England's gonna suck up Big time!! They are not even favorites to win World Cup.

I get the impression that England is annoyed that after inventing the game, they are now dominated at it by their former colonies.

Is one of the game's objectives to knock out the opposition's teeth?

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) finally made a formal request to the ICC to allow for the inclusion of Mohammad Sami and Yasir Arafat for the World Cup as replacements for Shoaib Akhtar and Mohammad Asif. In another significant move, the PCB also received the complete medical reports on the injuries to Shoaib and Asif from its medical commission.

"We received comprehensive reports on the injuries of Shoaib and Asif which have now been sent to the ICC along with a request for the inclusion of Sami and Arafat," Dr Ahsan Malik, the PCB's director of communications, told The News. He said that the PCB is expecting a clearance from the World Cup Technical Committee shortly, adding that Sami would fly to the West Indies early on Tuesday. Arafat would wait for the result of his dope test before flying to Trinidad later this week.
