Well that match was one big cringe Laughing

the kiwi's are a good team but the Aussies are like a roaring Lion! I have a feeling it will be down to them and SA? I'm glad the final will be held here but I probably watch it on TV.

well no one can say this CWC has been without its moments ......and that's so far! But I say again,I have never seen a cricket team so well 'butch' for the want of a better word as the Aussies are now! I even heard a commentator say that he thought their present training regime as being excessive,before and after a game.

I feel they will win, they are setting a new precedent for cricket and it must be recognised and sought after, they are simply awesome.

I much prefer Freddie Flintoff's training regime.

Ten pints of lager followed by a bit of splashing around in the pool Laughing

See Engerland got beat by Sri Lanka Laughing

Sri Lanka are dark horses in the competition.

Wonder how long it is before Vauhgan gets the boot as well? Who do they bring in though? Strauss? Flintoff PDT_Aliboronz_24

?

Not many to choose from.

I wouldn't have betted on England beating Sri lanka to be honest,though I do feel sorry for them, I thought they had a better chance in the competition than they have displayed. I like Vaughn personally but I think Freddy has blown his chances,so I would go for Strauss as Captain should MV get the boot!

A lot of people are going to get the boot by the time its all over,they have been calls for the resignation of Minister for Tourism in B'dos. and also moaning at the high ticket prices. Nothing unusual there, everything in this region costs an arm and a leg.

Well whatever the outcome,I still can't get over the Irish! LOL! And also how much Bangladesh have come on.That is at least a positive!

Oh my! The Aussies need 63 more to win from 63 balls.....with eight wickets in hand! Embarassed

This apart, I have to say that the engerlish are chatting about Mathew Hogart who saw a rat in his hotel room in Antigua,as if this is a big deal!! Shocked

Now they are talking about Goats!! Just because they can't walk about and pick a fruit off a tree,or ask a stranger for one or two off theirs! The concrete fekkers! Their whole life is regulated by the Government, doesn't mean others live with such restrictions!!Plus it's the Tropics! The fekkers cannae expect not tae come into contact with the wild life!

Now they are going on about 'Gravey' but so many of the male engerlish fans dress in their, as a Kiwi commentator put it ' Only the engerlish would put on his wife's dress and go to cricket!!' Shocked

The sacrasm is not lost on the West Indians!! Indeed, these poor engerlish fekkers try to make out that they are the leading lights in the world..... wot aggorance!!

Rassssberrrrry 's Very Happy

Just venting due to the commentary Laughing

Well not far to go anyway RH, I have just listened to the last ball of the match and well thats it for the Windies for this WC,they still have two matches here though so I may go to one.

I might like to see the Irish v Austrailia game here in B'dos,see if there are any tickets left! Very Happy

Sorry RH, you did mean Engerland!! Embarassed

Lara and the rest too!! Oh dear! Some folk want them all gone, but still people tend to forget that the windies are not professional players,just like the saltires,Ireland etc.Well maybe lara being the exception, these guys have jobs and have to fit in their training when they can. I think too much is been expected of them under those circumstances, the game has got more and more sharper for want of another word these days. The Aussies for example,have all the latest hi-tec training methods and all the support systems in place and it shows.Its the only way to compete sucessfully in todays cricket IMO.

Tomorrow The windies play england right here in sunny Bimshire,the last match of the super eights. Its also the day where Brian Lara announces his retirement from International cricket and apparently in all forms. So I will have to watch that game for sure,wish I had bought a ticket now! Sad
