The World Cup thread

[Mr_Nyah]

If the Australian Cricket Team was only made up of guys who weren't s**t blokes, then we'd have been spending the last month playing ODIs against the Netherlands and Zimbabwe.

Smith, for all the issues the sand-paper stuff says about his strength of leadership, has always struck me as a good bloke, and he's arguably the best batsman in the world.

 

[Marstermind]

Sorry, that's a load of crap. No relationship between the quality of a player and the quality of the person. None.

Yeah. That's kinda what I was saying. We've had many great players over the years and a lot of them conducted themselves poorly on the field.

 

[SpiderBurton22]

Go the Kiwi's.

Guptill to awake from his slumber and bury the Poms.

 

[scottywiper]

Save the weekend Kiwis!

Save the weekend Kiwis!

Storm and Cam Smith have already done that -Kiwis would be a bonus.

Thinking of having a drink in honor of the guys in Blue. Irish whiskey, Jamaican Rum or NZ Sav Blanc?

Don't forget a South African Amarula.

I'd throw in Serena Williams getting hammered. Storm -> Serena losing -> Kiwis. Doesn't make up for * winning but....

 

[Hearts to hearts]

Guptill looks ready to go well today. Fingers crossed.

Yeah..nah...

 

[Hearts to hearts]

I apologise, KiwiRoo and all Kiwis.

Thought exactly the same. His partner needed to tell him not to waste it.

I don't get it. In a situation like that the ball has to be missing everything and clearly it wasn't. How neither Nicholls or Guptill knew it boggles me. (Not that my cricket career would qualify me to say. Although technically I won the bowling average in my final season at Under 14s. 4 balls - 6, 6, 4, catch at long on, game abandoned. Finished the season with a bowling average of 16.)

 

[Marstermind]

Need to get a move on here. Falling behind.

Nah, the Kiwis like to pace themselves.

If they get 280 + I reckon they'll back Boult on this pitch. It's just got a little bit in it.

Yeah. If Williamson bats through. If he goes here then they are on the back foot big time.

The WORST call for a video replay EVER

 

[Hojuman]

Building a nice little platform. Keep it up boys. South Pacific pride on the line.

 

[muttley45]

Go Kiwi's, big Pommy choke would be glorious.
