This is not likely to pan out as a great day for England.

As much as everyone is bored by the idea of NZ v SA in the rugby final, I would love to see it for the cricket. I really hope one of those two sides can win the whole thing.

This is a quality meltdown by England with years of history behind it. A hugely deserved walloping. Well done SA, I'm off to watch Tigers v Sale

That last wicket ~70 run blitz prevents Eng from being bottom by 0.002 NRR :shifty:

Oh come on, they restricted SA to like a million or something, and managed a brave 20 odd in reply, looking like a red letter day for English sport. :think:

Increasingly looking like India, SA, NZ, and possibly Oz in the finals.

Wouldn't it be great to meet the Proteas in the Final, though? The game's two biggest World Cup chokers going hard. I'd lose sleep to watch that.
