Well my prediction went pair shaped yesterday... Didnt expect the Sri Lankans to leave out their best bowlers...

Today

England will win... Im going to go for a traditional Pietersen century against his friendly friends

Yas786 · 17 Apr 2007 at 14:41

Well already 2 maidens and no runs :eek:

, not the best start

Vaughan pre match: "I hope we can entertain a few people".

5 overs gone, in a power play where the fielding team is restricted and we have a run rate of 1. Vaughans faced 16 and barely even managed to block one.

Match has just started an there's pressure mounting on the middle order as they'll have to make up for this joke of a start. Ah well don't worry we have the explosive Strauss next and his awesome dab to third man shots.

OMG Vaughans got a run, only taken him whats felt like 3 weeks.

Vaughan get's 2. :eek:

BREAKING NEWS: vaughans off the mark!

ringo747 · 17 Apr 2007 at 14:59

it really is boring stuff chaps - i say get fred up the order. At least if he gets out he will be out knowing that he attempted to hit the ball not like these two numptys!

edit: bell gone!

Yas786 · 17 Apr 2007 at 15:00

9 off 6 overs :eek:

Terrible start

el_dazza · 17 Apr 2007 at 15:00

Bell's gone, 9-1 from 7 overs, and Vaughan's pathetically CRAP.

Pigeon_Killer · 17 Apr 2007 at 15:00

Only Pietersen left to get us the runs now. Bell out for 7

lemonkettaz · 17 Apr 2007 at 15:01

Oh no, what a horrid start

Starzy · 17 Apr 2007 at 15:12

Vaughan hitting two fours?!. WTF is going on... :eek:

the first of those was a beauty too! hope he gets a big score today

Good recovery by England after losing an early wicket 35/1 so far, not bad.

Pigeon_Killer · 17 Apr 2007 at 15:23

Time for the muppet to retire. Absolute waste of space.

spoke too soon!
Vayghan gone

No surprise there, vaughan out. Now we can enjoy some action rather than tedious singles off an entire over.

Kaboom! Vaughan gets off the mark after a mere 20 deliveries, getting a thick edge through gully for one. You can't defend against those sort of fireworks. Bell does the same, and England are rampant.

Lol true, however if KP gets out early, then it is goodbye Vienna.

Red and White · 17 Apr 2007 at 15:29

my god

Vaughan needs to take a good hard look at himself

"13 South African born players on the field." And it flouts the South African board's regulations on quotas as well, so two of them will have to go.

Hehe 13 SA's on the field, that 13th would be a certain KP
