2007 Cricket World Cup - Aircraft of World War II

Wildcat · 03-12-2007, 04:05 AM

Well friends its that time again, the showcase of one day cricket is about to begin. Here is a thread to dicuss all aspects of the series.
I'm obviously backing the reining world champs, Australia, but I don't think they will have it all their way this time around.
Here are the groups and the game dates.
ICC Cricket World Cup 2007 - Cricket Australia

First game, Australia V Scotland, hmm could be close

Gnomey · 03-12-2007, 05:14 AM

Of course you will lose and go out in the group stages and it will be England v Scotland in the final

pbfoot · 03-12-2007, 05:17 AM

I believe Canada is sending a team the only reason I know is that a local sports station is trying to teach us about the game

Jared · 03-12-2007, 03:44 PM

Apparently a slower pitch with short boundaries. Should be good anyway

Australia for the win!!

Wildcat · 03-13-2007, 12:05 AM

Short boundary's all right, even I could hit a six at some of those grounds!

BTW Gnomey, stranger things have happened!

Australia wont be winning this year, watch out for sri lanka or new zealand.

Yeah like the Italians scoring 3 converted tries in 8 minutes against Scotland at Murrayfield in the 6 Nations...

Wild Old Kerry Packer God Rest his Soul will be pleased. Though not a fan of the one dayers. Just allow me to say this

BBC SPORT | Cricket | Australia too strong for Scotland

No surprise with the result... Aussies won by 203 runs.

Did you expect anything less Gnomey

Gnomey · 03-14-2007, 07:40 PM

Not at all, I expected you to bowl them out for less than you did...

Wildcat · 03-14-2007, 11:32 PM

Oh well, maybe next time Gnomey.

Jared · 03-15-2007, 12:07 AM

Lol... all I can say is "Ye be warned!" :P ^^

Emac44 · 03-15-2007, 12:20 AM

Just be sure it isn't your lot they bowl all out Gnomey. Cricket is a funny old game. One day hot to trot in the office next day mickey mouse with goofy at stumps. Trouble is with us Aussies Gnomey we are a cocky lot, but I suppose you already know that hahaha

Gnomey · 03-15-2007, 05:07 AM

Yes you are full of yourselves but when you have won as much as you have you sort of have a right to be cocky like that...
