luckyluke 2 Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 You just know he's gonna blast us out of the park as it's last international innings. And to be fair to the great man, it's no less than he or us deserves. Didn't really set the world alight with his captaincy, but what a batsman.

wellsy 0 Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Australia are just playing like a bunch of champs at the moment. Thrashed NZ last night by something like 210-230 runs... We have now won some crazy amount of World Cup games in succession, i think it is 20 odd games now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellsy 0 Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Has everyone lost interest in the World Cup now? Australia v Sri Lanka in the final after Sri Lanka beat NZ and we smashed South Africa last night. Fantastic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooj 17 Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 It's been a rather poor World Cup I must admit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 It's been a rather poor World Cup I must admit. Well, we were shite, which doesn't help. But we're normally crap so it wasn't just that. I blame the ridiculously long format of the 'Super 8s' and the overpriced tickets for removing the true Carribean flavour that the tournament should have had.

wellsy 0 Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 (edited) It's been a rather poor World Cup I must admit. Agree It's been a rather poor World Cup I must admit. Well, we were shite, which doesn't help. But we're normally crap so it wasn't just that. I blame the ridiculously long format of the 'Super 8s' and the overpriced tickets for removing the true Carribean flavour that the tournament should have had. I thought they should of played two super 8's games a day/night instead of one. That way the tournament only goes for a month instead of basically 2 months. This isnt logical for some reason and Malcolm Speed has said that the next work cups format will not be any different. Some tickets were over 100 bucks or something or so said Ricky Ponting... 28 World Cup victories on the trot now... thats some record. One of my mates sent me this; Australia's dominance of their opposition has been frightful this tournament. Try these for some stats; In 10 games we have batted first 5 times for a lowest total of 322. Average 348. We have bowled first 5 times. In those games we have lost a total of 10 wickets whilst batting. The most wickets we have lost batting second is 3. We have bowled every side out except Bangladesh. We only got 20 overs at them though. Thats some stats.... Edited April 26, 2007 by wellsy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in total agreement with that, I'm used to us being shite but expected more from the tournament as a whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 What a shite end to a shite tournament. That's not sour grapes, Australia fully deserved to win but it was a one-sided affair ending on a DL System decision. Summed the comp up really.

Steve 0 Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 Well, I said it a month ago... I will make this statement right now just to get it out of the way: Australia will win the World Cup. Too damn good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
