Collapso kings
Throughout the World Cup, England have been consistent in one thing only . . . collapsing. Victory over the leading Test teams was rendered impossible as a result.
**v South Africa **
England’s most headlong dive sent them from 111 for three after 32.3 overs to 121 for eight after 37.1 overs.
**v Australia **
England slid from 164 for two after 29.2 overs to 179 for five in 35.3 overs.
**v Sri Lanka **
A platform of 126 for three was wasted after 30.4 overs crumbled to 133 for six after 33.3 overs.
**v New Zealand **
The signs were clear from the first match when England crashed from 133 for three after 34.5 overs to 138 for seven after 38.2 overs.

South African media toasts Smith and his ‘merry
** men’**

JOHANNESBURG: South African skipper Graeme Smith and his “merry men” were toasted by his country’s media on Wednesday after a blitz on the England team saw them burst into the cricket World Cup semi-finals. A day after being lambasted for partying into the wee hours of the morning following a woeful loss to New Zealand on Saturday, South Africa’s press said the Proteas deserved a few drinks after their emphatic nine-wicket victory.
“Proteas drunk with success. Smith’s merry men make it to semis as last round is called,” read the front-page headline of the Star newspaper. The Beeld newspaper quipped that Smith had served the English team their final drink. “If this is how the South Africans play cricket after partying, they can do so after every match,” Beeld said. While reports of a drinking binge by the Proteas – who have had a few wobbly performances in the world tournament – had triggered heavy criticism, forgiveness was quick as a World Cup win came back into the team’s sights. A “sobering” thought indeed, said the Star. “There would have been scores of supporters lining up to buy the South African team a drink last night,” read the newspaper. “After all the criticism they’ve endured, they would have surely raised a glass or three to their victory over England in Barbados yesterday – and who would deny them?” Smith was unabashed about his team’s achievements, saying: “Our skills were superb, and we made our own luck.”
