Shebeen Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 (edited) Heard someone say that we better make sure that Japan doesn't discover the game of cricket! but on that note - here's a cricket article referencing the Jap rugby team - basically, moving down to a merit only format at the next world cup, there will be no more giant killing. http://www.espncricinfo.com/england/content/story/922767.html edit;actually added link Edited September 24, 2015 by Shebeen
milky4130 Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 that's not cricket - but banned for life, thought only hansie ever got that?!thats taking chirping to a whole new level, would love to know what was said between the 2.

And cricket is supposed to be the second most popular/watched sport in the world but can't find a way to include associate nations at it's showpiece event? If the ICC did the same as World Rugby and had four groups instead of two at the CWC then it wouldn't be out the realm of possibility that Ireland could've qualified for the knock out rounds. If World Rugby could make a plan then so can the ICC, they just don't want to spoil the big three's private party.

Mntboy Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 cricket World Cup does have associate nations participating in their showpiece, but I do get your point for my pools.Was referring to the next two that indeed may associate nationless as the ICC has decided on a 10 team format with the top 8 test teams qualifying automatically and the last is based on ODI form (can't recall exactly how they going to rate that) but this is more in favor of the remaining test teams. Why I favor having more pools is that every match counts and you can cut down on 'pointless' games. Also it means the tournament can be played inside a month and smaller teams can make the quarter finals.
GLuvsMtb Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 A very disappointing end to the second T20 game. Fans throwing bottles at players prompting the game to be delayed. Players have left the field for a second time and it seems like the game is ended with SA winning by D/L 15 runs.

Did you hear the commentator have a go at the police, who were just chilling watching the game.
GLuvsMtb Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 Disgusting. Did you hear the commentator have a go at the police, who were just chilling watching the game.I heard that, and the likes of Kohli and Dohni seemed to have a giggle about it while our captain and team manager was talking to the match referee. If this happened here in SA the Indian team would have been on the plane home after the game already.

Hopefully the environment at the game with put them in good stead for the upcoming games GLuvsMtb 1
deanbean Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 (edited) Bollocks, match abandoned. Settled in to watch the game, because I missed the others. I could have gone for a ride Edited October 8, 2015 by deanbean GLuvsMtb 1
