    2007 Cricket World Cup

    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

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

    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

    BBC SPORT | Cricket | Australia too strong for Scotland

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

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

    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

    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...
