to get commentary on our Warm up matches, Pakistani have to stop using condoms for the next 100 years and then we will have a customer base of 1.5 billion people and then cricinfo will not only show commnetoary it will have exculisive clips for us too

Well.I guess there are more Indians lurking at this free website(aka Cricinfo) than there are aussies,Pakistanis etc. ;)

Will be interested to see if the pitches around the caribbean venues will vary as the group stages begin next week. If the majority of the surfaces are slow (similar to that of the sub-continent) then i guess teams like India & Sri Lanka should be among the favourites.

But if there is a variation of the pitches (which i hope it is) it would make for some interesting cricket, giving most of the top 8 sides a real chance of winning.

SL 6/223 after 43 overs .Tharanga dismissed after Century . (Sanath not playing). Scott Styris 2 wickets. Peter Fulton injured dislocating finger taking catch to dismiss Tharanga.

Looks a close one. Black caps seem to have the advantage .

Pathan didnt break the 125mph barrier in this match...he was bowling mostly at 105-115 range....and still got 3 wickets...hmmm...

His speed isn't an issue as long as he's accurate, in ODI cricket anyway.

But when he's bowling pies, and they also happen to be slow, then he's awful.

Thanks Jason. Not good news re Fulton. Encouraging bowling figures for Styris and a good result to beat one of the favourites imo

Favourites ..... that's a load of bull..
Definitely not after this result...

Favouritism tag is usually a kiss of death.... and IMO no single team of the top 8 is a favourite bar Australia ....

Anymore news on Fulton? That could solve the selection issue...

Encouraging win for us, given we actually managed to defend a total.
