I ould love to see the Windies sort it out and get something together. They need to win something to get the game back on track and get somewhere back to being a power as the world game needs them.
At test level, the next decade could be fascinating, if the Aussies dwindle a bit at the Windies come back alive, then India, England, SA, Pakistan, Aus and them could all be seen as there and there abouts.
Don't really care for one dayers all that much but good to see the Aussies lose!

Good start by England this morning, but there was a guy on the radio suggesting that neither side wanted to win because it would give them more time to prepare for the Ashes.
was he a pundit or a member of the public? ridiculous, there's so much to be gained by winning this game as a precursor to the ashes that deliberately losing doesn't make sense. jsut look at the twenty20 before the ashes series that was another, oh it doesn't matter game.Kenny Vermouth said:

I didn't catch the beginning but he was some kind of betting bloke with the surname McGovern and a scouse accent.mrkikiet said:
ETA: Actually, I think it was Jimmy McGovern - don't know why he was talking about cricket on the radio.

Pakistan are 21-5 chasing South Africa's 200.

The windies problem is a depressing one. WI cricket doesn't attract up and coming talent, as they are duly lured into more lucrative sports, and the current team is playing above their recent form. Sri Lanka have had good results coming into this tournament, but are out. Pakistan has a good team, although the lose of asif and ahktar has hit them.
Test wise Australia, pakistan, Sri Lanka and England should rule the roost for the foreseeable future.
India is not in the above list, for the same reason WI aren't, they're too inconsistent.

It's closing in for a good finish in dead rubber Windies v England game. Good to see Pietersen scoring runs finally.
I reckon India v Australia will be a good game as well.

For a dead match, it was a great one dayer. Well played Kevin Pietersen, Sajid Mahmood, Chris Gayle and Dwayne Bravo.

Paul Allott said yesterday that he reckoned Harmison has played his last one dayer.
Jeff Dujon, my favourite wickie ever, agreed saying that he thought Harmison had been bowling "rubbish".
I like Dujon's commentating style and it makes a change a commentator using the right words to describe the play.
I'm fed up with hearing commentators use words like "ordinary" and "average" when they mean shit.
I've heard Botham say "that was an ordinary piece of fielding" to describe a misfield. No, it's not, it's poor fielding. An ordinary piece of fielding would be someone gathering from a single clipped to fine leg and chucking it in.
This summer Saj Mahmood let one go through his legs and Hussain said "that was very average from Mahmood". I didn't know you could get extremes of averageness. For fucks sake, what's wrong with saying poor or bad?
