Opening ceremony

[_Ed_]

This is much more like it. There's meaning and significance here.

And it's also visually impressive - much more so than one person in the middle of an empty arena.

 

[gvenkat]

Most of these times these are just a waste of time.. Not interested in this crap..

 

[masterblaster]

Liking the floats and the artwork here. Why couldn't they have had more of this?

 

[_Ed_]

Right, see, this part would be good if someone wasn't playing slap bass. Giant peacocks + something closely resembling the Seinfeld theme = laughter.

At least it's gone back to more traditional music now.

 

[_Ed_]

Wow, that was a really impressive ending to that actually.

 

[_Ed_]

It's Bryan!

 

[masterblaster]

It's still better than watching Lady Ga Ga come out of an egg.

 

[_Ed_]

That's a good point.

 

[masterblaster]

Me and my baby in a 69 is the line that always cracks me up. Childish yes, but that's what it sounds like.

[masterblaster]

He's not really trying is Bryan. Lost a fair bit of his voice it seems.

 

[silentstriker]

Uh oh, here comes the crapster official song.

 

[_Ed_]

I should go to bed, but I'm just so curious about how (and possibly if) it's going to end. Surely there can't be long left now. Surely.

 

[silentstriker]

They did not just have a random ensemble in the background swinging bats.....

 

[Cevno]

Better than the CWG 8 crore crap official song though.

 

[_Ed_]

They did not just have a random ensemble in the background swinging bats.....

I think we should force ourselves to believe that.

 

[_Ed_]

Ponting looks spectacularly bored.

 

[_Ed_]

This has to be the longest official song ever.

 

[vcs]

Seriously, how did Sharad Pawar become the President of the ICC? The guy can't even string two sentences together.

He's still going. Just leave already!

Damien Martyn to the rescue.

Not enough one laugh for this?

 

[blahblahblah]

i did not get the joke
