Cricket World Cup 2011

I went to high school on St. Croix, US Virgin Islands. Cricket wasn't huge amongst the Crucians (natives of St. Croix) but it did have a following and there were a lot of transplants from other West Indian islands that loved the sport. Always got a kick out how they would listen to matches on the radio the same way we listen to baseball games. I remember the 1992 CWC being broadcast locally and trying to watch every match I could. It was won by Pakistan, and I'll never forget someone holding up a banner afterward that said "World Cup V, the wrath of Khan," in reference to Pakistan captain Imran Khan. Anyway, I said all that to say this, any info on how the West Indies is doing?

And Fat Strat, I agree that Indian food is delicious.

I just feel like a year of training for any MLB team and they could destroy the best cricket teams in the world.

England and India play to a tie

This was an absolutely incredible game. I nearly got heart attack watching this. We had enough score to win this one but England played extremely well. It was a see-saw battle and finally ended up in a tie which is rare in one day cricket. No one deserved to lose this game and fittingly it ended up in a tie. What a game!!

CARdsfan: West Indies in the late 80's was almost unbeatable. But right now they royally suck. They may reach the next round but they are going nowhere in this world cup.
