First two games of the World Cup

[Greenlite]

Yah AUS hasn't changed since I was a kid, that Taylor decision reminded me of BMac chopping the ball onto his pads and was given LBW 10 years ago, and along with a bunch of other shockers...in AUS.

The LBW shout looked way off even from a non professional like me on first impression.

What does umpiring shockers have to do with australia changing?

 

[Days of Grace]

Yeah. Thrilled with NZ's performance, but the games were disappointing as contests. Hope it gets better from here, with some competitive games with sub-300 scores, and I hope that farce at the MCG just now is as bad as it gets umpiring-wise.

I'd be super happy if New Zealand dominated all its games, rendering them all dull as contests, and went on to win the whole thing.

 

[BeeGee]

Yep this was predictably one sided. We spent months seeing these teams play and we cop the same result.


Wahhhh

Well, you'll be glad to know that India v Pakistan is on today, two teams that haven't played each other in ages. Looking forward to a good contest.

GO PAKISTAN!!!
