Lankans beat Afghanistan by 4 wickets.

India beats Saffas by 130 runs.

Wow easy peasy !

Re: The Cricket Thread
 

ouch!

Re: The Cricket Thread
 

It's definitely not what I expected. India have gone without a win for two and a half months, so this is a pretty big statement for them and it's come at just the right time.

Lawks a Lordy, Scotland now ...

England finish on 8 for 303. Scotland's bowling got pepped up just a bit too late.

Small world indeed; I should have shouted 'where's Poll'? ;)

We were under the Level 2 tier above so we didn't get burned but when the Aussies were hitting sixes we lost the ball for a little while! Kiwis taking 12.3 overs to knock off England was humiliating and I'm sure the 1st game had some influence on confidence levels.

The joke doing the rounds here is that someone says 'we can do without the minnows in the World Cup', his pal replies, 'nah we need England to whip and to build up the crowds'.:rofl:

:lol:
Yep i reckon you were within easy yelling distance of me! i was actually standing at the back a lot of the time, just behind the back row of seats - more civilised than the Gabba where they would have had people shot for less! Knew I should've worn my witchy hat!

Nice one the Leprechauns :thumbup:

Re: The Cricket Thread
 

I'm a bit confused, SA and ABdV in particular have opened a whole six pack of whoop assage and 'zulu is nowhere to be seen! :confused:

Re: The Cricket Thread
 

And Bernie isn't online either though the Irish have been doing well.....maybe they are out whooping asses together :lol::ohmy:

Re: The Cricket Thread
 

Well done ABD scoring more than the entire WI team and another world record. Whoop whoop. :)

Re: The Cricket Thread
 

I'm no longer really into ODI cricket as it's kind of pointless so pretty ambivalent to this (although I reserve the right to change my mind if we continue to do well!)

An impressive performance given that we scored over 260 runs in the last 20 overs and were on track at one point to triple our 30 over score, but some of that bowling was ordinary beyond belief - even Anderson and Broad could have done better! Sure ABD was on fire but even I could have belted most of those shin height, full tosses he was getting

It is obvious that SA had a strategy to start slowly, see off the new ball/best bowling and then launch but if the WI realised this, they did nothing to counter it. They played to SA's tune

All good, but when we played a decent team (India) we fell apart

We'll see

Meanwhile NZ giving Australia a hard game

Re: The Cricket Thread
 

This game is mmmmm interesting.

Re: The Cricket Thread
 

What a stunner! Fair play to the Kiwis, that was a ripper of a game.

:D
