ICC Cricket World Cup 2011

really? ahahha, go Zim, you bunch of beauts :)

update compliments of Supersport :)

Aus: 153/3 33rd over

33rd over: WICKET - What a piece of fielding from Mpofu to end Ricky Ponting’s innings! Clarke plays a Williams’ delivery to deep midwicket and the batsmen turn for a second run. Mpofu swoops on the ball and fires in a wonderful throw to the non-striker’s end and scores a direct hit.
Ponting is well short of his ground and is run out for 28.
32nd over: WICKET - Cremer strikes Watson on the pads, with a delivery that straightens just a touch, and appeals for a leg-before decision. Watson is well forward and umpire Kettleborough says not out. Zimbabwe ask for the decision to be reviewed and replays show the ball hitting middle and off stump halfway up!
The on-field decision is overturned and Watson is on his way for a well-played 79 off 92 balls, which included eight fours and a six, and the Zimbabweans are more than a little excited!
Watson and Ponting added 79 runs for the second wicket.
31st over: Left-arm spinner Sean Williams is on for a bowl and he sees the first ball that he bowls skip off to the fine leg boundary courtesy of Shane Watson’s bat.
29th over: Watson is starting to look more than a little ominous as he clips a Chigumbura delivery down to the fine leg fence for four.
28th over: Watson has the first six of the innings as he pulls a Cremer delivery high over deep midwicket. That shot brings up the 50-run partnership for the second wicket between Watson and Ponting off 53 balls.
Australia are definitely starting to get a move on with 40 runs scored off the last five overs.
27th over: Elton Chigumbura will bowl the first seam up stuff the match has seen since the 13th over. Chigumbura slips a delivery onto Watson’s pads and the batsman clips it to the square leg fence for four.
25th over: Brendan Taylor will give his part-time off-spin a twirl. Watson has his fifty off 69 balls as he slaps the fifth four of his innings through the covers for four.
23rd over: Utseya is finally hit for a boundary as he serves up a short ball that Watson slaps down the ground for four.
19th over: WICKET - Utseya strikes Haddin on the pads and the batsman goes back to defend a delivery that turns in to him. Zimbabwe appeal for a leg-before decision but umpire Asoka de Silva says not out. Zimbabwe ask for a review and replays show the ball is hitting middle stump!
De Silva’s decision is rightly overturned and Haddin is out leg-before for a rather pedestrian 29 off 66 balls. Australia are 61 for one.
17th over: Well, well, Prosper Utseya sends down his second maiden of the match. Utseya currently has figures of 4-2-5-0!
15th over: The 50-run partnership for the first wicket is up off 85 balls as Watson eases an Utseya delivery down to long-on.
14th over: Mpofu is back for a second spell but his first delivery slips down leg and Watson clips the ball past short fine leg for four.
Watson is in the mood now as he pummels a short ball over midwicket for consecutive fours.
Haddin joins in the fun by murdering a delivery over mid-on for four.
Haddin then unleashes a wonderful shot as he backs away before lofting a full delivery over mid-off for four. Seventeen runs scored off the over.
13th over: Haddin has a spot of luck as he defends an Utseya delivery back onto his leg and the ball runs along the ground to bump into the stumps but not hard enough to dislodge the bails!
11th over: Off-spinner Prosper Utseya is one for a bowl and starts with a maiden. Super stuff from Zimbabwe.
10th over: Ray Price allows just one run off his over. Haddin and Watson have hardly played a shot in anger which is credit to an incredibly disciplined bowling performance from Zimbabwe.
8th over: Very good shot from Haddin as he eases a Price delivery past extra cover for four.
5th over: Mpofu is finding just a touch of away swing which is keeping the Australian batsmen honest for the time being. Mpofu allows just one run off the over.
3rd over: Watson has the first boundary as he clips a leg-side delivery from Mpofu down to fine leg for four.
2nd over: Left-arm spinner Ray Price will share new ball duties. Can he contain the Australian batsmen during the powerplay? Good start from Price with just two single and a wide conceded.
1st over: Seamer Chris Mpofu will open the bowling with Shane Watson on strike. Watson is off the mark with a single behind point.
Australia won the toss and elected to bat first.

