummins making a mess of your top and middle order.

How is Woakes not getting 10 overs?

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

Australia 5/1? Gotta have some of that just in case we fuck it up, which wouldn't be the biggest shock in the world.

England - Hold my beer...

You know it's coming.

England need to play first 30 overs like a test match - keep their wickets and punish the odd bad ball.
If they go hell for leather it could backfire.

Can Roy and Bairstow do that?

On the other hand, they could take the game away from Australia in the first 15 overs. It could really go either way, I think 5/1 Australia was generous but then again it might not look that way in an hour or so's time

you are right, england 6/1 to win in 30 overs also

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

tempting but I feel that would be tempting fate too, I'm sticking with my £10 at 5/1 to soften the blow if we lose

They're probably going to have to during the Ashes soon.

Read a stat that Australia have defended a score less than this one in WC semi finals on three occasions. Here's hoping this is the fourth.

the game has changed since then

 

[Barmy_in_Palmy]

This game really isn’t close. For Australia to win England are going to have to do a Barcelona Ajax combined collapse.

Watching that cheating turd getting walloped truly is a thing of beauty.

What a greedy use of a review when you’re carrying an injury
