yea good score should be hard to beat..

This is going to be good, 7.5 runs per over, you know they're not going to sit back.

BZINGA · 29-04-2007, 05:33 AM

: 1 down.

ED Classic · 29-04-2007, 05:36 AM

Bracko just broke through...beuty

Dont know what will be better 4 cups or the 3 in a row or the revenge on Sri Lanka beating us in a final...All provided we win of course.

XR8putts · 29-04-2007, 05:53 AM

Can't believe I woke up early to watch this. Bloody Gilly!

Go Sri Lanka

Edit: I'm going back to bed, not worth it. :togo:

rodderz · 29-04-2007, 06:50 AM

Been up all night watching it... a full loaf of raisin toast to keep me going

the lankans are making a game of it though, the total the aussies made in just 38 overs was huge

XR8putts · 29-04-2007, 06:52 AM

Yup, Lankians going okay..

Racecraft · 29-04-2007, 07:11 AM

it is a disgrace imho, that for a tournament to go for SOOOOO long and then (even though they have a rain scheduled day tomorrow) that the final is only 3/4 of a game.

Cheapens the game and definitely will cheapen the Aussies win due the the lack of overs. The Lankins are at a huge disadvantage and the Aussies would of been cheering having to face less overs from the Lankins bowling attack.

ED Classic · 29-04-2007, 07:16 AM

Ah well lifes tuff I guess & its equal atleast. Aussies will get it under Duckworth in a minute...too good

What a farce... Worst win ever :(

XR8putts · 29-04-2007, 07:22 AM

Am I the only one that thinks the Lankians can have a decent crack at the win if the weather lets them?

XR8putts · 29-04-2007, 07:24 AM

SO the rain stops, and they call it off?! WTF.

DJR David · 29-04-2007, 07:27 AM

I spent the last 10years working in the Caribbean.
This is typical of how organised they are!!!!!!

ED Classic · 29-04-2007, 07:41 AM

jayawardene on his way back to his seat

ED Classic · 29-04-2007, 08:05 AM

Mick Clarkes on fire..Not long to go now.

**Fordman1** · 29-04-2007, 08:18 AM

All over Aussies World champs again !!

XR8putts · 29-04-2007, 08:23 AM

Lol worst game ever! WTF is going on out there?

FlipXW · 29-04-2007, 08:27 AM

that was intense.. why cant it end i need sleep lol. first all nighter ive pulled in years. congrats to aust.. YEWWWW

ED Classic · 29-04-2007, 08:29 AM

Dont know about the worst game but hand the bloody cup to the winner for goodness sake even the Sri Lankan captain conceeded

ED Classic · 29-04-2007, 08:30 AM

If anything is being hard on the Lankans who just want it to be over

exactly

**Fordman1** · 29-04-2007, 08:34 AM

Finally !!

In the end that was a freaking farce.....

XR8putts · 29-04-2007, 08:37 AM

It's about bloody time!

Congrats you b@stards, well deserved. By far the best team. It's a pity it ended the way it did.

I'll go back into my hole and cry. NZ puts up a bad show at the America's Cup, Ambrose crashes out after a brilliant run, and now the Aussies win the WC. What a day for NZ sport :evil3:

Racecraft · 29-04-2007, 08:41 AM

pffft... worst win ever!!
what a COMEDY
I feel sorry for the Lankans, they never had a chance today..If you could come back and finish it tomorrow due to bad light, wtf was with the duckworth system, or even why start the game today anyway if they never had a chance of finishing it during DAYLIGHT.. Such a shame that the WC drags on for so long to end like that..

Poor Big Glenn and the aussie coach, what a shocking way to bow out..

Walkinshaw · 29-04-2007, 08:45 AM

Classic game. Everyone will remember that one.

Cheep *****' should buy a few candels

rodderz · 29-04-2007, 08:45 AM

Had to laugh at the ground guys, they were setting up for the after game concert and were told to pack it up again for 3 more overs!

Even Glenn had to put his souvenir stump back!

ED Classic · 29-04-2007, 08:46 AM

Couldnt have bowed out better...Undefeated all tournement and leading wicket taker....You beuty Aussie

Good to see Sri Lankans were good sports. There time will come...

Walkinshaw · 29-04-2007, 08:52 AM

Not often you hear officials of a sport booed on the presentation stand (well mabey Tony Cockroach)

Sir Garfield did not look overly pleased
