Yeah, you blokes do suck at cricket. But you never know Skim, this could be the year Canada takes world cup cricket by storm.

You might beat the Kenyans, the Bangledeshi's, the Zimbawawans or perhaps the Scots or the Irish but that is about it. So you could come 5th or 6th overall...

Well Skim my wife doesn't have a clue on cricket either. Come to think about it she doesn't know about Rugby Union or League. First time she saw a Super 12 game of Rugby Union 2 years ago. She said quiet loudly you are not playing that and why are they trying to kill the man with the ball?

Oh and the New Zealanders beat the Aussie's by 10 wickets in their match Now that was very satifying 4 defeats in the last 5 is a record worthy of the English Test team...

Well, we may not have the top spot in One Dayers...but at least we have the Ashes!

We can't win them all, and defeat was certainly inevitable...but to lose to the Kiwis! Oh, the shame of it all!
