BethnalGreen Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 Quite safe...The whole team is protected, and India, being a democracy, has a little bit more decorum, and the fact that it is the MAJOR host for the next CWC in 2011.Who'd have predicted the super eight line up as it is now though? Sri Lanka Australia South Africa New Zealand England Ireland Bangladesh West Indies. Eat your hat Ricky Ponting! England and probably a few of the others haven't made it through yet... Don't jump the gun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arwebb Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 It's not looking too bad for England now, which is more than can be said for the footballers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BethnalGreen Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 It's not looking too bad for England now, which is more than can be said for the footballers. I couldn't even watch the England - Israel match. Useless, the lot of them. I'm presuming it turned out to be a 0 - 0.... If so, or even worse, then we can kiss qualification goodbye... Ah well...

arwebb Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 It finished 0-0, but I ain't giving up yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BethnalGreen Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 It finished 0-0, but I ain't giving up yet. Well, at least we are through to the Super Eights at Cricket. The football can wait... I just hope that everybody makes a big fuss of Bob Wolmer in this World Cup, and I don't mean in the ordinary sense of the word. I mean by way of quality sport journalists.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexjc Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 Puh! I Doubt it. England hasn't exactly got the best draw. It's sad to see that Bob Woolmer's death have cast an appaling shadow over what would've been a magnificent event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rav3n Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 Like it wasn't enough with all the problems on the organization and that not all the venues were not complete (and the vandalization of the throphy during a tour),now this , really sad for the pakistani team, i know that you can love and follow your team, but that don't give you reason for be an extremist.

arwebb Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 So instead of what most people thought would be a clash between India and Pakistan, it will instead be Ireland against Bangladesh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYCD 2012 Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 I say the final will be OZ , NZ , South Africa and England or Sri Lanka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arwebb Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 yea south africa beat sri lanka by one wicket!!!! But only after they very nearly chucked it away and Lasith Malinga became the first bowler in international cricket to take four wickets in four balls. Today, New Zealand have bowled the West Indies out for just 177 and looked very impressive in doing so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arwebb Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Very good performance from the Kiwis, but they were helped by an insane Windies team selection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexjc Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 So? Victory is victory, just because the WI fronted up a poor team, doesn't mean NZ is easy going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micheal_warren Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 Very good performance from the Kiwis, but they were helped by an insane Windies team selection. true! But new zealands bowling performance was first class. I see Ireland but up a pretty good fight against England!

arwebb Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 Ireland performed well, as we knew they would after we played them last summer. They had us in trouble at one stage but 266 was always likely to be enough on that pitch. We know we need to step up a gear for the bigger tests to come, but there's no reason why we can't make the semi-finals ourselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
