Go the Paddy's!

Australia's odds must get a bit shorter with one of their main rivals from recent years out of the tournament.

Indeed they were good games.



As for Flintoff sack him that's what I say. All he wants to do is drink all day long get rid of him and give someone else the chance who wants to play cricket.

As for the rest of them who went out boozing do that one more time and sack them as well.

Agreed Steed
Flintoff has been on a downward spiral since the Aussie tour here

Pity is that is he is still our best one day bowler

Still the boys did the business today
Not exactly a standout performance but a win is a win

Fielding was better too but still woefull at times
Meh

I just like to add a up date to my comment about Flintoff, I still feel he should be sacked and he must get help about his drinking and if he shows that he is cleaning up his act then let him back in to the team but on probation.

A dark shadow has fallen over the world cup. With the news of Bob Woolmer murder and the speculation of corruption cricket could be in the dock again.

Woolmer 'may have known' his murderer

[bigboywooly]

Yes a sad week indeed

How can any sport warrant such an event

Is it a coincidence its the Pakistani team involved again :hmm:

[STEED]

I don't want to speculate too much until more information is at hand.

[STEED]

England better get there act together as they are up against Sri Lanka today and our old enemy's on Sunday the Australians.

Australia could win the world cup but there are two dark horses out there Sri Lanka and New Zealand.

[STEED]

We should had won against Sri Lanka.

Well it looks like any chance of getting in to the semi finals is bleak as we take on the kings of cricket this Sunday, Australia.

[bigboywooly]

Was a close call and I thought we may have done it but eh
Top order needs a good shake up
Why the hell is Vaughen still in ?

Talk about a slump

[STEED]

Well knock me down with a feather I did not see that one coming at all. Well done Bangladesh taking South Africa to the cleaners and throwing England a life line.

Here's to you Bangladesh.

[bigboywooly]

I have to say was a pleasure to watch Ashraful bat
Some great strokes in that innings

A few more players like that and they could be a usefull team
Bowlers did well too

England seem to be making a decent fist of it today
So far
:rotfl:

Wow how have i missed this thread.
I so enjoyed the ashes thread.
Well am watching the England game today seems we are still having to endure the bating collapses. But if KP and Ravi can stay in till the end we might yet post a deffendable total.
What i will say is why oh why is Micheal V still keeping his place in the side is beond me his batting in this World cup has been nothing short of Useless. Keep Straus in the side and make him Capt and bring back Ed Joyce.

[bigboywooly]

Well Strauss didnt exactly light up the game

Looks like another Oz victory unless they suffer an England style collapse
Phah
Some hope
Edit

No they didnt

Looks like 3 wins out of 3 needed now to stay in

[STEED]

Hells Bells here we go again. Come on England you must win the next three games and have a good run rate to stand any chance of getting into the semi finals.

Next up on Wednesday the South Africa killers, Bangladesh. And they are riding the surf at the moment.

[STEED]

England's win over Bangladesh was a dreadful victory.

Ban: 143
Eng: 147-6

It may be job done but it is a poor showing.
