End of over 35 (13 runs) Australia 193/1 (65 runs required from 15 overs, RR: 5.51, RRR: 4.33) RT Ponting 92* (97b 10x4 1x6) TT Bresnan 6-0-37-0 SR Watson 91* (109b 8x4 2x6) LJ Wright 2-0-9-0

Re: Champions Trophy 1st Semi Final: Australia vs. England, Friday October 2nd, 2009

Australia 202/1 (36.0 ov)
Australia require another 56 runs with 9 wickets and 14.0 overs remaining

Re: Champions Trophy 1st Semi Final: Australia vs. England, Friday October 2nd, 2009

Bresnan to Ponting, FOUR, gets to his **hundred **with a crispy cover drive, gets his bat and body behind a half volley and pierces the gap between mid-off and cover with little effort

Current partnership 201 runs, 35.2 overs, RR: 5.68 (Ponting 101, Watson 94)

Convincing victory. True champions.

Aus are about to win...and so am to win some half a million...hmmmmmmmm

Re: Champions Trophy 1st Semi Final: Australia vs. England, Friday October 2nd, 2009

England acted like a school boy team in the field - whimpering along the whole 50 overs...
Aussies have a mental strangle hold over them
pathetic...

Re: Champions Trophy 1st Semi Final: Australia vs. England, Friday October 2nd, 2009

Anderson to Watson, SIX, gets to his **hundred **with a statement of intent, Anderson drops it a fraction short and Watson swivels and clubs a flat six over deep midwicket, he raises his arms as soon as the ball flies off the bat

What a brilliant 'winning innings' by Ricky Ponting in a major tournament. His 28th ODI century.

Great century by Watson also.

Re: Champions Trophy 1st Semi Final: Australia vs. England, Friday October 2nd, 2009

Yet another Six from Watson

Re: Champions Trophy 1st Semi Final: Australia vs. England, Friday October 2nd, 2009

This winning of Australia over England could be very expensive to them in the Final...hmmmmmmm

Re: Champions Trophy 1st Semi Final: Australia vs. England, Friday October 2nd, 2009

Chalo looks like it is Aussies in the final then

What a disappointment...

Re: Champions Trophy 1st Semi Final: Australia vs. England, Friday October 2nd, 2009

I stopped watching the match. :smack:

Re: Champions Trophy 1st Semi Final: Australia vs. England, Friday October 2nd, 2009

The highest partnership for any wicket for Australia in ODIs is 237. This pair is well within reach of breaking that record.

40.6
Bresnan to Watson, SIX!!, nothing short of a six will do for Watson says Harsha Bhogle! slower delivery and Watson picked it well, slams it over long on, came right off the middle, what an exhibition of batting this from Watson! 23 off that Collingwood over

:konfused: Collingwood or Bresnan?

Cricbuzz: Sorry it was Collingwood who bowled that and not Bresnan! I was caught up in the magnificent batting!

So I’ll edit my post as well!

Collingwood to Watson, SIX, he's making a living out of flat sixes today, friendly short delivery, he clubs it over deep square, no casualties in the crowd this time, thankfully

17 more to win

Re: Champions Trophy 1st Semi Final: Australia vs. England, Friday October 2nd, 2009

Brutal innings by Watson and Ponting.

Re: Champions Trophy 1st Semi Final: Australia vs. England, Friday October 2nd, 2009

Re: Champions Trophy 1st Semi Final: Australia vs. England, Friday October 2nd, 2009
