    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.

    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. :lol:

    Surprising! :D 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.

    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.

    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.
