How the hell did we put in such a shite bowling display against Canada?
If we bowl like that we will not win this WC.

Didn't see it... Can't really answer... Vs Pakistan on sunday, come on aussie....

Eraserhead

Another disappointing innings from England...

I'm thinking of betting my life's savings on the Dutch tomorrow, as they play Ireland the day after St Paddy's Day.

good call


we are shit

Malinga - there is no way that is bowling. That's how I throw a ball. 5-0

Hows it feel boys to have lost to Ireland & Bangladesh and you're still in the WC?

nuffingman

Surprising! Not necessarily for much longer though. I'm going out in 2 hours for the rest of the day and have no idea how I'll find out the result. Bad timing.

I thought the SA exit was wonderful. If England go out I'm a Kiwi.

Brisk.

COME ON SRI LANKA!! YESS

Who invited you? This is invitation only. :evil:

Best cricket game I ever saw would have to be Aust vs Sth africa 99 world cup.... The tie that got Australia through... wow...

In 1999, Lance Klusner tore every country new arseholes... He was unstoppable.

lol @ South Africa, always the chokers.
Remember Herschelle Gibbs' dropped catch in the 1999 WC semi final?

NZ are pretty consistent, always reaching the semi's.
I hope they win it, GO NZ!

THat was hilarious... Steve Waugh then said to him 'You just dropped the world cup'. Great quote.

I think that was the same WC that Hansie Crojne had the ear piece in up to the coaches boss....

And on NZ, they might be consistent in those terms, but they are an inconsistent team. Win one good match and then back to where they were. India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka are looking pretty damn strong...

Yeah he had the earpiece in that WC.
I did not expect Pakistan to get this far based on the scandals of late.

Watson should be captain, he has earned it, not this pretty boy Clarke.

pjfan31

I'm not sure that Watson is the right man for V.C. He has some of the worst body language I have seen from an international player. He is a great player so hopefully he can turn that around. Nothing worse than poor body language on the field, let alone from a captain V.C.

Back to back ashes in 2013...

That kind of sucks, cause after we win in in England, we will only hold it for a few months before they go on the line again...

But gotta love ashes cricket...

Thoughts_Arrive

Katich unlucky.

Did anyone see Prior smash the window a few weeks ago?
Strauss shaking his head made it more hillarious
