34 needed from 3 overs with 4 wickets left.

Yardy what on earth was that? Terrible. England snatching defeat from the jaws of victory

It was always going to happen once the Strauss/Bell partnership was broken, as predictable as night follows day.

Yeah but come on. Yardy what on earth was he playing at there? Knew we were struggling when Collingwood went out to the middle but thought we would get close at least. Terrible.

The fat ladys not singing yet, still need 14 from the last over.

2 big hits have given us a chance here. Even if we somehow pull this out the bag question need to be asked about our mid-lower order. Collingwood was beyond dire and Prior wasn't much better. Hope the tail can bail us out here but I don't see it. Need a boundary 1st ball.

More South Africans are needed.

11 from 4

5 from 3! Outrageous. Go on Shahzad!

Shahzah Shazam!!

5 from 3

4 from 2

2 from the last ball.

2 from 1

Got to run two what ever happens!

Match Tied!

Done well to get a tie from that. We really should have won comfortably given the position we were in.

Bloody Anderson!

Ultimately a great effort by England. They would have been fine if Prior and Collingwood didn't start swinging wildly as soon as they came in. There was no need to panic at that stage, but that's what 2 quick wickets does to a team.

Great game today, both sides will feel they threw it away.

Will stick my head on the block though and say neither of these sides will win the competition....You need a good bowling attack to win a World Cup and neither India or England have that.

One of the best 50 over games I've ever seen in terms of excitement, but we really did throw it away once we took the powerplay.

Best prices:
India 3/1
South Africa 9/2
Sri Lanka 11/2
Australia 11/2
Pakistan 7/1
England 9/1
Windies 25/1
NZ 28/1
Bangladesh 66/1

I'd back the Aussies at those prices. With a little bit on the Windies eachway just in case they get on a roll

Yes, Aussies look the value.....As long as Lee, Tait and Johnson keep firing, then they have a big chance.

Pakistan are awful value at 7's.....We all know full well that at some point they will throw in a highly dubious, 'poor' performance and slink out of the tournament under a cloud....

If you are saying that the Aussies are good value at those prices then surely Sri Lanka are even better value considering they are at the same price.
Far far better spinners than the aussies, a better and more balanced batting line-up than the aussies, home advantage for most of the comp and in Malinga someone who can win a game, quite literally, in one over.
I backed them beforehand and haven't seen anything from anyone to change my mind.

Right, this big daft Irish fecker is taking the mick.

Bloody brilliant thought!
