Can't Bloody Wait For The World Cup

[CHAPPERS]

Oram's chopping his finger off and all sorts!

Oram amputation?

Just a matter of a FORNIGHT until the FUN begins! WOOOOOOOO!! West Indies v Pakistan in the first game which should be a good little indicator of the form of the two sides and England v New Zealand on the Friday (to the pub!).

Here's what the Grauniad have to say about each sides chances....



Place your bets now

WICKERD!

It's going to be GREAT cos most of the games are going to be at NIGHT because of the TIME DIFFERENCE.

Out of work, into the PUB, watch the CRICKERT.

 

[Seagullible]

looking forward to it, send the kids to bed and get watching

 

[Trigger]

It is going to be MINT.

Come on Kenya!

(Looking more forward to sitting at the County Ground, Hove for most of the summer though).

Just a word for this POLLARD chap from the West Indies, if you have not seen him play before you are in for a right treat if he gets his eye in... BIG HUGE MASSIVE HITTER.

I was wondering about that, do you know what time the games are going to start? There's no day night games is there.

 

[Chesney Christ]

What time start are they gonna be, and more specifically, England v New Zealand? Couldn't find any start times on cricinfo....

13:30 for England v NZ and most games. No floodlights in the Windies.

 

[Frutos]

Me either.

It's a long way off yet though, but we've got Euro 2008 to look forward to in the meantime.

Who is Kieron Pollard?

This young 19-year-old batsman from Trinidad and Tobago has been making a name for himself recently. He hit his maiden first class hundred on debut earlier this month against Barbados in the Carib Beer Series. The stunning innings of 126 off 150 balls was filled with 11 fours and 7 sixes. By all accounts, it was a sensational innnings that took a remarkable catch on the boundary to end. He followed that innings with 71 off 31 balls against Guyana on January 15 in the Carib Beer Series. Then two days later again against Guyana, this time in the one-day KFC Cup, he smashed 87 off 58 balls which included 6 fours and 7 sixes.

that's some hitting

 

[CHAPPERS]

I think that stuff about Pollard indicates that the big hitters are going to make a massive impact on this tournament. Should England move Pieterson up to 3 to take advantage of the power plays?

 

[Marshy]

its not even a competition till the group stages are over though.

The group stages are more like a warm up, the super 8's are when the real action starts.

 

[CHAPPERS]

You got that right, chet.

 

[Rougvie]

VERY excited, a proper sport with very little primmadonna toe-rags.

Nixon tho, not sure, think that will be the weak link.
