Its Summer! - the Fever Cricket Thread.

What is the curtain raiser at 11am?

Is it being televised?

Sorry to be annoying but what time is the game?

4pm

Think it's some oldies game, but not sure/not interested. Yes televised on channel 36 (TAB TV)

Is this game being televised?

Never a dull moment with England is there.

Saw a fever shirt in the crowd

anyone see a gcu shirt? I was on the big screen a few times, was very awkward when Siggy came to get money....

Did they call you judas?

that fill the basin match looked awesome. alot of fun, wish i could have been there.its amazing how good some of those guys still look. pretty sure astle and flem could still play international level. and how solid did chatfield look 

oh and geoff allot

as for the black caps, nice total set, well done bmac. taylor sure is good to watch at the mo and how good was franklins cameo at the end

think they might be a bit dissapointed with the bowling effort, letting canada get 250+. oh well, a wins a win

Fill the Basin was a superb event. Take a bow Stephen Flemming - over $500,000 raised. All involved, Cricket Wellington staff, sponsors etc put in a huge effort to make sure it ran smoothly and that it did.

Warney isn't such a bad bugger after all. I always use to despise him, naturally. But he had plenty of time for fans and basically anyone who wanted to talk to him. Didn't mind taking the piss out of himself too.

Ben Hurley: "You could have just text him!"
Warney: "Nah, his missus ain't that hot..."

Comedy gold.

come on, you Ireland!

ha I'm loving this, Canada taking it to Australia. Currently 47-1 after 4.1 overs. Magnificent. Lovely if Canada won.

Yeah, go the Canucks! 63 off 6.4 now. This Patel guy is outstanding

Ricky Ponting

West Indies choked.

4 run outs in 4 deliveries to end the Dutch innings vs Ireland.

Pretty sure that has never happened before at any level of international cricket.

That is an outstanding effort.

Southee you legend! What a run out!

WICKET! Sri Lanka 19-2.

Get in lads. Great start.

I really hope they arn't just building up our confidence in them just to let us down again later in the the tournament.

Wouldn't hold your breath.

Jayawardena clearly out. Bet he goes on to make a ton. Don't know what the third umpire saw that no-one else could see.

Typical Blackcaps batting once again.

So India or SA in the Quarters most likely.

Pretty much means that's that for us in this WC.

Pretty much.

As far as I'm concerned, it's mission accomplished - made the quarters, beat up on all the minnows, and even won a game against a test nation. I was dreading much worse.

From now on, everything's a bonus. el grapadura2011-03-19 19:32:21

Would love to see the reaction in India if we end up knocking them out.

Would absolutely love it - but realistically, if we do play them, if we bat first, we get 220, they get it with 15 overs to spare and 2 or 3 down. If they bat first, they get 360, and we crumble to barely get 200.

I'd personally not like to be the country that Knocks out India. 1 Billion angry Indians probably not a good thing. Hopefully we'll get South Africa. Knocking them out would be awesome!

Bully for them. Would love to knock them off the self anointed perch.

Not as self anoited as the Aussies.

Funny Akmal seems to be able to catch today!

Aussie have won 4 WC's though, the last 3 in a row. And were the best team in both forms for a good 10 years.

What of India?

They can be proud of tendulkar and the fact they've ruined cricket by making T20 popular.

That's about it.

Confirmed: NZ vs South Africa in the Quarter Finals.

Unconfirmed: Date or Venue. Most likely Mirpur on March 25.

Most likely semi-final upset?

England to beat Sri Lanka?

Australia to be India?

I don't see us or the Windies getting up.
