and red on the winners

That would upset me a little. But don't think they'll beat India. Should they do so then they would stand a good chance. NZ in final maybe?

Very close to call IMO without India. England still have to beat SL.

True and that would be my worst scenario.

Nothing you can do when so much is so blatantly fixed.

I've partly redeemed a staggering run of bad form (bad enough not to want to count it up but probably about £8k) this tournament, so I'm loving it, although my back of Pak at 20s wasn't my best call ever.

No I havent lost to the fixes. In fact I made money on the Ind-Pak game. NZ and SA have burnt me. Need to concentrate on my studies now. Hopefully IPL wont lure me in and ill be back for the England tests :D

not totally out of the question England could still win thisbig nagging doubt is the bowling tho'

You don't need to be a great team to win it. England should make the semis and it's then two shoot outs in a pretty random format.

Our reluctance to pick Tredwell and play Dawson will bite us.The Saffers have that mental block too. JP instead of one of Weiss or Morris would have won that match.

JP was injured.

There was a lot of panic. Prices were all over the shop with SA becoming favourite with 20 needed off 2 then going up to over 4s I think before Samuels being out put them back to about 2.3, favoured again with the dot first ball of the last over then not quite so interesting after that. The tie came in to under 7s at one point too.

You must have been having kittens FS. It looked a cakewalk at one stage

As mentioned above and alluded to on England SL thread, I wasn't loving the wickets to totally unnecessary shots when extremely well placed but you can't go getting too agitated about a mere grand.  I lose more than that on football all the time and even then, I only throw my phone across the room when there's something soft for it to land on.  Was an absolute packet to be made laying WI before Bravo out but it just seemed so near a certainty at that point that I didn't even think of it seriously.
