Group C - New Zealand, England, Kenya, Canada

I am going with an England win here

Is that you Beefy?

 

[Fiery]

I simply can't believe Larsen could be as brilliant a bowler as he was if he was just 65mph or so.

IMO dibbly-dobbly is invented for bowlers like Neil Fairbrother and Mark Greatbatch.

Believe it, it's true.

Mark Greatbatch?? He never ever bowled. IIRC, the first time I heard the term "dibbly-dobblers" would have been the '92 World Cup. The dibbly-dobblers were Larsen king-of-dibbly-dobblers, Latham and Harris

In other news, Gibbs getting 6 6's in an over!!!!!!!

Carn England, 2 wickets in the first 5 overs will put some doubts into the following 8 batsmen in the order....

And 1 million dollars donated to charity, Gibbs = legend.

God damn it! Our feed to the game just crash. I ****ing hate sky sport! The same thing happened with the Super 12 final a couple of years back.

Wow, that's a pretty cool record to have. This lad has just made himself famous

 

[Jono]

England paying 3.40. Get on anyone who isn't a Kiwi, even if they don't do it, that's a bit too generous.

Believe it, it's true.

How'd you know? How often did Larsen bowl in front of a speedgun?

Mark Greatbatch?? He never ever bowled. IIRC, the first time I heard the term "dibbly-dobblers" would have been the '92 World Cup. The dibbly-dobblers were Larsen king-of-dibbly-dobblers, Latham and Harris

Exactly, Greatbatch never bowled. Nor did Fairbrother.

Dibbly-dobbly for me is a term that describes a net-bowler. Not a proper class-act like Larsen (or Harris).

There is a power outage in St Lucia mate!

Ive got the Sky UK feed and its the same thing. They are showing the RSA match, but they cant get thru to St Lucia ATM

Sky over here are assuring us it's a problem with a powercut in West Indies.

EDIT: KiWiNiNjA beats me to it.

 

[Bahnz]

<sigh> Figures.

Well, Anderson has already got Vincent on the resume-post-powercut.

 

[PY]

Goooonnnnnnneeeeeeee!!!

Vincent gone, great start.

 

[Bahnz]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand we're back. Vincent out, and Plunkett's first ball is a wide. Nice to know nothing unexpected hasn't happened.

 

[Richard]

Plunkett wide... surprise surprise.

 

[Richard]

What an unbelievable catch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[PY]

Taylor now, sounds like a snorter.

 

[Majin]

Brilliant catch.

 

[Bahnz]

And Taylor's out. I'm suddenly having a viscious flash back to a certain world cup match four years ago, against Australia.
