WTF is going on!!!

[Treasurer]

I'm over in England right now WTF is going on lads.

 

[Kahuna]

We played absolutely ********e and teams are not afraid off us like they used to be. They see that we can be beaten.

 

[TorresIsGod]

I don't particularly care, the line up we put out today wouldn't strike fear in Scotland or Netherlands...

Couldn't care less if we sent an Under 17 Australian side for this useless CH series

 

[Treasurer]

Did we go too hard i nthe ashes? the World Cup is far mroe important than the ashes more maangement by Australia if thats the case.

 

[Grimreepah]

the World Cup is far mroe important than the ashes

wrong

 

[mbuck]

wrong

the spelling or the statement?

 

[Treasurer]

Not too Cricket Australia. I also personally couldn't give a toss about the ashes (easy said after we won) but i lost all interest after we lost our 20 years straight. Its now just a normal test series.

 

[Grimreepah]

the spelling or the statement?

both

 

[Milo the border collie]

I think we are losing our aura.

You are in the small minority my friend.

Pyjama cricket only exists to make money, real cricket is played in tests.

To an Australian there is no bigger test series than the Ashes.

It is like comparing AFL premiership to the NAB cup.

 

[Treasurer]

The ICC Cricket World Cup is the Showpiece event of Cricket. It determines who is the best nation in the world. Losing this and we are no longer the best team for at least 4 years.

In one form of the game.

If we don't win the world cup we will still be the best team in the most traditional and in my opinion most important form of the game.

ODI is not real cricket.

Ask any Aussie player if they would have rather won the Ashes this summer or the WC... none would have chosen WC.

not sure that i agree - it used to be the definitive guide as to who the ODI number 1 team were but the ICC rankings system are now the yardstick for both forms of the game

 

[Treasurer]

Winning the World Cup is Cricket Australia's highest priority.

 

[likka]

Bollocks.

 

[Treasurer]

Oh yeah and beating a 7th Placed nation in the ashes is much better.

 

[bus24]

Winning the World Cup is Cricket Australia's highest priority.

Well at the moment obviously. But please tell me you're not suggesting that the World Cup ranks over the Ashes.

 

[dont bowl there]

Dont listen to Treasurer he is a ********in moron.

 

[bus24]

Oh yeah and beating a 7th Placed nation in the ashes is much better.

2nd ranked team.

 

[starz]

SOS to our three best players.
Ponting, Lee and symonds, please come back.

 

[Treasurer]

Well at the moment obviously. But please tell me you're not suggesting that the World Cup ranks over the Ashes.

Thats waht i am suggesting.

The Ashes was boring and essentially a waste of my time watching that rubbish against an English team who had been on the piss for 18 months straight.

Winning a 3rd World cup in a row would would be the greatest ever achievement in Cricket and the World Cup is the event that determines who is the best in the world.

 

[eddiesmith]

The World cup can be lost by a bit of bad luck in a knockout game, you have to be the best team over 5 matches to win the Ashes

Big difference

Ashes is much more important than the world cup

 

[Treasurer]

So What England were bollocks over here and secondly its at home.

The Beauty of the World Cup its on a Neutral venue.

In terms on Marketing and sponsorship the world cup is planets above the Ashes.

So we judge what is better on how marketable it is?

In the Sub-Continent maybe.
