We do. It was once believed we were on the brink of being in the cup (the 2007 cup) and played in several one day internationals (ODIs), unfortunately our domestic cricket is run by incompetents who can't ever agree on anything, and we end up being disqualified/banned from international cricket for brief periods of time. We have a team, but it's still a ways off from being in the world cup, especially if they cut out the minnows (small teams) that they say they're going to do.

I do hope they don't cut out the minnows, they can be quite refreshing to watch. I see Ricky Ponting is advocating removing them, but then we all knew he was an asshole.
Over here, aside from one article, in the Herald Sun of all places (owned by Murdoch), everyone is talking as if Australia's win was some great achievement.

Cricket is an easy game to understand, compared to say - football (US) or rugby union.

And this is why we don't cut out the minnows. 292 runs for Netherlands? England is behind by 96 with less than 15 overs! Huge upset in the making.

England needs 29 runs in less than 4 overs...

@DJEcc24 - absolutely you're right

Wow! Ravi Bopara saves England!

What a finish. I have to admit I'm glad England won in the end. But good on Netherlands for giving England all they could handle.

Pakistan is in trouble. Just 18 runs in 8 overs and their two opening batsmen are out. Then again I thought England would surely go down in defeat yesterday after Netherlands thunderous batting and that didn't happen.

Ha, I say that and then all of a sudden Pakistan has 40 runs through 10....

Lol, I remember Pakistan lost to Ireland last time.

And then their coach died or something, it was a mess. Ireland is good though, they've been owning Bangladesh lately, hope they do something for the Associate Members.

Ok guys it's clear the the Irish aren't really minnows in this tournament. First, the embarrassingly near call that they gave England earlier this week and now the fact that they're toppling hosts Bangladesh in this game. Either it's just the subcontinent pitches working in their favor (and theirs alone) or they're just a damn good side this time around. I want to see these guys in the next round.

Also, India vs. England on Sunday - super emotional match and lots at stake. A must-win for both teams considering how Australia's raking in the points in the other group.

Ireland has been the best of the minnows, looks like they're not going to pull it out vs Bangladesh though :(

Australia decided they still want their 4th straight trophy. A weak Australian side is still better, it seems, than most normal sides. Their dismantling of the Kiwis was textbook. What happens though when they play Pakistan and Sri Lanka?

Shows you how poor Bangladesh's cricket has been that they're this jubilant about barely defeating an Associate Member at home. Poor Ireland, it's going to be really difficult to get out of the group stage now.

Better still - what happens when Australia plays India? Or South Africa?

I'll bet money on that.

Hopefully that won't need to happen!

India and S. Africa need to play a strong side before I jump on the bandwagon. S. Africa's win over Windies was ok but not stellar, and India gave up a lot of runs to a Bangladeshi team that could barely get 200 on Ireland. So we'll see.

I thought Zimbabwe was banned from international cricket? Or is that just Test?

WHAT THE HECK?

I wish I didn't live so many time zones away... Would love to see it live someday but I'm in the States.

Zimbabwe is coming back to test cricket this year. They were not banned, they took a voluntary suspension.

You see pretty much the second half of the games, since they typically begin at 4 am and usually end around 11.

I am really looking forward to Sunday's game (s). Manchester City and India.....bring em on!

I am looking forward to this Pakistan-Sri Lanka match up. Maybe Pakistan is really back. If so, they are capable of taking the whole thing. The favorites better watch out.

I usually watch the tail end of the games as I head into classes in the morning.

First upset of the tournament. Pakistan is for real.

gooooo Pakistan! aLL thE waY BABY
