Cricket World Cup

`

The Jamaican police are saying that the death is being treated as suspicious now.The autopsy came back inconclusive.* *

 

This year is the 1st time I've ever gave it the time of day so I'm a novice ma-sel. But here goes(anyone who knows better please, correct me):

The idea of a One Day International (ODI) is that that team who bats 1st (decided by a coin toss and decision from Captain, much like football) has 50 overs (1 over = 8 balls) to score as many runs as possible. However, if all your batsman are bowled out or caught before the completion of the 50 overs, that's your batting done.

Then it's up to the other team to beat your total within their 50 overs. Of course, if the 2nd batting team hits their "target" of runs early, play stops and they are declared the winner. I think.

I'd just also like to say well done to the jocks for a brave effort against the might of S Africa, getting their highest ever world cup total against the No 1 ranked team. No bad.

 

don't believe i actually know this but there are 6 balls in an over man.
* i have to get out more

 

come on graham, stop pretending not to know anything about cricket, your really a closet cricket fan, its ok .

 

Shhhhh man don't tell these characters.The family would'nt cope with the shame.

are ye still up for bowling a few googlies laters????

 

Sounds delightful old chap. Tea and crumpits on stanby.

 

Lovely stuff Mr Ryan.I'll have Jeeves run you home afters.

Toodlepip old bean

 

Well, looks like Scotland have * it against Holland for *'s sake. All out for 136, that's less than we got against Oz or South Africa.

 

Wow this is horrible. The police are now saying Bob Woolmer was murdered. They are saying he was strangled.

 

Pakistani newspapers were saying that 3 days ago.They also said that a Malaysian bookie has been arrested,and snake venom may have been used to subdue Woolmer.
Also the manuscript for the book he was writing went missing days before.
Dodgy business,

 

christ this is crazy, of all sports for this to happen, yeah i heard that aswell, a group of them had serious money bets on and lost it all and took his life for it.

 

Tsk tsk. All you who said that cricket was boring.

In the football world cup you had to wait until after the tournament for that Columbian player to be killed. Now during, that's an action packed sport!

 

nah, not even if a full scale war broke out, I honestly have the upmost respect for anyone who has the endurance to watch a full live match, i can only take the highlights but i must admit this world cup has already caught my attention and i think im starting to get soft.

Anyone know who Ireland will be playing in the next round, wouldnt mind a bit of engerland!

 

Ive never watched Cricket in my life but the stuff about the Pakistan coach is dodgy.

Appartently someone close to him done it as there was no forced entry and no valubles taken. Plus he was staying on the 12th Floor of the Hotel in which you need a Key-Card to get up to via the lift.

 

Ireland will be playing Engerland in the Super 8's.

Too much to hope for another shock i suppose........isn't it??????

 

see in super 8s how does it work? do they all play each other coz its not like a 1/4 final eh its more like another big group. never really liked cricket but i watch the highlights and i watched south africa v aussies yesterday which was good i have to admit

 

Is it man?
i thought it was straight knock out's from now on in

 

Super 8 is str8 knok out

 

u sure? how do they not just call it a 1/4 final then?

 

Cos us cricketing folk are not as common as you my fine fella.

And we like to keep the peasant's confused.

Have to dash now those pheasant's won't shoot themselves ye knows
