Ahhh, its here, the 9th ICC cricket world cup.

16 teams are HERE , in the West Indies for the tournament, which was officially opened today.

I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to see our boys win, but looking at their absolutely SAD state of affairs, I have doubts.

I think its a toss between the Aussies and South Africa, but then again this is the world cup and strange things do happen.


Whoever wins, all fine and well, but I'll be wearing my Maroon shirts and singing at the top of my lungs when its being played........................
....RALLYYYYYYYYYY , Rally round the West Indies, NOw and FOREVER!!!

AH today's the first match

The home side the WEst Indies vs Pakistan
Hoping that we ( WI) win

LOL, I am the only person in this thread? Oh well.........

YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
West Indies beat Pakistan by 54 runs............ WOOOHOOOO

I am a Pakistani supporter and got really bummed out when they lost that easily to the windies. I think that this is gonna be a terrific world cup, I hate the format though, 16 teams its really gay half the teams dont know how to play. Australia isn't so strong this time around so who knows what might happen.

HOLY F**KING SHIT

IRELAND beat PAKISTAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ............... when my brother told me that, I was stunned. I still cant believe it. My boys in the W.I team, you better be careful

AND............. AND ............... Bangladesh BEAT INDIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

what on earth is going on in this World cup

Congrats to Gibbs for making 36 runs in an over.

Canada and the Netherlands playing cricket!hysterical

in related new, The pakistani coach died yesterday. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

^ Very sad news indeed, it was depressing. pakistan cricket has hit an all time low, and the match to look out for is India vs. Sri Lanka. Basically if Sri lanka wins India is out!

NOt only did he die, but all evidence right now suggest that he was Murdered.

Haha India out of the world cup! I love it

After the Pakistan coach died, the team have made cricket history...

The only team to go to the Cricket World Cup, and come back with the ashes.


Hee hee.

This is turning out to be a weird World Cup. My money is on Sri Lanka, but its a shame that only four teams really turned up to play !!

DAMN West Indies, they are playing soooooooooooooooo shitty its embarassing.

OH well.

Congrats to Bangladesh on beat South Africa.

Yeah they were pretty disappointing this whole tournament, especially Chris Gayle, he was just getting going against South Africa before running himself out.

Frustrating !!

This has been a totally messed up WC, I lost interest in it very early on.

I find it amazing that not only is cricket totally boring, but the players when interviewed seem to have taken a few boring pills as well.

Im glad I live abroad and have no coverage of this whatsoever on TV

Who won then?

Australia. They're head and toes above every team

I wont ask by how many runs, wickets or Overs because I havn´t got a clue what it all means.

But a simple explanation would be cool, (who were the apponents?)

Well The semi finals were betwen
1. Sri Lanka and New zealand
2. Australia and South Africa

The final was between Sri Lanka and Australia and went by the same way since Australia is such a strong team. Their wicket-keeper scored the most runs and was the man of the match. Australia has now won the world cup 3 times in a row.

Some dodgy rulings with the rain and bad light hampered what could have been a classic finale.

And im sick of those Aussies winning everything !

A while back I heard on the radio some international cricket results, I can´t remember what the exact score was but they said it was a draw.

How the hell do you draw in cricket, surely if someone has more runs they win or not.
