2007 Cricket World Cup (West Indies) thread

Mmmm. No cricket until Saturday...

//shakes uncontrollably

i know... we've become so used to!

 

[NaZKuL]

So it has been disgussed before, but was it a good thing England lost last night. For South Africa.

that depends, do we want SA to finish fourth or third in the group....

I am going with 2nd...

I thought England deserved to win in the end, or perhaps a tie seeing as how close the game really was.

Yeah, just like we deserved a tie against Sri Lanka. Ummm, no.

I'm not sure why we spend so much time discussing how SA must avoid 4th place, or how important the NRR will be for qualifying for the semis. We're the number 1 team in the world in (notwithstanding hiccup against Aus) and we should damn well start believing in ourselves if we actually want to win this thing.

We should be winning all remaining Super 8 games, which means we finish 1st or 2nd, depending how Aus does. Nrr is irrelevant.

What do you mean?

we stil have to play NZ and ENG and WI... i'll go for thirds...
not that it matters between 2nd/3rd...

Yeah. On current form we should beat ENG and WI, NZ will be tough...

 

[chiskop]

What do you mean?

Our game against Sri Lanka was at least as close as last night's game, if not closer. I think we all agree that Sri Lanka don't deserve a point for being close.

I see. Ok

You've gotta read this: Caribbeans depressed by Cricket World Cup

"Georgetown, Guyana - It should have put the calypso back in Caribbean cricket, celebrating the sport by bringing the game's biggest one-day tournament to countries that know how to throw a party.

Instead, they're depressed from Jamaica to Guyana and from Antigua to St. Kitts. They're fed up with everything from big business interests squashing the spontaneous fun to the lousy performances of the West Indies team and to the mysterious death of Pakistan's English coach Bob Woolmer hours after his team was eliminated in the qualifying round."

hehe... more than half the WI team are on holiday!

 

[lilDeath]

fook the english, it's good they got their asses kicked

 

[JK8]

Yeah. On current form we should beat ENG and WI, NZ will be tough...

I say SA will lose to one of them, WI or Eng.

I seriously doubt it. England man for man has a worse side than SA, and the West Indies have too many problems on and off the field.

Watch it son!

Mmm Pakistan "man for man" over Bangladesh???
And Windies you never know.

NZ will be the game to watch. I wanna see the Nz, Aus, SL and Sa matches facing each other.. Only one so far so next week should be interesting.

 

[lilDeath]

Watch it son!

I aint your son.
And what must I watch?

 

[hj2k_x]

I aint your son.
And what must I watch?

Attacking England like that

I certainly like the look of NZ in the WC thus far.
