[ABBEY]

watched today, yes it was tense but it aint cricket .Its like having a world cup touroment in foooty for penalty shootouts.

[Husky]

Just made a slight adjustment, hope you don't mind?

Joshy went a long way to winning this one. But the thing about this England team is that potentially 7-8 players could 'do a Josh' and win any game from almost any position. The reason I didn't turn off after South Africa has amassed that massive score against us.

Spinners were absolutely dire and almost lost the game - yet the faster bowlers came to the party this time (the opposite of what happened a few games ago).

I'm enjoying this T20 stuff more than last years WC. It's not all bish bash bosh as some of the scores elsewhere will tell you.

Looking forward to India v Oz tomorrow afternoon in what is essentially a quarter-final. Happy Easter!

Virat Kohli I salute you, what an innings to beat the Australians, one of the best knocks I've seen at 20:20 level, superb.

[Husky]

Semi-finals coming up. Anyone could win it from here - even England (amazingly). Though NZ are the only team with a 100% record and have looked pretty damned good - I'll go for an England v India final.

Sincere apologies, I don't normally do this kind of pedantic thing, but the lad is actually called Joseph, and calls himself 'Jos'. There's something about getting someone's name wrong that brings out the pedant in me Heskey.

Agreed, oldhamfan

Heck I bet you even spell Butler with 2 t's.

For an even more obscure fact he wanted to be known as Joe, but his elder sister is called Joanne and calls herself Jo.

Big wicket for England in the semi's. Guptil gone for 15, NZ 17 for 1 off 2 overs

[Gav]

Struggling now, but Ali balling well.

Terrific balling by England towards the back end of the innings, puts us in a great position.

I would back England to chase this down. Came back well second ten overs there.

[Mattyblue]

Superb performance, unreal the change in England's limited over approach this last 12 months.

[Gav]

Superb win against a very good New Zealand side who came into the game unbeaten.

India in the final, if they make it, will be a different proposition, I'm really looking forward to it.

Well done England.

Do you mean 'bowling' Gav? Am sure balling means summat entirely different

Posting on the move with predictive text is never good, but you get the drift.

Great win.

[Steve Kean's Hypnotoad]

Absolutely magnificent from England. A performance that even the English media and England fans will struggle to find fault with. Which must mean it was perfect.

[gumboots]

Not quite since worryingly morgan was out first ball again

[den]

Yeah, but let's not go overboard about Morgan's recent form. He only has difficulty with one ball - the first one.

[Gav]

Morgan took a very good catch and got his bowling options spot on for me.

His batting is a concern, but he has more to his game than just batting.

[Gav]

You can almost hear a pin drop in Mumbai, the Windies look like they're going to win this.

[Salgado Is Still A Hero]

Just saw the highlights there, some performance by that Simmons.

[Norbert Rassragr]

Mumbai has been hit by flash floods after Kholi got smacked for 6.

[Husky]

Well that was pretty amazing - England in the final against Windies (not just a one-man team after all).

Not many people predicted that.

Looking forward to the final on Sunday where the crowd will mostly be against England. Hopefully Windies will field as bad as they did yesterday.

Lost the toss, history shows we're up against it.

Darren Sammy has now won 10 on the bounce.

Come on England, lets get 200+ and make a game of it.

Pretty rubbish start. Turning into a disastrous sporting weekend
