[Cricket] World Cup 2007

[snyper]

btw.. how can an Irish playergets to play for UK?.. do all Irish cticzens have dual citizenship of UK or Joyce took the citizenship of UK?..

If you are from the north of ireland yes, you can get dual . . u are considered british up there but can get an irish passport too.handy when travelling in the middle east.

Ed Joyce is from The south, but in Cricket if you live in the country for 4 years u can play for them...hence why joyce is a sellout.

any video of Malinga's 4 ball 4 wicket haul ?

did anyone see last night's match? it wasn't that exciting until the last few overs of the match where SA tried choking. 4 wickets in 4 balls.

Missed it myself, past my bedtime.

You called Ed Joyce a sell out.

So all the English & Scottish born football players of Scottish or English parents that had a great great grandparent that may have been Irish playing for E.I.R.E. are they also 'sell outs'?

The same reasoning could also be said of all the British born men and women some that are 5th generation supporting India or Pakistan at cricket are they also sell outs?

England and Wales (thats what the England team really are) have had South Africans, Australians, New Zealanders and West indians playing for them.

Some of what you wrote is right, however correct me if it's changed, but when you join a country if you don't declare you can play for England you are seen as an overseas player, if you are a South African of course there is a period of 4 years residency before you can play for England.

The guy for Sri Lanka is a deadly weapon to have. Lasinth Malinga's bowling technique is funny to watch but truly effective. LOL The guy is one of the best I've seen bowling.

He's a fast bowler.

One is only a sell out if they are Irish and play for England. :whistle:

Super 8 Vs Ireland

Endland 23 for 2 after 6 overs :whistle:

[kingroach]

Ireland gave 10 extras.. if they can keep extras on low.. england will have a hard time.

[snyper]

OH MAN THIS WOULD BE GOLD IF WE JUST BEAT ENGLAND AND LOST ALL THE OTHERS!!

The english press have done nothing but moan about Ireland in the S8's all week.

the love for cricket LOL this was in Antigua for the West Indies vs Australia match. :rofl:

[snyper]

^ That pic is about 18 months old.

[mkol]

Westindies gone out god what is this world cup coming too. It was so depressing watching windies struggle today. .

This world cup is a commercial disaster

[H5N]

^ Agreed.

I predict a Aus-NZ or Aus-SRL final. Although I can't rule out RSA either.

[Emon]

Can't wait for the BD vs. NZ match! Hey we beat em once .. we *might* beat em one more time :yes:

[tmahmood]

^ Hey!! Looks like I've miss the whole party! Bangladesh FTW... Lets hope we put a good fight against NZ today

[Crazysah]

A NZ-RSA final would be awsome...

[red.]

As long as Australia don't win i'll be happy.

Brilliant Game yesterday watching England vs Sri Lanka.

if you want to see pics of the Super 8 games in Antigua check this site: www.cricketlime.com lots of serious fans in the stadium.

[Crazysah]

Yeah. Sad to see England loosing but was a great game I must say. Almost as good as South Africa vs Sri Lanka.

[H5N]

The Sri Lanka vs England game was intense. I thought England would be able to pull it off. It was an awesome fightback by them though. The extras really killed them. Sri Lanka have been involved in a couple of tight matches so far.

[H5N]

Oh my god, Bangladesh is owning South Africa. 87/6 :woot:

Target is 252. Bangladesh FTW!

[tmahmood]

Almost there :woot:

[giga Veteran]

Excellent win for Bangladesh. (Y)

[tmahmood]

HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D :D

[H5N]

Stunning victory! Well deserved! :yes:
