ICC Cricket World Cup 2011

[Sockmonkey]

Anyone been watching? So far the weaker teams are getting "klapped" by the more established nations, shame I almost feel sorry for teams like kenya and canada. In the same breath they really should not be in the tournament in the first place, rather create another division for them or leave them out of the world cup until they can compete in the international arena. Just my opinion.

Is this the year that SA finally takes a cup back home, I can remember the last time we won a tournament, be it world cup, pro 20 or ICC champs. Maybe this is our year.

I actually haven't watched a single match
Isn't Australia playing Netherlands today?

Indeed they are, Aus has been struggling lately with injuries so it will be interesting to see how they do in this world cup, they are going for their fourth WC title in a row this year.

Errr...I am watching the match at the moment and it's England playing against the Netherlands...not Australia. Aus played against Zimbabwe yesterday

England vs Netherlands. ANOTHER game worth missing. Possibly the first "challenging" game will be SA vs Windies on Thursday. The organizer should have scheduled better in my opinion. "Better" games in between these games. I agree with Sockmonkey, create a CWC: Shield league. Zim, Ireland, Bangladesh, Neth can battle that out.

Doh! I haven't been following it all.

The dutch are looking quite good. Hup Holland

We have been talking a lot in the office and they really needed to have at least two games a day for the group stages. It is just a huge drawn out affair till the knockouts start

LOL, my bad. As Maxil said, its a game worth missing, bring on SA vs WI.

There are rumours that they will cut the teams for next world cup.

Netherlands set to get a decent total - 250+ if they continue at their current rate. Would be nice to see a well contested match for a change, go Netherlands.

 

[DenSweeP]

WOuld be awesome if they can klap the Poms!

 

[Murph]

209 for 4.....they're not doing too badly. Only 8 overs to go though.

 

[Maxil]

WOW - looks like the Netherlands are putting up a GREAT fight (with help from englands poor fielding..) I might have to eat my words!!

 

[Sockmonkey]

Yeah, they managed to get 292 in the end.

 

[MissM]

Quite bummed that the Netherlands didn't win this one..Tbh, England's batsmen bailed them out as their bowling and fielding performance was no where near worthy of a World Cup team! Holland pushed them right to the end! Hup Holland!

 

[pantsula]

Today it's our turn, kom SPAN !!!

 

[Murph]

Just wait for Smith to bat out his usual 3 or 5 and then the game starts
