@McLovin (Comment 15) : Did you see Ponting’s comment that the minnows don’t deserve to be at the World Cup? They are batting slower than the Canadians did yesterday!! Comment 16, posted at 21.02.11 11:45:30 by Richard Ferguson

Consecutive fours from Watson ups the scoring rate a bit.. Comment 17, posted at 21.02.11 11:49:25 by Richard Ferguson

@Richard Ferguson (Comment 16) : They are. 😈 Though I do agree with Ponting. And by the sounds of it the minnows might not be at future world cups. Comment 18, posted at 21.02.11 11:49:59 by McLovin

@McLovin (Comment 18) : I agree to a certain degree, but to tell them off before they play is like a death wish.. Comment 19, posted at 21.02.11 11:52:09 by Richard Ferguson

Four boundaries in the 14th over is more like it. Aus 49/0 after 14 overs Comment 20, posted at 21.02.11 11:52:40 by Richard Ferguson

Aus lose their first wicket.. Haddin goes for 29 Aus 61/1 after 18.5 overs Comment 21, posted at 21.02.11 12:09:25 by Richard Ferguson

maybe they should chose the first 6 teams on the odi rankings and make the others(minos) play out for 2 last spots. that way we get better quality games from the start. Comment 22, posted at 21.02.11 12:11:58 by franshark

2015 will only have 10 teams instead of 14. Comment 23, posted at 21.02.11 12:20:31 by McLovin

Australia playing a test match??? 🙂 Comment 24, posted at 21.02.11 12:21:01 by Ben

@Ben (Comment 24) : Not sure what they are trying to achieve, other than messing up my SB. 😈 Comment 25, posted at 21.02.11 12:23:38 by McLovin

@McLovin (Comment 23) : That will make for more games that are actually worth watching.. Good move.. Comment 26, posted at 21.02.11 12:26:00 by Richard Ferguson

@McLovin (Comment 25) : You are doing quite well in the SB.. well done.. Today I cannot see my margin coming through, unless Aus bowl really REALLY well.. Comment 27, posted at 21.02.11 12:26:46 by Richard Ferguson

@Richard Ferguson (Comment 27) : More luck than anything else. Picked Aus by 193 runs for this one. 😳 Comment 28, posted at 21.02.11 12:28:22 by McLovin
