ICC Cricket World Cup Thread

I believe only the final and Jamaica semi are sold out at the moment, at least through the official site anyway. A lot of people will probably wait to see who's playing who in the super 8's and the locals iwill probably wait until the last minute as usual.

Like I said before accomodation will probably be a bigger headache than getting tickets.

The bowler for Scotland looks like Pepe

WORLD CUP, GROUP A, ST KITTS:
Australia 97-1 (19 overs) v Scotland
Australia lost their first wicket in the 17th over when Adam Gilchrist fell for 46 to leave his side on 91-1 against Scotland.

Gilchrist was lbw to Dougie Brown after Scotland won the toss and elected to bowl in St Kitts.

Australia made a cautious start and survived a couple of early scares from Scottish paceman Paul Hoffmann.

But Gilchrist and Matthew Hayden soon eased through the gears with some sumptuous strokeplay.

I'm flitting between the cricket and Cheltenham

[Shaggy]

Cheltenham all the way for me. Can't get excited about the Aussies against some jokers.

[Mumsafan]

In between races - I can't be doing with watching re-runs of some nag from the 70s with a voice over from some toothless Paddy who I can't undertand

I like to see them all in the paddock and going down and I like to see footage of them on the gallops. I love it.
