SirFozzie Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Well, Ireland's minipush is getting brutally squashed, as South Africa become the first team ever to score 400 in consecutive ODI games, finishing at 411/4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleavy Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 It looks like the Ireland vs Pakistan match will decide which team progresses to the quarter finals. (unless the Windies stumble further) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirFozzie Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Ireland squeaks through by five runs against Zimbabwe.. Now they're actually hoping for the weather gods to pull through, as a No Result (weather) against Pakistan or India will put them through (If the Windies fail to win against the UAE, they will also be through) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 But really, is it ever an upset anymore when England get bounced in cricket? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirFozzie Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Well, since I had a bit of time, I bought and read Kevin Pietersen's auto biography on Kindle. I have a jumble of thoughts about it, but this is most prevalent. A) Kevin Pietersen is a diva. He is the epitome of the modern cricket superstar. A bit prone to creating drama and needs careful management. He straight up admits he has no interest in warm up games (he calls them Harvey Norman or "Zero Interest Down" games), and dislikes ODI's. BUT.. B ) What we saw in England this World Cup is just the end result of bad decisions five+ years ago where cliques basically destroyed the Ashes winning side of 2009. When you get modern superstars on one side, and dyed in the wool, conservative stick in the mud types running the show on the other, things are going to break down. Hard. They failed to develop the next Freddy Flintoff (or Kevin Pietersen for that matter, even if he is South African), and the current generation of players are just not up to the challenge. I feel like they're going to wilt hard under the pressure of this summer's Ashes series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death From Above Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 I don't know why I am surprised every single time that South Africa find a new way to drop the world cup, but I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirFozzie Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 FOr Americans, this is like Vin Scully dying, except Benaud was a national hero as a player before he became a commentator, and became an international hero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
