Well hurrah for this. As if the recent World Cup and particularly its final was not farcical enough already, it has just taken a turn for the bizarre. After Australia won the World Cup final, not necessarily due to being a better side, but because they could just see in the dark, Adam Gilchrist, who […]
As if any other result was likely. Admittedly, the circumstances surrounding their victory leave a lot to be desired, but nevertheless, the Aussies did more than enough, both during this game and throughout the tournament to be worthy winners. The final itself has been described as farcical, owing to the match ending in near darkness […]
I’ve got a gift, it seems. Whenever I “big up” anything, it always goes the opposite way. For example, I thought the semi-finals were going to be awesome and they turned out to be totally one-sided. Sri Lanka’s win over New Zealand (despite proving my prediction to be totally wrong) wasn’t so surprising. New Zealand […]
Six weeks later and we’re finally nearing the end of this bizarre World Cup. Fortunately we’ve got two very tasty looking semi-finals on the cards.
Semi 1: Sri Lanka vs New Zealand, Jamaica (Tuesday 24th)
First up is Sri Lanka vs New Zealand. Sri Lanka have the been the “surprise” of the World Cup, after demolishing several […]
After Marcus Trecothick’s epic departure from the Ashes, which was the catalyst for the England top order’s abject failure to score anything like a decent total ever since, he’s put the cat amongst the pigeons once again by showing us exactly what we’re missing in the side at the moment. After surgery for a double-hernia […]
It seems the early exploits of competition minnows and giant killers Bangladesh have come to an end as now New Zealand and Australia have easily brushed them aside. Australia were forced to endure a day of sitting about as overnight rain reduced the game to 22 overs. Bangladesh scored 104 from their 22 overs, which […]
Well the results are in from the Big Test: early indications are, it’s business as usual. But the scores don’t tell the whole story, in one of the games at least. Australia made no mistakes in defeating the West Indies, despite needing two days to do it due to heavy rain after Matt Hayden smashed […]
As the Super 8’s get underway, both Australia and South Africa, the big two teams of this tournament, are in action. Australia have already won the initial battle in defeating South Africa in the group stages, but in my book, these two sides look the most likely of making the final. But we’ve already seen […]
England did enough to get in to the Super 8 stage of the World Cup by beating Kenya in the final match of Group C. In a match delayed by heavy rain and subsequently limited to 43 overs, Kenya won the toss and bravely elected to bat first. They lasted until the final over, but […]
The next 2 days of the World Cup ought to offer some riveting cricket.
Today sees India in a must-win match against Sri Lanka for a place in the Super 8. Sri Lanka have been “rampant” thus far in the tournament, scoring large totals and looking in total control. India were unconvincing in their loss at […]
