Madness!

An absolutely bizarre game of cricket going on between England and New Zealand...

A few days ago England comfortably beat a star-studded South African side and bumped them out of the Champions Trophy and now suddenly they have been bundled out for 146.

New Zealand looked like they were easily going to overhaul the target and suddenly Stuart Broad has ripped through their batting lineup and they've slipped from needing 35 runs with 8 wickets in hand to suddenly needing 6 runs with 4 wickets in hand.

Crazy stuff!

hey buddy,

sorry to hear about South Africa but i'm sure you are not that surprised they lost. They haven't really done well in big tournaments. Hopefully, Mickey Arthur can keep his big mouth shut about being the favorites or predicting they will go through to the semis. Too much arrogance. Too much pressure on their players. Smith played a lone hand and the rest were forgettable.

As far as the tournament goes, yes it has been quite bizarre but I feel it has been good for the game that the teams that were written off at the start of the tournament are stepping up. With the hosts gone and an exciting SL kicked out as well, I'm really hoping there is an India vs Pakistan final because lately the crowd attendance has been mediocre and a PAK/IND final just might spark that interest again.

I'm still recovering from shock... not sure who to cheer for now...

In an England vs Australia game I will put on my bright yellow shirt and cheer for the Aussies - death to the Poms!

(Even if they are well led to by a South African boykie)
