Into the Semi's SA!

Today's pseudo quarter-final showdown between SA and England tettered down to a toothless affair, SA (phew!) brutally dominating.
Following the game on www.cricinfo.com the yawning commentators on the bal-for-ball commentary started amusing themselves with some clever verbal wit - to make up for England's kindergarden display. There was quite a few gems! Here's some:
  • " Who spends the most time on the crease of anyone in the English team? The person who ironed the cricket whites." Honk!

  • I've heard that the English Cricket Board are making a help-line available for fans who are disappointed with the performance of the English team. The help-line number is 1800 10 10 10. That's 1800, won nothing, won nothing, won nothing."

  • South Africa need a huge one run an over now. Where's your money?

  • Flintoff snatches back his cap, puts it on his head, keeps his head bowed and he's grateful to have something to hide under.

Describing the incurving balls Andrew Hall was able to produce: Hall to Anderson, no run, that one shapes away from Anderson, lovely shape, Monroe-esque curvature there, and Anderson's naturally tempted.

Unfortunately, SA gets to play Auz in the semi's...
