The Windies seemed to have found their feet in this tournament, cracking result for England, tonights game will be pretty good viewing, Damn this time difference 
SA look the most likely to win this tournament now, they lookd very classy and strong at the weekend.

Mahoosive storm kicking off down here, thunder and lightning for the past hour.
Play has stopped so we may ahve the dreaded Duckworth Lewis system coming into play. That can only work in our favour what with the Windies mathematics skills
That still makes me laugh

Not looking good. If no play is possible each side get a point an we crash out because of the Windies run rate.
We only need 5 overs for a result, they mustn't get to 47..

That score was a joke and the D/L system is useless and favours the batting team. Having said that we had our chance after we had them at 16-3 and let them off the hook with what I think was incredibly shoddy bowling. To have Sidebottom bowl at the end was poor captaincy. In the game against India he let 16 go off the last over. Anderson threw it away in his last over and gave them WI an easy target and left nothing for Broad and Sidebottom to defend. Allowing Chanderpaul to hook from short deliveries was plain stupidity when bowling at a team that plays pace and short stuff well. Other teams bowl full deliveries ball after ball at the end as that is the correct tactic but our lot manage one good yorker all game 
I think WI are more entertaining for a semi finalist anyway as Gayle is the most dangerous batsmen in the competition. Sri Lanka and SA are the two teams that deserve to be in the final for me though plus I can continue to be humoured by Malinga's chucking I mean bowling action

I found it odd that Collingwood decided to bat first knowing rain could play its part. Ahh well, can't say I'm unhappy at England's exit after knocking out India. 
I think SA are still favourites to win but Pakistan could spring a surprise as they're coming into form at the right time.
