    The Official 20/20 Cricket World Cup Thread!

    Right, it all starts on Tuesday when the hosts South Africa take on the Windies in Jo'berg.

    I love this cricket format - short explosive games. Hope England do well and they should qualify in their group against Australia and Zimbabwe (top 2 go through).

    I hope Pakistan do well and I think this form of cricket is suited to them.

    Whatever happens it will be a great event IMO - unlike the recent Cricket WC which went on forever!

    I think the following will qualify:

    Group A - South Africa and Bangladesh
    Group B - England and Australia
    Group C - Sri Lanka and Kenya
    Group D - India and Pakistan

    I think it's between Sri Lanka, Australia and shock horror England.

    I see no reason why we can't do well in this tourney. We're playing much better limited over cricket and think we'll surprise a few in the international community that might have written us off

      Surely West Indies will qualify?

        I don't think so. Bangladesh are getting better and better at one day cricket and Windies can be pretty ****ing awful on their day. I fancy an upset.

          Who else thinks too much cricket is played?
          .
          Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.



          May the Lord bless this post.
