    The deadest of dead rubbers to finish off the Super Eights...

    Will it be Lara's or Fletcher's last hurrah?

    Or, frankly, who cares? :D

    Opinions?

    Updates later in the day (if we're arsed!)

    I'd like to see a little humility get pounded into Ingerland, but I'm not too bothered really.

    All change for England: Ian Bell, Sajid Mahmood and Monty Panesar are out and in come Stuart Broad, Jamie Dalrymple, Liam Plunkett and Ravi Bopara are in - Bopara to bat at No. 3 (which he fully deserves, to be frank).
    Ed deserved a go....

    Chris Gayle has woken up.

    66 off 45 balls... if he's in the humour, the fastest 100 is there...

    West Indies 110/0 after 19 overs.

    Hes had enough chances and he did not take them. 298-9 at the moment. England have a chance the West Indies bowling is rubbish.

    WI make 300 exactly

    Englands bowling has hardly been world class either now. Their only chance is if KP makes 150ish.

    Michael Vaughan with his dibbly off-breaks.... Englands best bowler!
    10 overs, 0 maidens, 3 wickets for 39 runs.

    Probably. He'll be pushed to get back into the Middlesex side... 3 hundreds in a batsmans dream of a game, Langer getting 300+ for Somerset in 850/7d :eek:

    I'd like to see Flintoff and KP to open.... just for something different.....

    Yeah just sums up their lack of options really. In fact I think it was 3-39 for him.

    England going quite nicely. 93/1 off 14 over. Vaughan with 48 off just 32 balls. He'll screw it up and get out hooking soon enough.

    Reaches 50 off his next ball, dropped trying a lofted drive the ball later.

    Well I'm delighted Vaughan was replaced, but where did they unearth this all rounder.........coincidently, also called Vaughan. :rolleyes:

    Anyway, delighted to see a bit of Vaughan from years back

    Flintoff again is dismissed in mindless fashion. Caught long on off sarwan. Finishes the tournament with an average of 13 with the bat and not a 50.

    189-5

    Well he made 100. Eng need 32 off 22, 7 down now.

    Amazing how much their batting revolves around one man.

    what a kick in the sack for eenglihs fans. Just when it looked like thy would be rid of Vaughen, he knocks off 70 odd in a nothing game too keep himself in the team.
