Ryder's injured, so he aint doing none of that running shit. Settling for hitting massive sixes instead :thumbsup:

Also it looks like he's growing a Merv Hughes 'tash :cool:

I dunno what those dumbass commentators are getting at.... They said batsmen shouldn't get runners unless they're "genuinely injured" :hmmm:

Are they implying that he's faking it? :angry:

Pretty clear he's in pain out there. Those two dongfaces need to STFU.

Ryder

50 in 28 balls for Ryder, despite a groin/leg injury and being in pain. Nice one! :cool:

76/0 off 10. Solid start, need to kick on now.

Argh. 3 wickets fall quickly. :cry:

Goddamn it. I wish they'd stop fucking doing that :hmmm:

That was some fine cricket overnight. And some mighty fine sportsmanship from Vettori too.

Also, do the English players have ridiculous names or what? Graeme Onions? Ryan Sidebottom? WTF :lol:

Close game against Pakistan. Losing Taylor wasn't ideal, batting lineup is rather thin in the middle.

We're through! Was good to follow the last 15min on Cricinfo. Maybe they have some "steely reserve" after-all? Australia in the final. The ducks-entrails have been laid out and sifted through and we could be OK. The last (& only?) time we beat Pakistan in a World event semi was the year we went on to win the Champions Trophy.

Huzzah!!

I think losing 5 or so top players has really taken the pressure off them, and has also given some of the second teir a chance to step up...

If they ever pick that mong Oram ahead of Elliot again I'll be :angry:

Woo! Go you bastards!

If the movies have taught me anything it's that underdogs who have been written off by everyone and who have struggled all tournament long are virtually guaranteed to win, or at very least to achieve a moral victory and learn some important life lessons.
