That semifinal in Sydney was 1992, Manners, so it’s 32 years of missing good fortune, not 25!

I can still remember Meyrick Pringle's face... Gutted! the beginning of the Duckworth Lewis curse

Still find it hard to believe that India get a pre scheduled semi final when no one else does and only one of the semi finals has a reserve day. If India do win this tournament it will stink of corruption.

'Oh but their the chockers(sic).'

'It doesn't matter they are just going to choke'. 'Look the chokers are now the chokees (sic)' (meaning we are the ones choking other teams but a bit lost in translation) and other blood boiling, annoying comments offset by stuff muttered by so many of us appreciative(?) fans... 'Phew! Heart palpitations!'. 'That's way too close!' and my personal favourite 'They're doing this to themselves, taking the hard road every time'... Aren't we all entertained though?! Scintillating. Apparently some English commentators were dissing our chances big time after we did for England before we played the Windies...

Thanks for this great piece!
