World Cup Cricket

[Target]

Just seen Bob’s wife on Sky news saying she didn't think he would commit suicide.

And a HUGE well done to Ireland on reaching the super 8!!! It was only a matter of time until one of crickets smaller teams made it. This can only help the game.

Apparently we won one, even though it didn't matter anymore. So what does beating Scotland mean in the world of cricket ? Is this an upset ? Or is Scotland one of the lesser Commonwealth teams ?

Did your brother enjoy his trip to Eindhoven ? It was right during carnaval festivities, so he must have been able to come back home with a collection of rare idiotic hats and stuff. [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

It is a good win Johnny though scotland are not rated that highly. But with the pakistan coaches murder the world cup is now a sideshow.

What gets me is that the police now confirm strangulation. How the hell did it take so many days to come up with that, the killer has had too much time to hide his tracks. This has been incompetantly handled.

I know i could look this up googling for it, but were the Dutch completely helpless against the Aussies, or did they at least put up a fight ?

Still strange that a team that represents our country on a worldstage doesn't, or hardly gets any recognition. My info regarding the game against the Scots comes directly from the BBC, no program on Dutch television thought it was worth mentioning apparently, friggin shame.

So who are the big favourites for the crown ? Australia ? South Africa perhaps ? Or is this a game where being the best is no garantee at all, kinda like in football ? Fill me in guys, i'm willing to learn. [img]smile.gif[/img]

On a sidenote...lets hope this murder doesn't have anything to do with religeon, that would be devastating for sports in general. It's bad enough as it is already.
