The Cricket World Cup

[fozzi]

For any Sky user who hasn't tried the CWC interactive service yet, it's pretty damned good!!!!!!!

[ewenm]

And there will be online ball-by-ball commentary here www.cricinfo.com - they're usually pretty funny too

Vaughan's in a hurry..... SR 100+!!

McGrath has got a big sulky gob on him... again!!!

[VETTE_1978]

Looking good so far. Bell gets a tidy 50+ and MV is still there.

With any luck I'll be out the office and home infront of the box before the innings is over. Then it's time to cheer on the Monty!

[fozzi]

149-4 with 15 overs to go, Flintoff and Collingwood at the crease!

Projection says:
239 at 6/over
256 at 7/over

West Indies 57-5 against India!!!!

This World Cup could be won by ANY of the top eight - no one is even certain of a semi-final place.

And that's what competitive sport should be like ...

Oi, Premier League, can you hear me?

Same friggin' four teams up there YET AGAIN - boring ...

My outside tips to win - have you seen the batting line up?

Class ... I'd pay to watch those guys. Yuvraj - majestic.

Might struggle to bowl the best teams out though ...

[fozzi]

Blimey..... Windies 62-8 now!!!!!

We've made a right balls of this!!!

ETA:
Guess the consolation is that the wicket appears to be helping the bowlers quite a lot, but we still need to put it in the right place!!!

How's that projection looking...

..currently 190-9 with 3 overs left.

[fozzi]

122-1 to 197ao... not good!!

[johnfm]

I better not get too cocky! Not seen the wicket or conditions! Maybe par is 150, so 197 could be a great score.

Hopefully, we can knock teh runs off and enjoy tonight's beer!

early days (overs) but looks like the lads are BIT!
(back in town for the soap dodgers who dont understand)
keep it up Wato & Gilly

[vette_1978]

In the same way that NZ "let" Bangladesh win to take some of the pressure of them - this is exactly what we're doing.

At least I hope thats what we're doing! It's looking quite effortless for the convicts at the moment.

[fozzi]

Why do I get this horrible feeling that we're playing Watson into form?!!!

Come on Monty!!!

Bit worrying that Fred has left the field after shaking his ankle a few overs ago. Opening game is just 4 days away and we're just not looking like a threat at all, lets lift it Monty!

There it is.......here's the collapse...

Erm, yes, erm......

Well I'll be shouting it pretty loud in 4 weeks time when we give your lads a big surprise!

Just how big are Gilly's ears! My god he's a gnome!
