WORLD CUP T20

[shyamwestwind]

Hi Everyone
Have any of you been for the World Cup T20 ? I wonder how many out there are interested in cricket.

Morning Shyam i love cricket it was the only sport i was really any good at lol lol

The tournament so far has been quite good the Aussies and bangladesh have been eliminated lol sorry to our Aussie friends, but your team gave us a roasting yesterday lol but we were only giving you a chance of a win lol I think India would be a good outside bet to win the tournament your bowlers are better suited to the pitch conditions than the rest seem to be, your spin bowlers spin the ball so well and your quickies swing the ball so well and in this format of the game thats all that counts. So good luck India but watch out for our wee Ireland remeber what we did to Pakistan in the world cup it could happen again lol lol

weegeo-------------- in the corner awaiting his call into the team lol lol

Yeah I do think and want Indi to retain the cup, but I'm watching Sri Lanka - they are playing really professionally and JayaSurya seems to have regained his form. India will be playing the West Indies tomorrow and I'll be at a gig .sob sob sob. I hope there aint no Gayle storm tomorrow.

Well we got a lesson from the black caps yesterday we gave them far to many short and wide balls to let them score from but new zealand got off to a flyer still it`s not over yet.

Sri Lanka are always dangerous in this form of the game if mourlay is on form he turns [lol] any team over i have always rated him better than Shane Warne

Yes , Muralidharan can be a formidable bowler, but he seems to out of form these days. He didnt do too well at the IPL too, but he can be good when it matters.
By the way, what do you think of Mallinga's bowling action, George ? Looks like chucking doesnt it ? Pretty acurate bowling and quite a nice , pleasant character.

George, you wont be hearing from me for some time ............... SOB SOB SOB ........ We are out of the World Cup !!!!!!! Congrats to you guys, though ..... good strategy - I think the short length bowling worked.

Terrible shame that India are out though i think the team used poor stratagies still there is always next time. We are out as well i think Sri Lanka did for us but are game is this afternoon against Pakistan i think there are some old scores to settle lol lol lol i hope we do them over again lol
If Malinga had been playing in my old team over here he would be called for throwing the ball his action is very close to chucking i`m not really sure the umpires don`t call him for it but as you say he is so very accurate.

I think your team is a superb lot of cricketers specially at the longer form of the game Sachin Tendulkar is absolutely brilliant he reminds me so much of the great geoff Boycott for me he has been India these past few years.

weegeo----------- getting the cold beers in for todays match

Hey Shyam move over and we c an watch the other teams now lol. We got put out yesterday by Pakistan it was a game we should have won but unfortunately our middle order batting let us down, our bowlers played a brilliant game in restricting the total that Pakistan reached if we batted as well as we bowled we would really trouble the bigger teams but maybe next time

Well would you believe it England have been put out as well lol They started so well but KP made his usual poor shot selection and was easily caught just when he was going so well after he went it was always going to be hard for England. The after match interview was quite interesting Collingwood said his team played well and were still learning this form of cricket but past captain M.Atherton disagreed and said England were poor i tend to agree with him. Now the tournament is wide open and any one could win now just hope the games continue to be entertaining.

weegeo----------- dusting off his bat and pads for the next time
