Cricket World Cup

Was there a cricket game on last night? I must've missed it

Nah, well done Aussie, quite clearly the best team in the world and therefore deserved WC champions. Just a pity that the other teams besides India didn't really play to their potential to give Aussie a challenge.

shame there wasnt a playoff between 3rd and 4th..
would probably have been the best game of the comp.


well done oz----yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwnnnnnnnnnnnn

A positive for the kiwis. Our highest innings score is no longer against you.

Undefeated throughout the tournament... the best team by a country mile.
India needed 360 to win... a massive score... There would been riots in the streets if a bit of rain and Duckworth/Lewis robbed the Aussies.

Sorry Ozbash, where did the Kiwis finish? I havent bothered looking. Does 5th or 6th count for anything?

 

[ozbash]

no, its all right there young willow. no need for apologies.
we were of course, considerably disadvantaged by our courageous decision not to play in kenya and also there was that incident at the tiger tiger where kiwi hero cairnsey was picked on by local bully boys and crucified by the local press.

we came to sth africa hot on the heels of a protracted players strike and a uninspiring tour by india,thus preventing us from venturing across the creek and giving you lot a tickle up.

after these (and others) negatives, i feel the boys did well and were in fact the true champions in africa surmounting these adversties.

roll on next summer.. what about billy tho,,eh ??

So is it true thatNZ are thinking of only competing with indoor cricket teams from now on?
