What a dickhead.

 

[Angela Harlem]

[MadForIt]

Who? Me or Symonds?

 

[Axver]

Probably both.

 

[MadForIt]

 

[cobl04]

Symonds.

 

[intedomine]

For having a drink....

 

[MadForIt]

LOL

HOLLAND beat England

AWESOME

I was willing them all the way - what a game to open the tournament. So much drama. Great for Holland, they batted so well!

Biggest moment in dutch cricket history

Thats what england get when you play Windies 6 million times in a row!
They deserve to lose, so shit

 

[MadForIt]

No chance

You guys better just fly to Amsterdam for a proper test series

 

[coolian2]

the motherfucking netherlands?

are you for fucking real? that's actually better than the paddies beating pakistan back in 07.

4 REAL

 

[yertle-the-turtle]

Unbelievable, and a shout out to Interference's resident Dutch cricket fan Salome if he's seeing this.

 

[coolian2]

i just wanted someone else to say it again

 

[MadForIt]

The English Cricket Correspondent off Cricinfo
"So it's official. This tournament, a global tournament, a direct descendant of the same World Cup that England have failed to win even once in its 34-year history, is nothing more than a knockabout to fill in time and ascertain form before the Ashes begin. Somebody save us from this monstrous delusion. The world is moving forward but England are looking back. And now even the minnows are biting at their heels."

Spot on. As i said before, England only care about Australia. I hope the Aussies teach them a lesson. Win each test by an innings and 500 runs.
If they stopped having wet dreams about Ricky Ponting for one moment, they might be able to win a game sometime when it matters. I find it hilarious how England are useless at limited overs cricket. It's not like they are any good at tests either.

I think NZ will have a good Cup. McCullum, Oram, Rdyer and Taylor can smash it about a bit.

 

[Angela Harlem]

Cricket needs close and exciting matches. No more walkovers.

 

[MadForIt]

West Indies demolish Australia
Therefore England are better than the West Indies as they smashed them about
Netherlands are better than England as they beat them
Therefore Australia are rubbish and worse than Netherlands

Order of greatness
Netherlands
England
Windies
Aussieland

Hope you see the logic

 

[intedomine]

2020 is not real cricket.....

 

[cobl04]

Dirk Nannes is playing for Holland...

For having a drink....

I didn't see the full story... now I'm disappointed. He should know the rules, yes, but fuck. 20 years ago...

 

[MadForIt]

Aussie out
Eng scrape through
EVEN Ireland made it

Aus get rewarded with 2 weeks in the shithole of Leicester!

 

[cobl04]

You'll find none of us give a fuck!

Wait for the real cricket before you start spruiking!

 

[MadForIt]

Spruiking?
It matters to Brett Lee
He was smashed all over the place.

First time since 1992 Aus failed in 1st round of a major international tournament

Should be a day of mourning in Australia today
A national enquiry
Kevin Rudd stepping in as emergency coach
A minutes silence at 12 noon to remember the good times
the flags at half mast
flowers outside every cricket ground in the land
A national appeal for money to find good cricketers
People protesting the streets demanding a decent team
A huge cull of cows to provide the leather for more cricket balls
Homeless people wondering, Where is the next victory coming?

Bradman will be turning in his grave

 

[cobl04]

Stick around for the Ashes, it's going to be good fun.

 

[MadForIt]

I sometimes underestimate how funny i can be
I must be a godlike genius

 

[cobl04]

I do mean that, we didn't really have an anti-Aussie here last Ashes.

How the fuck do you think you'll go so well when Pietersen - who isn't even British - can't stand up and big Freddie Pea Heart Flintoff is struggling as well?

We're not really that much into cricket as the media makes us out to be. Most folk don't even know this 2020 thing is on.

You left Ireland out at the top of that list... They beat the Netherlands in the ICC world cup qualifying tournamnet a month or so ago, so ireland outrank England by 2 places, even though they poached their best player...

PS the Ireland Bangladesh game has been the game of the tournament so far. The O'Brien brothers are stars.

Someone please give them Test status, and their players back (Joyce and Morgan)

If that happens, then the pride of Ireland, young Eoin Morgan will be their star. Fucking poachers. I hear JJ Atkinson, the young keeper from hong Kong is also looking for a game

 

[MadForIt]

Andrew Symonds is from Birmingham, ENGLAND
Thats why you dropped him
He has been sober for years

Fair enough reason to drop someone...

 

[cobl04]

I hope Ireland start really coming along too.

That Canadian bloke who played for South Aus was pretty good too.
