What's a FTB?

Flat Track Bully I am assuming. Basically, every batsmen that isn't a Saffa who scores runs is a FTB

[FvanN]

Kumar Sangakkara mercilessly flogged easy runs against the minnows. Against the big three he didn't deliver. FTB

Nice to see some class from you @Gerry SA.

Its Arrogant & Obnoxious South Africans like you who give the rest of us a bad name. Why not show a little class for example when a great cricket player calls it a day say 'well done' and 'thanks' for the memories. Instead of insulting his ability and generally making yourself look like a complete (No Swearing Please). Which after reading most of the utter rubbish you have posted on the forum might seem almost impossible to do.

I'm not on the forum to teach common courtesy to people but you sir could do with a lesson or two.

@the mods & forum I would like to apologise for my post but some people just need to be reminded of some of the qualities that make us cricket players what we are.

moving right along.

Aus vs Pak today in my home town of Adelaide and i'm at work on my lunch break with family sick at home so I won't be attending.

QF's today have been predictable.

Prediction I'm expecting Aus to beat Pak by 100 runs if they batting first. NZ should take out WI with ease.

Setting up two classic Semi Final Matches NZ vs SA in NZ and Aus vs India in Aus.

Prediction
SA to outscore NZ
Aus pace to flatten Indian dreams.

Prediction AUS vs SA Final at the MCG. Winner Cricket Fans everywhere and hopefully Aus, but i'm not as confident against SA.

ps. If NZ beat SA, it would be their first game in AUS and AUS (or IND) would start favorites.

I completely agree with your predictions but have SA down to win the trophy in the Aussies back yard (would take a miracle thou)

Aussies in a spot of bother 59-3 chasing only 213.
Pick up smith and this could be interesting

As an Aussie I really want us to win - but geez it's good to to see the Pakistanis getting into Shane Watson!!!

Shame they can't catch. Wahib was all over Watson there

Yep that was terrible. Heartbreaking for the bowler

[Jenko]

It's a wonder the handle on that GM hasn't snapped yet it's been hit so many times

[sarg]

I thought watson looked ordinary against bounce.....and then Maxwell comes to the crease. This will not go unnoticed. Great fight back by Watson in the end, thought he was a gonna for a while.

Great 4 through point though as he retreated to leg and did a sort square cut right under his chin. I swear when I first saw it, it looked like he hit it with his bat vertical pointing to the skies, and him striking some kind of hammer blow straight down. It actually looked better in slow mo, but not one for the orthodoxy.

He who laughs last laughs loudest.... have a nice flight home pakistan.......

[SLC]

Just seen Pakistan's drop of Watson. "Village" doesn't even describe it.

[tejasapatel]

Pakistan lost that on their own with dropped catches and terrible overall fielding. In term of batting the openers didn't show up and put a lot of pressure on the rest of the line up.
It was a great toss to win and a 270+ score and better fielding could have meant a whole different result.

Some awesome bowling by Wahab Riaz.

[awp]

Result would have been the same, anyway moot point. Our batting beside Smith who was excellent was ok, some good bowling by the pakis but 213 is never going to stop Australia regardless of how many wickets down we are.
