If you watched it, it was a very good game of cricket.

Afghanistan just kept enough pressure on during the chase and when they got Root, who was cramping up, then it was all she wrote

I watched with about ten overs to go in England's innings..... Omarzai's last over was a thing of beauty. England needing only 13 runs and him only giving them four.

Fuck me what a catch

I'd say unbelievable, but it's Glen Phillips!

Just watched the replay of Philips catch. That's a screamer. I hated fielding there and he makes it look easy!

Here's hoping for an Aussie win. We have done well in Pakistan over a sustained period, so would like to stay there for the final rather than having to move to India's home of the UAE.

If we get through South Africa of course.

I don’t know man we wet the pants on big occasions against Australia every time but Indians wet theirs against us half the time Though that UAE ground is a tough one, but I reckon if we figure out their new spinner we will be fine, Kuldeep was unplayable at first as well then he’s meh against us

Btw maybe the highlights have it, Kane stopped 2 boundaries including a one hander and a disco dance (sore hands), then took a GP style screamer, all at point too, ADHD is infectious apparently

Kane reaching 20,000 runs

Kane reaching 20,000 runs

I think it's "just" 19,000 runs. But 20k is just around the corner.

Rachin and Kane looking solid here (even if there has been a chance or two!).

 

[Riz]

Hopefully we can go at 10+ for the last 10 overs and set a really big total. We'll need it on this pitch!

 

[ndp26]

Latham strikes again.... Hopefully Phillips and Mitchell can kick off here.

350 looked very doable, now we're building a partnership again. Given where we were at, shouldn't they have sent in Phillips before Latham...

 

[ndp26]

Can always rely on Phillips for some runs (poor bloke is stranded on 49 though!) - solid batting performance from the top and middle order, now just need the bowlers to do a job.

 

[Ever Hopeful]

The figure I had in my mind before play was 360. Above par for sure, but there have been a lot of big hundreds at this ground in the last month and South Africa have got some strike power. Some of them are brilliant flat track bullies and that is what they have.

Still, you probably only need the one bowler. to stand up.

 

[ndp26]

At this stage - no bowlers have really stood up... it is a batter's pitch though, wickets are hard to come by.

 

[ndp26]

Santner. Wow! What a ball to get van der Dussen.

 

[Bay39er]

A good win but the death bowling was woeful
