I've been at a conference for the past week but i did realise the cricket world cup started a couple of days ago and there seems to be a surprising lack of <span>enthusiasm </span>for the <span>tournament</span>. This could be due to the lack of free-to-air matches being broadcast or the period of the <span>tournament </span>which is simply, too long.
The main <span>matches </span>on the first two days have been crackers. I stays up and watches the first half of the West Indian innings and after putting up with that garbage, i went to sleep. I was pretty peeved when i woke up the next morning to read what happened after that point.
The talking point from the second day is will NZ make the 2nd round? They got flogged be Sri Lanka and they are going to <span>forfeit </span>the match against Kenya so it looks highly unlikely given that they have yet to play the WI or South Africa. Maybe docking the pitches just prior to a World Cup is another jem for Kiwi sports administrators but the results should have been expected by any person with half a brain.
What i think will happen is Fleming and co will do a back flip on the issue on Kenya but they will still fail to make the Super 6's.
The two sides i'm most looking forward to are India and Australia. If India can do a Sri Lanka and show that their form in recent months can be disregarded, everyone will be in for a real treat. I can't remember a stronger batting line-up since i started watching cricket seriously (late 80's) and they could inflict serious damage to any bowling attack especially one that is being held <span>together </span>by a few bits of sticky tape.
Australia's first match is today and this could be the match of the <span>tournament</span>. Are Australia going to come out with all guns blazing or are they just a shell of their former selves with injury affecting half the team. Pakistan are wellll....... Pakistan.
What ever happens, it should be a good month or 5 or however long this bloody thing is going to go for.
