Country:  | I actually feel sorry for you Aussies. You completely dominated the group stage and then lost to a stuggling team just starting to find form. 
What'll happen now is that England will return home, be praised as heroes, be given more MBE's, get complacent and think we're the best and then we'll get beaten in the Group stages by Kenya or Canada in the World Cup

Country: | HAHAHA CC thats the way to do it. Don't let complancey get in the way of a good bitch session. We lost a one day series and the Aussies will take the loss and learn from it, But the main part is we regained the Ashes so a one day series isn't as important to us then losing the Ashes again when it came to pride. You won the consolation prize and well done but we still have the Ashes and that must annoy the English | |

Country:  | You might beat the Kenyans, the Bangledeshi's, the Zimbawawans or perhaps the Scots or the Irish but that is about it. So you could come 5th or 6th overall...

What are you on about?! Did you not see last year, John Davison made the fastest World Cup century ever for Canada! They have my full support  YouTube - JOHN DAVISON vs WEST INDIES, 2003 WC

Country: | Well Skim my wife doesn't have a clue on cricket either. Come to think about it she doesn't know about Rugby Union or League. First time she saw a Super 12 game of Rugby Union 2 years ago. She said quiet loudly you are not playing that and why are they trying to kill the man with the ball? | |
