What network can you watch the ICC world cup on?

Bangladesh beat them in '07 didn't they? Not too far fetched although I wouldn't bet on it. India has been slaughtering everybody in ODIs.

I don't think Australia will make it out of the quarterfinals this time.

Sadly minnows don't have a prayer this go around. The format is stacked against them.

@Graeme01 - I stream directly onto my computer.

From group B - India, South Africa, England, Windies

Sri Lanka over Windies, England over Australia, South Africa over NZ, and India over
Zimbabwe

Sri Lanka over South Africa
India over England

Final - Sri Lanka over India

Oh Putin you just stoked the fire with that prediction

32 runs in the first 3 overs...Sehwag is killing Bangladesh already.

Unfortunately, (and I hate to say it) Australia has fallen from former glory. And we all blame Ricky Ponting. :)

Well, if all your top players retire all at once, that's bound bound to happen. Ponting and Michael Hussey are injured, and Brett Lee is good, but I'm sure we'll figure out how to get him injured fast enough. Bollinger is a strong player and has a lot of experience on the subcontinent pitches after 3 years of T-20 matches in the IPL. Everyone else, however, is a bunch of newbs as far as I'm concerned. Good luck to your frail squad, Aussies! :P

Hoho...half the innings left and Sehwag's already on his way to a century.

Ok this is getting ridiculous. Three overs left, and he's on the way to 200 runs.

Dammit I spoke too soon. Out for 175.

Well, Australia did just destroy England in the Commonwealth Bank series. But I don't know what that means due to the injuries, especially to England's bowlers.
That said they won't make the semis. I'd love it if they don't advance out of the group stage.

And here I thought Bangladesh was supposed to have good bowlers. Maybe this'll be like 2003 for them.

Kenya all out with a measly 69. Terrible. Looks like they haven't recovered from the West Indies cup.

Quickest game ever?

Ugh, we (as in India) have no bowlers.

Doesn't matter, your batting will crush most opponents.

Putin, looks like we'll spend this entire month talking India vs. Sri Lanka. To be fair, the islanders did a solid job with the Canadian team today, and Jayawardane's 176 is a run better than Sehwag's 175 of yesterday. But I'll just say that the minnows matches are easy wins, and that the real test is coming up next week.

Well yes and Sri Lanka was also playing the outgunned Canadians at home in the opener, so I'm sure the crowd played a factor. Although I would give Canada some credit, they did almost defeat England in the warm ups. They have some decent bowlers. I'm really hoping some minnow does well so the ICC doesn't close the door forever on minnows in this tournament. I guess Ireland is the best chance. They beat Zimbabwe in warm ups by a solid margin, so here's hoping they can take out Bangladesh.

I'm watching Australia vs. Zimbabwe live (http://www.cricvid.com/).

Early days, but how on earth are the reigning champions being held back at only 14 after 7 overs?

lol, Australia is doing pretty shit. I expected much better from them after thrashing England.

GO CANADA!
If not Canada then Australia.

I haven't watched cricket in 2 years, so I don't know whats going on.

Zimbabwe did a nice job bowling, although it could have been lower considering how bad Australia was early on (I went to sleep when it was overs and Australia only had 15). Too bad Zimbabwe is not doing anything batting-wise....

I went to sleep and woke up 6 hours later, the match is going on and Zimbabwe is now losing? WHA? Come on...

"Early days, but how on earth are the reigning champions being held back at only 14 after 7 overs?"
It was that bad at one point? When I started watching they were at 140 after 30 overs.

Yeah I really thought Zimbabwe had a chance in this one, but Coventry, Taylor, Taibu, etc, all out within the first 13 overs? Bad. The back end of their line up. They were on pace to not even break 100.

*The back end of their line up prevented a truly embarrassing loss, I should say.

Go United States! do we even have a cricket team? i bet its terrible. whats cricket...
