To the Kiwis out there - Congrats on the Cricket!
From an Australian - congratulations to our brothers across the ditch for beating India and getting through to the Cricket World Cup final tonight! Your team played amazing - and can only hope the Aussies do the same so we can see you there :)

It'll take a ute full of power sanders to give your boys a hope in hell, mate . We've lulled you into a false sense of security by getting hammered at Lord's, and now we have you right where we want you.
Well done to the kiwis .

Re: To the Kiwis out there - Congrats on the Cricket!
The Kiwis got off to a slow start, with a run rate of about 1/6, to end up posting a score that was pretty average, then bowled out India's 3 best batsmen for 1 run apiece, all while keeping the run rate down to about... 1/6, then went on to win what should have been a relatively easy game for India. Congrats! (Also, thanks to Octavious for the kind offer to supply sanders, but we already have a large enough stock of our own).

Australia win the toss and are off to an awful start. Bit of a recovery going on now, but they are looking vulnerable...

224 looks very doable... Not over by a long way, but England have to be feeling confident.

Yep - full credit to England - you will be deserved victors here. Very disappointing for the Aussies to crumble like this (particularly in a World Cup which usually brings the best out of us) - but the English were a class above today.

@197 for 2 after 28 overs England are looking like winners in their semi-final against Australia.

England win. Australia finish up in 3rd or 4th place which is probably appropriate for the team they have at the moment.

Should be a good final. Neither team has a particular advantage in terms of conditions. The forecast for Lords is a cool 21 degrees and overcast, so typical summer weather for both nations. England have to be favourites after beating them in the group, but the Kiwis have teeth.

Kiwis have the largest yolk to white ratio of any birds egg, and the largest egg to body size ratio of any bird. Unfortunately as they are almost extinct, it is highly illegal to use one to make omelette.

Aye, but do they have teeth? Not a full set of gnashers, perhaps, but an egg tooth perhaps?
Surely you can farm kiwis fairly easily? Yeah, I imagine the eggs would be expensive, but if they're particularly delicious it could be a new Christmas breakfast tradition

Australia might be out of one World Cup being played in England but there is the World Cup of Netball being conducted in Liverpool & Australia's Diamonds have just dished Northern Ireland. Apparently the game to watch tomorrow is Sth Africa v Trinidad and Tobago as there could be a bit of niggle between these fierce rivals.

On second thoughts, we can always do with a few more. I may have been looking at the stocktake form last July instead. Whoops.
