If so, I'll be hoping we maintain the form we showed in the recent one day series in Oz...

As long as Ponting doesn't lose it again... :roll:

Well, one thing's for certain, there won't be an England/Australia semi. :tea:

:think: I thought they could only have met in the final. India will now be playing Pakistan, it's the winners of NZ v SA against the winners of England v Sri Lanka in the other semi.

Hmmm ... Tendulkar has more lives than a cat it would seem. He survived two reviews in consecutive balls, and has since been dropped three times by the Pakistani fielders.

The Pope was today knocked down at the start of Christmas mass by a woman who hopped over the barriers. The woman was said to be, "Mentally unstable."

Which is probably why she went unnoticed among a crowd of Christians.
