World Cup

[Fluffy]

The dutch look in good form

i take that back, dutch arnt going very well at all if they cant even beat the poms.

Go the windies, a win over the poms may see them not even make the 8

 

[Fro]

where do you pull the racism card from there tractor?

 

[The Eagle]

His english

Australia is English/Irish/Scottish/Welsh mixture of bull****

We hate the pure english apparently,even tho they are
part of our history,god id love to lose the union jack on
our flag,not because i hate the english,but because its a
weak sign of service by a nation which is building into a
global powerhouse,not just on the field but off it to

 

[lsz]

His English? huh? As in his written words?

 

[The Gronk]

Good to see racism is still well and truly alive. Happens everytime we lose.

But the greatness of us if we seem to lose the impossible. Credit to the great Irish. They are a very good team, which I doubt many would know.
I will no doubt cop it while walking around with the urn in one hand and the 20/20 wc in the other. Take the great the bad and the Aussies with a pinch of salt. ;D ;D

Racism? Turn it up.

 

[Chip and Chase]

The thing he won't admit is that he is a naturalised Aussie now, just like most Poms that move out here. Quick to shed their Pommy heritage if it means been able to live in God's country. That's pride in the Union Jack for you

Good win by the Paddy's, chasing down 300+ is a great performance against any side, even against England's trundlers.

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

Bringing a country up isn't racism, bringing a race up is though

I was bloody gutted this morning, lost the power the other night and didnt have it back for the game, couldn't sleep though so managed to listen to the end of our innings, sounded awesome, taylor went nuts, going from 76 with 4 overs to go, to 131*, he and Oram put on 85 from 22 balls. 28 off 1 Akhtar over followed by 30 off Razzaq

 

[Dan]

I heard something about some fight in the world cup the other night, anyone have anymore on that?

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

I haven't heard a thing about it. Maybe something to do with the Banglasdesh fans stoning the Windies team bus ?

 

[Fro]

2 Words Kiwi.

Kamran Akmal..... Join the dots.

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

dots weren't common during the 114 from 6 overs mate =P

 

[Fro]

the clown has a history Kiwi, even you must say it was suspicious.

I dont for a minute think Taylor was involved, but his "catching" has been looked at before.

 

[The Gronk]

They went from 200 to 300 in 29 balls.  Amazing.

I dont for a minute think Taylor was involved, but his \"catching\" has been looked at before.

He dropped him on 0 and 4 mate, nothing more during the next 127 runs and even if you were fixing a game on your own, it is hard to do from keeper and you wouldn't bank on such a slaughter at the end on every bowler

 

[Fro]

You are kidding Kiwi?

The very best spot in the field to influence a game is Keeper.

They have a hand in setting the field
They advise the captain on bowling changes.
They catch more than anywhere else, ergo more opportunity to "drop" them
Same story with Runouts
as above for Stumpings.
these days with the DRS in place who is generally the arbiter of to use them or not?

spot fixing like no balls and the like a bolwer is who you want, but to influence more widely the keeper is your man..

Didnt that pakistani bloke get accused of matchfixing whilst in australia during the huge comeback game when Ponting screwed the pooch and chose to bat on a pitch greener than......i dont think ive ever seen anything that green before actually

 

[Fro]

In this case though, which is what we are talking, none of the above occured in the last 5-6 overs, Pakis were on top til that point regardless of the dropped catches

 

[Fro]

England = ****......that is all
