2007 Cricket World Cup

[Gnomey]

Yeah, it is looking suspicious again. If it is murder (which I hope not) it will be interesting to see who the suspects are.

 

[Wildcat]

Well Aus beat South Africa by 83 runs, I was a bit unsure how this game was going to go, but in the end we smashed them!

 

[Gnomey]

I still think that will be the likely game in the final, with both India and Pakistan heading home. I see the Windies getting to the semi's but I don't think they are strong enough to beat the likes of the Aussies or the Springboks...

 

[Heinz]

Aus Vs the Black caps tonight

 

[Wildcat]

Yep. I've been up since 4:30am but am trying to stay up to watch the first innings. Should be a good game.

 

[Heinz]

Coffee Coffee! lol......


I've got a good book to read till it starts..........

 

[Lucky13]

GOOOOOO SWEEDEEEEN!!!!

 

[Wildcat]

Well we smashed them by 215 runs!! Too easy in the end. Just heard that Jason "Dizzy" Gillespie just made 123 not out for Yorkshire!!

 

[Gnomey]

And will go on to claim the title again. No real surprise but you were out of form having been beaten by both NZ and us poms...

Also in the news is that Brian Lara will retire after the Windies game against England on Saturday.

[Heinz]

Lara, fantastic batsmen..........


Australia woah!

I was watching and after Gilly went i was tempted to turn off..

However attack was obviously the mind set of Australia......

 

[Wildcat]

Hayden was Awesome, but how good was Watson!! I agree about Lara, be sad to see him go - truely a legend of the game.

 

[Heinz]

Well Australias smashed the South Africans.

MCgrath on a hat trick it was all happening.

I had to get some sleep at the 23 over other wise I would have been recked today lol

scores

SA 149/10

AUS 153/3 in 32over i believe

 

[Wildcat]

Yep, good to see the boys smash cocky SA. Tait was awesome!! bring on the final.

 

[Gnomey]

The South Africans played terribly though and did well to get to 149 all out from 27/5... Would now back the Aussies to win (as much as I hate to), although hopefully it will be a good game against the Sir Lankans.

 

[Heinz]

Well we won, I watched until about 4am and then left it

from what I've read there was a bit of confusion over bad light towards the end of the match. Too many overs to get in before dark it seems.

 

[Wildcat]

Ah, all is well in the world of cricket! I was supposed to work night shift but had a sickie to watch the game! When it rained for the first couple of hours i thougt I had made a big mistke!

 

[Maharg]

Ashes 5-zip, World Cup 3 in a row.
What more can I say. Except Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, well done fellas

 

[Wildcat]

How awesome was Gilly last last? man that was great to watch!

 

[Heinz]

Gilly is the cleanest hitter in world cricket today.

Amazing batting!

 

[Gnomey]

Farcical ending to the game but it was deserved victory. Things could of been different if Gilly hadn't had his knock...
