To be edged out of top 4 is one thing, to be edged out by Bangladesh is another.Quote:

Ah well, at least I won`t have to suffer listening to that incompetent lot again in the world cup,bloody disgraceful performance.
I have to say I have been disappointed in many of England's recent performances. As a team that was so good, they have fallen a long way in the last year.Quote:

loathe him yes but you know hes a pom cricketer but earnt the right to say things about the current team. by standing tall
another easy win for Australia over Scotland, read nothing into the victory, just text book innings
Nz through to the World Cup finals after a close game with sa. Hopefully Aus will beat the Indians for an Aus/nz final.
I'm just gunna leave this here aswell.
Cheers!
Bloody Hell, South Africa should have won that game but yet again farked it!!
I don't think nz were at there best this game, but I wouldn't be surprised if they were to win the cup. The team has been in quite good form recently, and they are putting in fairly solid and consistent performances.Quote:

well they have all these batters that can all score quickly and 4 world class bowlers they are the favorites to win im pssed though my son told me to back them before the cup started
that Duckworth lewis system usually helps the team batting first,
but with the advent of 20/twenty cricket a player can now score
many more runs than before, just look at the totals some teams
and individual players are getting, who scores 230 odd in a 50 game over
Years ago scores of 300 were common, then the expected score fell quite dramatically.
With these IPL, Twenty/20, Big Bash etc the batsmen have their confidence back and skill levels have increased dramatically.
Don't remember so many 4's and especially 6's scored like today.
We certainly have exiting cricket now, really enjoy it.
Just wondering how well NZ will play on an adult sized ground?
Massive choke by RSA again.
Yep. Should it be an aus/nz final, I think the home ground should tip it in favour of the Aussies, although nz have the fact that they beat Aus last time they faced them, and they haven't lost a single game in the World Cup.Quote:

Go Aussies, Woo Hoo.
Was a good game.
Sheesh, did the Indians turn up. No sledging, no batting what the hell happened?
Dhoni belted a couple of good boundaries then stupidly run out, didn't even try to slide in, smacks of a betting scandal.
An Aussie Kiwi final, be a good game.
Didn't he. Was the laziest run between wickets I've seen. Either didn't see it being thrown, or was really backing it to miss the wickets.Quote:

and we all love the KIWIs eh bud kiora
Will the Indians return home to burnt out houses
There were a few wild throws that passed the wicket to the other side before that run out, maybe it was a ruse to set them up when a good throw would be effective.Quote:

it up there
Final should be a cracker, wouldn`t bet a penny on the outcome.
Only bet I'll place is it should come down to the wire!Quote:
