well - who doesn't. and the answer is obvious - they're the better team - in each case -and everyone knows it. {the best team} just consider yourself lucky you're not named 'chokers' for it..others have been even though they never really were likely to win.

It's called being Englsih.

Well he did not sell his wicket cheap - 31 off 19 balls I think.

I wonder why he did that in the first place Oliver - with no pace in the pich always better to chase - he will now know that's obvious.

England all out for 135.

135 all out, utterly horrendous. I think it's been a mixture of great bowling and poor batting. The problem now is that it's such a low score that if Aus get off to a flyer they could put us out of the tournament if they score the runs really quick.

Fantastic effort from the Aussies.

Would be magnificent to knock England out

[south beds mikey]

We have our answer guys, Sky are saying 9.3 overs is the magic number. Ironically our best chance of winning is if the Aussies go for it.

That all depende how England bowl.if they keep it simple like Australia did - then England will still get through if they make Australia fight for every run.

Well i can't see Australia scoring the runs off 9 or so overs to knock us out but you never know,i think they will be more determined to just win and get through to the next stage instead of taking too many risks.

Australia should win this from here but a couple of early wickets could change things.

I'll give you that one Ern.
He was the only one of much use.
Our only hope is if they don't get there in time. (States the opbvious, just like the new SKY female commentator.) Flintoff could help us with the ball.

I, as an English (actually half Welsh but then it is the English and Welsh Cricket Board...) person says WE CAN DO IT!!!
