I don't like cricket, I love it! Who's gonna win the World Cup? England are the favourites and rightly so. I think they will win it but my dark horses are the West Indies. Wouldn't you just hate it if those f00king Aussies won it again! Any thoughts?

I think the final 4 will be England India Australia and New Zealand.
I’m not confident about NZ as you have WI and SA too but I like the bowlers they have for English conditions Southee Boult Ferguson.
If the purists got there way it would be an England v India final I make us slight favourites but what I worry about is wearing pitches later on and we always have one shocker in us let’s hope if it does happen it’s in the group stages.
The bonus of those test match tickets made the 2 quid (no pound sign on this keyboard) very good value. But those test matches all merge into one. I have memories of a very fat Australian collapsed amongst a mountain of used beer cans asking what the Nottingham fillies were like, and also of a West Indian singing grovel Greig to a Calypso beat, also played on beer cans. Can't have been the same game, can it? Whichever game it was, it was so hot I had to hold my head in a preserving pan of cold water later on.
Haha I'm the opposite. You'd have to pay me to watch it. It just never clicked with me at all.
I've only ever been to one live game of cricket - England vs India at Trent Bridge, about 15 years ago or more. I sat there all day not really getting what people were excited about, and then sometime late in the afternoon every stopped doing whatever they were doing on the pitch (or whatever it's called), had a chat, and decided the game would be a draw.
What the **** is that all about?
