@Taw England used to be good yea, very good, but in the World cup they didn't perform.
The commentators were going on a lot about how they are still playing "old fashioned cricket" trying not to lose wickets in the first 40 overs and then scoring 90 of the last 10, whereas most teams these days go after the powerplays when only two men are allowed on the boundry.
As for the Aussies...we can beat them, we lost against them due to Smith's cramps and the fact that Kallis didn't seem to recognise that they needed more than a run a ball.
The pitch they will be playing on however will be a slow pitch, which is not good for the SA bowlers or batters. And the Aussies won't have that problem.
In the end I guess it will be the same pathetic thing of "If Smith bats well, the whole team bats well"
@Fd...I don't know baseball. Cricket is intersting in the sense that you often don't know the winner up until the end.
Throw in the games the bowlers play with the batter, the unexpected that happens and also some very awsome shots played by the batsmen sometimes (And then lets also not forget that the New Zealand team has ons of the most handsome men in the world as captain)
I think I'll be voting for a New Zealand vs South Africa Final