 
Looking great for Zimbabwe, Oz are 4 down with a matter of overs to go :)
 
****** Englands Bowling is so ****.... To conceded 292 against Holland is a joke.. Good job we can bat, Come on Straussy.
 
hahha, Holland scored 292 against England? thats ******* hilarious... and sorry Scott, no you cant :) ahhaah :)
oh joke time...

where do the English cricketers stay when they tour South Africa.....?







with their parents....

bazinga :)
 
Well done England, underperformed in the field but chased the total down for 4 wickets...

Colly looking sharp and confident again, massive positive.

Bopara looking to step into Morgan's shoes well with top class boundaries

And Straussy doing the job at the top.

Should have been a **** of a lot easier, but we are England after all.

One thing is for sure, cant afford the sloppyness against India.
 
Well done Netherlands. It was superb performance.

Well done England for getting much needed points. Bowling needs massive improvement.
 
Paki's gonna destroy Kenya as expected, think the Kenyan batsmen think they are playing a test match they way they are going
 
Okay Bresnan and Anderson, learn the lines to bowl, you did it so brilliantly in OZ, do it here.

Fielding was a joke, Catches win Matches.....

Okay. Batting was good, with everyone making some sort of contribuation. KP is getting used to opening and not doing to bad at it... Colly looks to have found form, and we where on for over 300, which by anyone standards is a good score.

Racist *****

How the **** is tht racist.. It is racist you see it as Racism. It is no different to shortening England down to Eng or Australia down OZ....... He is not using it as an offensive term, so it is not racism.
 
Racist *****


jesus, if i wanted to be racist i would have done it properly

The problem is that it is totally different conditions in the sub-continent and the likes of Jimmy Anderson and Bresnan will not be useful, Swann will have to take much of the bowling load but still there is no excuse for conceding 292 runs to a non-test playing nation, fielding was pathetic

They will be useful bowlers, there just not going to star as they would in other conditions. No matter what role they play in the side line and length was abysmal throughout, bowling half way up the pitch for the vast majority of deliveries was amateur stuff.
 
Even i was wondering how it was Racist. Just shorten form..

And you should do some research before labeling someone racist.


A term which most foreign-born pakistanis find very racist. But people who were actually born in Pakistan understand fully what this actually means, and do not take any offence from it at all, for it is in fact a compliment. The word 'Paki' actually means 'Pure'. This comes from the meaning of Pakistan, which is 'Pureland'. The 'Stan' means land.

tbh, i never knew all that myself, i just used to say paki cos everyone referred to the team as so but good to know anyways :)

If the guy on BBC live text put "Aussies batting well" no one would say anything, but if he said "Paki's batting well" he would be fired. The term is racist.

see above ^^)

Andy Gray didnt mean to be offensive to Charlotte Jackson, but it was still classed as sexism, So your point is irrelevant

He shorted the ****** name, that was all, he never used it offensively or to attack someone, your just trying to make an issue out of nothing..... He is using it in the same way, We use Oz, He isnt saying " ******* Paki over there, or stupid paki" He is just saying it as a shortened word for Pakistan.
 
Paki = Pure. No way it is offensive. If Alcarez had used "Terrorist *****" something like that then it is racism. Paki is not.
 
Racist *****

Isnt it only a racist term when refering to non-pakistannis?
In the same way that calling a welsh man english could offend the welsh, as they clearly are not english.

There is no job up for grabs, he is not making the site look bad as there is no offense being caused to those that could be offended, so what's the problem?

Why make an issue out of absolutely nothing? Bored today or something...

If someone was offended i would understand, but no one has been or will be, so leave it be.
