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
