ICC Cricket World Cup Thread

Because we allowed him to, our starting line up does that, and we don't change anything to get the upper hand, same old, same old, same old.

It's not as if Pollock is an unknown quantity, yet we went on the back foot from ball one, instead of putting in an attacking player to attack on the front foot.

And another goes.

So what would you suggests needs changing? Mentality or the opening partnership?

34th over: WICKET - Collingwood lbw Hall 30, Eng 115-5

Graeme Smith's wagging his finger like Dennis Taylor at the Crucible in 1985 - another bowling change has done the bizzo. Colly misses a straight one from Hall and England, much like the Knopfler brothers, are in dire straits.

I'm not a big fan of cricket but I watch England in the one dayers and the big tests but this sh!t is depressing. Why are we so crap at almost every major sport??

Crap/Boring world cup

pppffffttttt BBC man give it up. The guys at the Guardian cover this stuff much better. Stop trying to be 'out there'

I think he is really funny. Makes the dull games seem more interesting. They have taken a leaf out of cricinfo and are trying to make it more tongue in cheek

I particularly liked his Vaughan comment I posted earlier in the thread

[Shaggy]

Another one gone. 121-7. FFS.

[jonesie]

I was about to post that Flintoff has gone, and now Nixon's gone too.

121-7

[JohnnyLambert]

I can safely including all national teams England are ****e!!!

[SouthAfricaRed]

121/7 after 36 overs

I've just taken a bet on Manure to win the Treble and Chelski to win the CL

[lfc4ever]

Maybe now changes will be implemented, much too late - again.

[spud_gun]

Flintoff has been nothing short of ****e since the 05 Ashes series.

[jonesie]

Andrew Hall is a great bowler. Ripping through them.

Although to be fair I could probably do that...

[captainfog]

new management team, new selectors and collingwood for keeper

[Shaggy]

121-8, Hall again. He's on fire, and we're ****ing ****.

121-8, Hall again. He's on fire, and we're ****ing ****.

I could have told you that before the world cup.

Oh what a day to be South African.
