2007 Cricket World Cup

Wildcat · Mar 12, 2007

Well friends its that time again, the showcase of one day cricket is about to begin. Here is a thread to dicuss all aspects of the series.
I'm obviously backing the reining world champs, Australia, but I don't think they will have it all their way this time around.
Here are the groups and the game dates.
ICC Cricket World Cup 2007 - Cricket Australia

First game, Australia V Scotland, hmm could be close

Gnomey · Mar 12, 2007

Of course you will lose and go out in the group stages and it will be England v Scotland in the final

pbfoot · Mar 12, 2007

I believe Canada is sending a team the only reason I know is that a local sports station is trying to teach us about the game

Jared · Mar 12, 2007

Apparently a slower pitch with short boundaries. Should be good anyway Australia for the win!!

Wildcat · Mar 13, 2007

Short boundary's all right, even I could hit a six at some of those grounds!

BTW Gnomey, stranger things have happened!

Heinz · Mar 13, 2007

Australia wont be winning this year, watch out for sri lanka or new zealand.

Yeah like the Italians scoring 3 converted tries in 8 minutes against Scotland at Murrayfield in the 6 Nations...

BBC SPORT | Cricket | Australia too strong for Scotland

No surprise with the result... Aussies won by 203 runs.

Did you expect anything less Gnomey

Gnomey · Mar 14, 2007

Not at all, I expected you to bowl them out for less than you did...

Wildcat · Mar 15, 2007

Oh well, maybe next time Gnomey.

Jared · Mar 15, 2007

Lol... all I can say is "Ye be warned!" ^^

Emac44 · Mar 15, 2007

Just be sure it isn't your lot they bowl all out Gnomey. Cricket is a funny old game. One day hot to trot in the office next day mickey mouse with goofy at stumps. Trouble is with us Aussies Gnomey we are a cocky lot, but I suppose you already know that hahaha

Gnomey · Mar 15, 2007

Yes you are full of yourselves but when you have won as much as you have you sort of have a right to be cocky like that...

Emac44 · Mar 17, 2007

Hey but we still play the game Gnomey and part of that game is to put it on you English types when and where we can, You do the same to us Aussies so its only fair turn around Gnomey. One thing we know Gnomey English supportors are not above taking the piss especially of us. So what do we do but turn around and put it right back at you. Its part of good sportmanship Gnomey any way. Unfortunately some on both sides takes it to far and becomes serious to the degree of gamemanship and bad manners Gnomey. Which I feel you would agree with me on that. Hell if we lose the World Cup this year it isn't the end of the world for us. It just means the rest of the Cricket Sporting Nations have caught up with Australia and I wonder why it took so long for those other Nations to do it

Gnomey · Mar 18, 2007

True. Big shock yesterday, the Irish beat the Pakistani's thus knocking them out of the competition. The day before Hershal Gibbs hit 36 of an over against the Netherlands for the first maximun in international one day cricket...

Wildcat · Mar 19, 2007

Yep, Pakistan's loss to the Irish was a shock, but not as big a shock of Bob Wolmer dying after the game.

Gnomey · Mar 19, 2007

Yeah, that was a shock. When I first read it my inclination was that it was something to do with the results and I thought suicide but now that I have read more I can see that it wasn't.

Wildcat · Mar 22, 2007

Looks like Woolmers death may be murder according to several media sources around to world. Lets hope not, we don't need sh*t like that happening in the game of cricket.
