England to clash with Australia in the finals of the World men's team Squash championship

England and Australia face after 16 years in a final. This comes after stellar display from Australia's David Palmer who played beautifully to outclass World No:1 Amr Shabana. This was a major setback for the Egyptians from which they could never recover and lost 2-1. Amr Shabana was erroneous right from the word go and this made Palmer to cut off all the escape routes. In the other semifinal, England's Peter Barker won the first match. Although James Willstrop lost his match, France was no match to England's play.

On the other side, in the play-offs, Indians show continued for a brief before losing to Canada. They now face a stiff opposition in the form of Netherlands with whom they battle it out for the 7 and 8 places. Malaysia and Canada fight for 5-6 places. The final is assumed to be a cracker of a contest with all the players in peak form.
