With that kind of display they may even be having and Ertha Kitt in their shreddies at the prospect of playing the formidable 'Jock's' on Sunday or the thought of seeing Collingwood singing Flower O' Scotland may inspire them.

Monday Feb 23 Group A: England v Scotland in Christchurch - worthy of a bet at the Bookies at home for the Scots

England are now at the bottom of Pool A below Scotland and Afghanistan:

What's the solution? A team talk from the Duke of York?

On second thoughts maybe a big serve face to face from the dour Yorkshireman Geoff Boycott might be better?

Sorry, but did NZ declare their first innings or is there some sort of weather delay?

India and South Africa at The G and it looks like there is 85,000 to 90,000 there at the worlds premier sporting venue in the worlds premier sporting city. Indian's putting on a show 2 - 204 off 37 overs. Would be nice to see them get between 320 and 340 so the best batsmen of all time AB DeVilliers has a bit of a challenge. Good game.

Was the Big Draw - pleasant Sunday morning over at my cricket club this morning Jack, 10:00am kick off. By the time the cricket started at 2:30 I was full of it........Had me afternoon nap and have settled a bit now.

No worries Wazza. We play the Kiwis next weekend - sounds like a plan.

86,876 - When was the last time that many people turned up for a game of EPL soccer Statts? Is their a stadium in England that can hold that many?

Wembley will hold 90K Lew. It will be full on FA Cup final day & pretty full for the 2 semis that are played there - but that does depend on who is playing...

Good win by India. Outplayed SA in every department. I cannot remember the last time an Indian side fielded as well as that. Having a couple of decent spinners who can strangle the run rate mid innings helps too.
I don't know if the 2 games they have played so far have just been them at their absolute best when their opponents have been poor, but they have looked in with a shout of actually retaining it so far..

You get me every time Bob

Forgot about Wembley, Was just thinking about those little suburban parks where they play EPL soccer.
The Indians were very impressive. But the Africans very poor - must be something at stake :-"
