ICC Cricket World Cup ** spoilers ** [14th February – 29th March 2015]

[e36Adz]

England and Pakistan, pack your bags and go home. Two seriously embarrassing performances.

Crikey, Malinga is looking pretty paunchey.

 

[Sankari]

Lankans beat Afghanistan by 4 wickets.

 

[Sankari]

Another shocking upset! Amazing scenes as India mutilates South Africa, romping home by a whopping 130 runs.

As always, the Saffas are furious at losing to a dark-skinned team...

 

[Sankari]

MS Dhoni: I think more than just the result, it was how we played. Back to back performances by both the bowling and batting units. South Africa are a very good side, so one more complete performance. We can only speculate how important the toss was. We were able to swing the ball under lights.

AB de Villiers: "The run-outs cost us dearly tonight, just when we got started with the bat. We lost our way. Thought our bowlers fought back well, we were looking at 350 at one stage. It was a 270-275 kind of wicket, but looking at the way the Indians batted, it was a good effort to restrict them to 307. Obviously, as a South African, it hurts a lot when you lose to a dark-skinned— [microphone is cut off]

Struggling to see any media coverage of that quote, assumed it would be all over *******.

The rest of his statement was rather dull, I just livened it up a bit.

 

[GarethSouthpete]

Thanks for that momentarily destroyed my admiration of the guy <3

Hope you Aussies get battered soon too

 

[Sankari]

I think New Zealand are the big threat right now; not looking forward to a clash with them!

 

[GarethSouthpete]

They might be the same as India and peak too early.

 

[manic111]

Bell's making these boys look like Walsh and Ambrose.

 

[Sankari]

0 for 121, easy win for England.

Think best bet for England is to give up ODIs and leave them to the colonies where it appears people are still actually interested in them

 

[manic111]

Thank god for that. I know he got 50 but that was a shocking innings.

There are no colonies left. Not even Scotland.

I can guarantee a sudden surge of interest for ODIs among English cricket fans after England wins this game.

 

[manic111]

Oh dear...

 

[Sankari]

5 for 292. England making up for lost time. No chance of Scotland chasing down >300.

 

[Sankari]

England finish on 8 for 303.

 

[Sankari]

Plucky Scotland all out for 184; England wins by 119 runs.

 

[Sudden]

Plucky Scotland all out for 184; England wins by 119 runs.

England losing to Scotland would've been pretty bad

Though Afghanistan came scarily close to beating Sri Lanka :S
