Go Australia, we are the only unbeaten team left in it, since the Black Caps got beaten by Sri Lanka, my money is on a New Zealand, Australia Grand final now that South Africa have hit a bit of a form slump.

Says it all - one of them
Meaning what exactly?
Once upon a time in the Kingdom of Heaven, God went missing for Six days. Eventually, Michael the Archangel found him, resting on the seventh day. He inquired of God, "Where have you been?"
God sighed a deep sigh of satisfaction and proudly pointed downwards through the clouds, "Look Michael, look what I've made." Archangel Michael looked puzzled and said, "What is it?"
"It's a planet, replied God, "and I've put LIFE on it. I'm going to call it Earth and it's going to be a great place of balance".
"Balance?" inquired Michael, still confused.
God explained, pointing to different parts of Earth.
"For example, Northern Europe will be a place of great opportunity and wealth while Southern Europe is going to be poor; the Middle East over there will be a hot spot."
"Over there I've placed a continent of white people and over there is a continent of black people" God continued, pointing to different countries. "And over there, I call this place America.
North America will be rich and powerful and cold, while South America will be poor, and hot and friendly. And the little spot in the middle is Central America which is a Hot spot. Can you see the balance?"
"Yes" said the Archangel, impressed by Gods work, then he pointed to a smallish land mass and asked, "What's that one?"
"Ah" said God. "That's New Zealand, the most glorious place on Earth. There are beautiful mountains, rainforests, rivers, streams and an exquisite coast line. The people are good looking, intelligent and humorous and they're going to be found traveling the world. They'll be extremely sociable, hard-working and high-achieving, and they will be known throughout the world as diplomats and carriers of peace. I'm also going to give them super- human, undefeatable, strong in character citizens who will be admired and feared by all who come across them".
Michael gasped in wonder and admiration but then exclaimed, "You said there will be BALANCE!"
God replied wisely. "Wait until you see the buggers I'm putting next to them"

Anyways, seeing as this thread (like a number of others) has
graciously been hijacked by our resident abusive Spammers. . . I
thought I'd bring it back on track. .. .
Has Ireland's performance at the World Cup justified their
inclusion in the regualr 1-day playing group of nations? Or
should they remain on the A-list of second tier countries?
If bangladesh can be regular [participants now, why not
Ireland also?

Ireland aren't up to scratch yet. Remember Kenya made the Semi's in
2003 and they're still not up to scratch. Give it some time yet.
Three for me, and two for them.

Yes, the thought had crossed my mind. These knock-out
tournaments can throw up the occassinoal outlier result.

Well I'm pretty keen to see the Black Caps do well, and we've been
doin OK except for the little hick-up with Sri Lanka.

I think losses like that one against Sri Lanka are good every now
and then.
The black caps lost to Bangladesh in one of the warm up games
and we've been going strong ever since.Until now of course.
I reckon we'll meet Aus in the final. Aus and NZ are the two
best teams in the world and all bets are off when they play each
other.

I agree with Buffon - Ireland are not up to it yet. Sure they have done well, l but I think they'll have to do it over a more sustained period to justify inclusion.

If an Oz/Black Caps final was to happen, I fear that Oz have too much - but a NZ win would be very, very nice!

And they'll be looking for a bit of revenge after we destroyed them
in NZ. But you never know. If we get our act together we can beat

Kiwill, Sorry mate, I would put some of your posts in the
abusive category, as opposed to the spamming category. :)

The Cricket World Cup, the Rugby World Cup and the Netball World
Cup all suffer from the same problem - there are a limited
number of top teams and a lot of developing/not up to it
others.
In all three games the answer has to be an A pool and a B pool competition with the B pool winners joining in the final stages.
Cricket A pool is Oz, Kiwis, Poms, South Africa, India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan and West Indies.
All others are B regardless of the odd result.
Rugby A pool is Oz, Kiwis, Poms, South Africa, plus Six Nations. All others are B.
Netball A pool is Oz, Kiwis err thats it! All others B.

If you are going to include Italy, perhaps you could include
Argentina too. They would be around the same level I would say (but
really, being predominantly a football fan, I have no idea.)

That's rich coming from the most abusive person on the site.
Have you ever posted anything that actually commented on football
other than to abuse other people who do?? All because you don't
like Manchester (who aren't even the team I support).

Grand Final - New Zealand vs. Australia

i hope its aus vs nz, that be grand but who knows if we against sri
lanka in the semis it mite be hard considering theyre the ones that
give us the most trouble (ruddy slinger)

I lost all interest once the Ukraine was eliminated by the Cayman
Island in the qualifying tournament.

Yeah that'd be about right.

We must have if we lost by that much.
Pretty disappointing to go down like that. Better not happen
in the semi's or dare I say, the final?

grrrrrr damn aussies they won't win, we may have got tonked by 215
runs but i think it's bracewells masterplan, i think he thinks that
if we lose to them once we have a better chance of beating them in
the final (when we beat sri lanka)

Good luck getting to the final first. Prepare to be
decapitated by the likes of Jayasuriya, Jayawardene,

In cricket they do have a pool B type thing, it is the World
Cricket league, all the lower ranked teams play that in the hope to
qualify for the next world cup. :)
