    Nailbiter!

    Oh my shattered nerves! Last night's game against Sri Lanka turned out to be quite a thriller.....when Malinga took 4 wickets (off 4 balls) it looked like we might snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, but, PHEW, we managed to hang in there for the last three runs

    I was just sitting there going "You've got to be kidding me."

    Scary moment.

    Cricket can sure be wierd sometimes.

    One thing for sure, it's been a world cup for new records. I doubt there has been a world cup with more records, other than the first one of course

    I had already dozed off, in the secure knowledge that the next SA game would be screened soon, when I heard the first - "oh okay, we are still well in and ahead " coming from the lounge. This progressed to uhoh! Then...... you gotta be kidding me Then.....OH SH*T Then.....I can't watch this, Ooooh NOoooo with each ball.................until a very sedate "oh thank heavens that's it!"

    You gotta love this game!
    Regards

    Well at least we shouldn't need medication tonight. On paper it should be no problem.

    Yesterday must have been pretty tough if you were a Sri Lankan or England supporter. Down to the last ball.

    Amazing what a difference watching a neutral match makes. It was hard to decide what was more entertaining - the play on the field or the England fans during the last two overs.

    I just finished watching the highlights after reading about the result online!

    I don't know why SABC3 are not showing all the super 8 games — they showed a game everyday during the pool games, but now that the exciting stuff is happening.... Would have loved to watch it live, or at least the last ten overs

    No comment on Saturday's game....

    But I did enjoy last night Hopefully this coming Saturday will go well, but New Zealand are looking very dangerous at the moment.

    I reckon we can beat them. All depends which team turns up on the day.
