ODI cricket world cup
Looks like the Aussies might not be as bad as I first thought. Nice warm up series win in India. Smith, Warner, who are they?
West Indies could be the smokey.

It won't be the same without teams like the Netherlands and Ireland.

Re: ODI cricket world cup
Based on current form, Smith & Warner should really only be squad members at best. Not sure if anyone deserves to be dropped in the top order for them.

Re: ODI cricket world cup
They should be overlooked altogether.

This has merit - the dressing room seems to be getting along ok before they came back into the picture. Time will tellHirohito wrote:They should be overlooked altogether.

He will be the captain in the lockers.
Will help Finch immensely

Re: ODI cricket world cup
Smith back in some sort of form, so looking ok so far.
Bring on the abuse/banter (home crowd). Reckon it might actually spur the boys on now.

Re: ODI cricket world cup
Those 2 turds, Smith & Warner, can always go and have a cry if the English crowds are too much for their fragile egos. Hope they remembered to pack their sandpaper, if not, they can always get Langer to nip down to the hardware and get some. Maybe they have cooked up another way of cheating, wait, Lehmann isn't there, of course. I forgot, he fell on his sword also.

Can you expand on that? Surely the host nation didn't mess it up in some way?adam wrote:what a shocker the "opening party"

Re: ODI cricket world cup
It was a shambles - presented by a stumbling Flintoff and a couple of others who struggled with their roles.
The presentation was bad, the singing was worse, the cricket game they played was childish, it was cold and wet and the crowd was small.
Why have it at all?
The only highlights was Virat Kohli's short interview.

Sodden World Cup opening ceremony puts anticipation in deep freeze.
The curtain-raiser to this summer’s cricket showpiece took place in miserable conditions in front of a small, drenched crowd.
It probably did not take the ICC long to clear the site. They said they had invited 4,000 people, but there cannot have been many more than 400 there, corralled behind a metal barrier, all shuffling around in their plastic macs and huddled together under umbrellas.

Well, well.
Not one much for opening ceremonies in fairness. Usually its fluff and just a stage production with little to do with the event, but trust the poms to make it look like a crowd huddle at a Sunday league pub game.

Re: ODI cricket world cup
England definitely favourites, but can the pressure of the home crowd get to them?

Re: ODI cricket world cup

But yeah, they have one hand on the cup already.
Looking forward to some fantastic cricket! 47 games to go before the semi finals!!!
