Cricket world cup discussion thread

I love cricket but the 50 over world cups a s-o d-r-a-w-n o-u-t even I lose interest. And these associate games are a joke. Who are they kidding that they will improve with exposure to the world cup? So a handful of games every four years is going to help them raise their standard???

If you are saying that associate teams should receive more exposure to top level cricket, then I agree.

Ireland versus England.... :twisted:
 
What's lame about it? He says ban the C-word (chokers), not the letter "C", so what does that have to do with his name starting with a "C"? :confused:

Lame. Ban the C word lol, does he know his name starts with C?

A choke is a choke, the tag is there and will always be there, even if they win this WC and mess up in the next WC, they will still hold the chokers tag.
Its like the Pakis and match fixing, it will always be a cloud above their heads, deal with it!

I weep everytime we choke dude :(. No need to read some chop claiming otherwise, i was there this time and i have been the other 8 times. The word choke should be embroidered under the bloody protea on the cap and shirt they wear :(.

Perhaps it will inspire them to get it removed.

It was hardly a must win game!!!!!!! Are Fking kidding me!!!!!!!!! Every game is a must win game and that right there is our main arrogant reason for choking.

F that stupid logic, hardly a must win game bwhahahahaha, i also like at least we got our loss out the way. I mean come on winning positive mentality FTMFW not hardly must win plod and block style BS :(.

I think Pakis will win, but its not a big game for them, they have the highest points in the tourny.
I think the Pakis bowling attack is the best in the competition, its their batting that might let them down, thats if they lose.
 
I say that you can never say with the Pakis. All it takes is one batsman or bowler to be in the mood. Though the norm is that nobody is in the mood. I hope they win though as it makes the other games pressure cookers.

Kamran dropped two! One was very very very very easy, regulation catch. Bowlers have now lost interest, typical.
I think they going to bowl at the stumps now, not relying on the fielders.

lol 28 run over for Shoaib. Serves him right for stealing Donald's celebration.
 
The mighty Shoaib goes for a shwashbuckling 28 in that last over. Check his bank balance :p

Hope he gets his final over in today :D

No, no - courtesy of a Kamran Akmal :D

edit: Oram gets a six too.

I guess this is the style of subcontinental cricket that JK8 likes.
