So whats the bet Ryder is out on the piss right now?

Who's trying to smack Dan in the balls?

Stupid English rain.

If the game does start at 12.30, it'll then be a five-over fixture. The purists will be outraged.

That'd be good fun... Five overs of mayhem. Could five over games be the next big thing?

Kinda like indoor cricket then?

[happybaboon]

Only pussies play cricket indoors.

90 from 7 overs to win.

[crazychris]

when's the next game?

[happybaboon]

Who'd have thought an NZ vs Scotland game could be that exciting

Loved that Jesse Ryder bit where he swatted 4 boundaries in a row Also loved the line from the commentator when that poor Scot dropped a skied one and then kicked it over the boundary "Ooohhh and 'es 'oofed it fer four!!!!!"

Nice work by the Scots though. They batted really, really well. I think they would have beat many of the top teams - it's only NZ's ridiculous hitting skillz that got them through.

Yeah, that was fun to watch. Every ball was crucial.

In other related news - Chris Gayle beats Australia. Brett lee smashed for 51 of his first 3 overs, mostly by Gayle.

169 on that pitch is pathetic! Shame on the Aussies

Clog-wearing part-time cricketer, full-time stoners beat England http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BGHW_pI ... re=popular

Aussies knocked out of the tournament!

[happybaboon]

Oooooooh out in the first round. Burn.

Some interesting stuff going on at the moment.

Australia thwarted by England's tail end. Ponting throws another tantie.

Bangladesh beat the West Indies. Effectively a West Indies second 11 but you can only beat the team you're put against.

Pakistan getting out of the poo erasing a 160 run first innings deficit after making only 90 in the first innings.
