***Official*** First Semi-Final: Australia vs. England

An easy path is all relative. For Zimbabwe, Australia's path to final would have been very difficult. You are essentially saying that Australia is a very good side.

That's as may be, but however good a side they are, they've never had such an easy path to the final of a major tournament before nor are they likely to again.

It would have taken a very high standard of bowling to contain them (Ponting in particular). A standard England were nowhere near.

Did we bowl turd or were Watto & Ponting just awesome? Or both?
2 shots by the Punter:
the cover drive off the Burnley Express in the 8th over AND
The lofted on drive off Collingwood.
Silk shots.
That coupled with the fact that Watto batting like he was Hayden in his pomp.
Oh yeah and the bowling was rank garbage on a gem of a batting pitch.

Answer: Both

I dunno, I seem to remember a World Cup in the recent past where Australia went undefeated and were crushing teams. That run may have been as easy (I admit that the side then was better than this one). Are we actually looking for the worst side to win a major tournament?
