Cricket - what is Rug be?

[riffer]

Agree with you Dave.

Here's hoping Matthew Hayden will stall at the start of the innings again, they'll score 200 and we'll wup them.

But something tells me it won't be that easy. The Aussies sure know how to rise to the occasion.

[Drum]

Still a couple of big games before we make it, but I'm picking NZ v OZ.

["D" FZ1]

Kiwis to win against Aussies ???????

[Hitcher]

If Shane Bond's fit, the Aussies are doomed.

[k14]

If Shane Bond's fit, the Aussies are doomed.
I'm not holding my breath. One more injury and I'd say we are screwed. Specially if its Vettori, Fleming, Oram, Bond.

I'm pretty hopeful we will make the final but maybe we'll see those little sri lankans take down the auzzies in the other semi?

[Big Dave]

If Shane Bond's fit, the Aussies are doomed.

You could be right.

[Big Dave]

I like the boy.

Don't count out Sri Lanka, hopefully the Aussies will get them in the semis.

yeah - true - and the stars might align and England produce what they are capable of - not what they often do. KP a 120 and it's all over rover.

Same for SA. Although my lot dusted 'em up a few games ago.

[Skyryder]

I wouldn't bet on any of them. Probably 'fixed' for an outsider to win.

Sri Lanka is that the team with the fellas who don't chuck it?

I'm not tipping my boys, I've learnt not to do that from bitter experience.

Anyway we don't have enough power hitters for the small grounds in the Windies. Bigger venues that favour Collingwood-style rotate the strike stuff would give me more confidence....hey-ho the pyjama game is cricket for people that don't like cricket. Gimme the real 5-day game any time.

[BigG]

South Africa v Black Caps, Aus v Shri Lan, Semi's
Final Black Caps v Shrilanka:third: Aust

[Big Dan]

NZ to beat Ireland in the Final - (nah just pulling your chain)

but serousily I'm picking NZ to beat Sri Lanka in the final by say 4 wickets with a player on either side to make a centry

This world cup plays with your sleeping habits and makes for a long day

It surely does. However shift work is the winner. Just checked the roster and it just so happens that I am not working on any of the days which NZ is playing for the rest of the world cup. That also includes both semis and the final :Punk:

[Joni]

Hmmmm - Heart says SA vs AU

Head says AU vs Sri Lank, or maybe NZ

:sunny:

[Big Dave]

Yep - I'm on rotating shift - depends if it's worth watching X v Bangla is zzz time - same for Ireland

[avgas]

Haga vs Biaggi:shutup:

Haga vs Biaggi:shutup:

wrong thread buddy

Yeah same for me, won't get up specially to watch anyone cept NZ playing. Will still get up at 7 or 8 to watch the end of a few of the other games though. Still has yet to be any decent games in the whole world cup. Super 8's have all been really boring and one sided. Lets see one get down to 10 off the last over.

Yeah I think we have to wait till NZ play SA or AUS to get a last over climax isn't it a funny thing how quickly we forget the run chases in Auckland and Hamilton against Aussie

Right now i think we have the best chance and the Batsman to bring home the silverware lets see i'll give you all my best 11

1. Marshell
2. Fleming
3. Taylor
4. Styris
5. Macca
6. Oram
7. McCullam
8. Vettori
9. Bond
10.Franklin
11.Patel
Gillespie (12th Man)

Brazil I reckon.................

Gota be in with a chance. After all every Brazilian can count to eleven.

you watching now? - eng need 3 off 1

[k14]

Yep just saw that, very exciting finish.

Now I just need to remember the night before NZ's next game to post that I want NZ to win :done:

[Big Dave]

And then followed with the promo for the 'excitement' of SA v Ban - whooop ^&#!@*% ee

[SPman]

I wouldn't bet on any of them. Probably 'fixed' for an outsider to win.

Skyryder
Nah - Pakistans out........

[Swoop]

cricket or rugby? If its cricket I dont give a rats.....
Neither matters. Both are crap.

Haga vs Biaggi:shutup:
:first: At last, decent viewing!!!


What is the current joke doing the rounds?
Pakistan. The first team to go to the world cup and return with the ashes....

[Patrick]

Skyryder

Didn't think there was that many pubes left in a Brazillian...

I have a $1 bet that Ireland and Bangladesh would be in the finals... I have such high hopes that my winnings will mean I can buy Microsoft for cash...

[Big Dave]

Aus and black caps thru to semis - lookin good.

[Hitcher]

The trick now is to lose to Australia only once -- like in the last round robin match. That way we finish second and get another crack at them in the final.

You have more trouble with SL lately?

[Hitcher]

Not until the semis. We have a better net run rate...

[Big Dave]

You'll be staying up all night enthralled by the BAN v IRL clash then?

[Big Dave]

Hmmmm - Heart says SA vs AU

Head says AU vs Sri Lank, or maybe NZ

:sunny:

Da winner.

[Hitcher]

It should be an absolute cracker of a final -- two form teams going head-to-head.
