Great, just Great
"An unchanged England side get their Super 8 match against Sri Lanka under way"
Unchanged?!!?! Are England trying to loose!! :(

SL are 58 for 1 from 14 overs...there is hope England can keep them to a lowish total!!
Well I hope hope.

wish they would show it on tv down here. New Zealand are loking good, so far they are the danger team for Australia IMO

Sri Lanka: 226-8

England are bowling well at the sharp end [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

Bowling well, now that's a shock!!
No surprise that the 2 openers went cheapley, its up to KP again!!

Doesn't look like England will manage to make it...

Well, that was close.

I watched a game in a bar in Tokyo! How weird. The Japanese know nothing about Cricket. We've been trying to teach them. Even had a game in a loading dock the other day and passed around vegemite toast! :D

Geez, Vaughan should just give the game up in ODIs. He's hopeless.

Who would Captain England then? Flintoff has proven he can't, for some reason they won't pick Strauss (how has he become a bad player over night in the eyes of the selectors)
I think KP should have done better, he got in had the chance to play a winning innings and gave it away. oh, what are the chances of beating Oz again??

Blame the management. England choose not to play Bopra (sp?) in the build up matches so he does not get the experiance to win tight matches then pick him for the world cup. I feel really sorry for him, he was set up to fail. England have the worst dumb ass management around.

No argument there from me!!

Well I hope England doesn't slip up today against the 'Tigers' like SA did!!

Well the Bangers have lost to Ireland, the paddies are having a great world cup.

BTW does anybody else think the world cup is going on to long?

Yeah it is dragging on for ages.... Some games have upto 8 days between them its crazy!

Excellent, now that England are out I won't have split loyalties when they play one of teams that have my fantasy cricket players in them...

:D

Well the finals beckon, Australia v Sri Lanka

While I will be looking foreword to an Australian victory I will also be kinda glad it is over, this has gone on way too long.

Yeah this has been painful. There is way to much time between games to keep any momentum.

I've just been around every sports bar in the city of Sendai, Japan. Cricket? Nada... I found German football, Chinese rugby and something that looked like hurling! But no WORLD CUP cricket... oh well... It's underway now.

I was gonna ask how many more years this was going to last, but now i know it's almost done. :D

Well, goond on Aussie i guess, but i think everyone agrees it was a disappointing end to a disappointing tournament.

till 2011!

You are being too kind to the tournamant Captain. It was a joke and finished a farce with a tragic murder in the middle. Gilchrist had an amazing innings and that was the only real diffrence between us and Sri Lanka.

Shocking end to a shocking tournament. How can they run an event like at a ground with no lighting.

Then the umpires want to continue it the next day????
