Starts today...any followers?
Hopefully Canada can cause a few upsets. They have a few big hitters but seriously lack any relevant experience. I hope this is the one South Africa finally comes good on. |

I very much enjoy watching cricket. Alas, there isn't much to be seen on television here in Germany.

Not much coverage at home, except Little Expected of Canada at Cricket World Cup.
If I can find some on television, I'll see what I can understand... John

Well, they lost...but Sri Lanka is a great team.
Most exciting 100 I ever saw was Davison (the Canadian opener) in the world cup 12 years ago. Hopefully someone can help Canada pull of a nice vistory or two this time round. |

Ok I just read the following news article:
Quote:
Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi took five wickets to dash Canada's hopes in a 46-run victory at the Cricket World Cup in Colombo, Sri Lanka, on Thursday. I think it means that Pakistan beat Canada but not as badly as expected. The rest is pretty hard to translate into Canadian. Can anyone help? John

Canada almost pulled of a miracle victory. They needed one batsmen to perform well but just at things looked allright, the Pakistani captain ended it. Was an OK match.

Those canuckers needed an all-rounder not some dibbly dobbly. For those who believe Canada is full of pasty white people check out their cricket team....I'm wondering if all of them have actually been to Canada. I think it is just their attempt to trying to remain part of the United Kingdoms colonies.
Go Ireland! Yeah Australia! Rock on India! Nuke 'em Pakistan! Oops....shouldn't have used that last cheer. |

When I was a kid, there was one park in Calgary where you could see cricket all summer. Almost all of the players then were either British or West Indian ex-patriots. If you stumble across a cricket game today, you're more likely to see Indian and Pakistani ex-pats or their children. As far as I can understand the reporting, it looks like Canada is in the middle of a game with Kenya and has some sort of chance... John

Wow, not bad at all!
Now I really might have to learn the rules of this crazy game. John
