2007 Cricket World Cup Thread

Recommended Posts

Considering the amount of people here who follow it, and the fact that I too am following it due to the number of WIndians I work with, I'm starting a thread regarding the 9th Cricket World Cup, currently being contested in the West Indies.

Yesterday, the Windies defeated Pakistan by 54 runs in the opening match.

Right now, Australia is taking on Scotland at St. Kitts, and setting a pretty strong pace in the process.

Meanwhile, at Gros Inlet in St. Lucia, the world famous Canadian Cricket Association is battling Kenya. Bet you didn't know Canada had a cricket team, eh?

And there you go. I wouldn't mind going to this one year -- especially when it's held in the Carribean. Say what you want about cricket, any sport has its awesomeness multipied when palm trees are in the background.

[Croatia National Team Manager Slavan] Bilic then went on to explain how Croatia's success can partially be put down to his progressive man-management techniques. "Sometimes I lie in the bed with my players. I go to the room of Vedran Corluka and Luka Modric when I see they have a problem and I lie in bed with them and we talk for 10 minutes." Maybe Capello could try getting through to his players this way too? Although how far he'd get with Joe Cole jumping up and down on the mattress and Rooney demanding to be read his favourite page from The Very Hungry Caterpillar is open to question. --The Guardian's Fiver, 08 September 2008
