World Cup 2015

[wristwatcher]

2 fa in the first over. Pakis are in all sorts

3 fa at the end of the third

4 fa after 3.1

On a team hat trick.

Patheticstan might be more appropriate.

Perhaps a team meeting after game one loss " We can't win so let's win some money!!"

[Jim05]

Pakis are 4/1

Reckon the Pakis got some good odds on the Windies winning, couple of dubious shots played

[dedja]

You never know when the Pakis are Fine Cotton or Bold Personality.

Have got a run on now and tripled their score.

[mal]

Has there been a more useless player across all forms of cricket for such a long period of time as Marlon Samuels?

Surely he's on the take?

Has made 6 Test hundreds
Has made 7 international ODI hundreds
That for starters does not make him a useless cricketer

Underachiever might be more appropriate than useless

[dedja]

Pakis 4/17

Misbah's a good player but he won't get them out of this massive hole.

[mal]

OK, not a dud but a huge under achiever. To me he epitomises what's been wrong with WIndies cricket for years. Talent to burn, but wastes it by not having a heart or giving a rats in 80% of his performances. How the diamond studs look is seemingly more important.

Anyway, back to the match, I thought Steve Bucknor was back on deck after that wide decision.

No heart ?
Have you ever faced bowlers that bowl 130 km +

To post he dosent give rats in 80% of his performances
I would safely say that is crapp

[dedja]

Now Misbah's gone ... 5/25

PS. Mal, give it a faarking rest with your stalking, it's boring and moronic

No need for another PM either

Dear Mr Keyboard Warrior
If you constantly mock elite sportsmen, you should expect posters like me to cross examine your posts

[dedja]

After 15 mins of ... do I reply to the post, do I send a PM, do I reply to the post ... that's the best you could come up with?

LOL

It's a free country, I'll post what I want.

Pakis 5/50

BTW, still wet and raining in Brisbane, highly doubtful to get any play

Dear Keyboard Warrior
My posts directed to you are what I consider factual
You are the one thats posting some rubbish

The Samuel File
* a more useless cricketer
* surely he is on the take
* not having a heart
* giving a rats about 80% of his performances
* how the diamond studs look is more important

Can you prove any of your accusations ?

Once again
Crapp post
Can you prove what i have been doing those 15 minutes ?

West Indies in a canter and still raining in Brisbane

[dedja]

No shock that the Brisbane match has been abandoned

[Jim05]

Would think in a tournament as big as a WC games could be re-scheduled

[dedja]

Not sure it's as easy as that.

Could this result, and a couple more upsets, condemn the Poms to minnow status by missing the quarters? Still a highly unlikely scenario despite their pathetic form.

Would have though that given the prediction of weather seemed pretty definite 2 days ago (at least from what I've been able to find) that something should have been done. Dud world cup already in my book with 1 game a week on free to air, teams playing only once a week and now the hosts and one of the major drawcards having a game abandoned without a ball bowled. Shifting the game to another state wouldn't have been impossible. People will have to have tickets refunded anyway, both teams would have had the same travel issue to deal with and agencies are well equipped to sell 50k tickets in a day or two.

Would love to see future world cups with more teams or have 2 games between teams in the pool stage. Or both. Just got to have teams playing their games closer together at this stage IMHO.

[Jim05]

Was mentioned on ABC the other day that the next World Cup is being cut to 10 teams but goes for 47 days, talk about overkill

We can relocate a man to walk on the surface of the moon nearly 50 years ago but being proactive about the re-location of a cricket match to avoid abandonment during a World Cup is obviously beyond the realms of possibility

Wednesday its a predicted wash out due to cyclone. How about the old hey Adelaide can you get 50,000 in at $50 a head? "Why yes we can and would be more than happy to provide the premier sports stadium currently in sport to facilitate this arrangement."

Now I know it's not as simple as that but surely something could have been done

[cracka]

Will this result hurt us, as it more than likely would have been a win but now we get stuck with 1 point for an abandoned game.

Shouldnt hurt at all, the winner of NZ and Aus will finish top.
Hurts the Poms more than anyone, Bangas a real shot to make the quarters
