3/6/2007 8:16:25 PM

3/6/2007 8:17:27 PM

India is gonna win it all

3/6/2007 8:25:46 PM

I got Bermuda.

I'm trying to find an online audio to listen to while at work. Cricket's a bit like baseball as far as listening to a radio and passing the time.

3/6/2007 9:18:15 PM

INDIA is the favorite

3/6/2007 9:47:14 PM

Is cricket the only sport India is good at?

3/6/2007 9:56:52 PM

Sorry to break it to you, but India's not gonna win.

pretty much. But sometimes they suck real bad.

btw, Galaxy is showing the cup at $5 per match.

Soccer & Cricket are the only true global team sports. And India is great at one of those.

But, aside from that.. India is good at many other sports, but most of those tends to be confined to India since they didn't go colonizing the world.

3/6/2007 10:43:42 PM

dude, my cousin is like the most important cricket person in South Africa evah....

but I've never seen a game...

What's your cousin's name?

& Cricket is a fascinating game.. After you get into it.. it never leaves you.

3/6/2007 10:45:37 PM

well for fun, who in your opinion is the most important cricket person in South Africa's history of cricket?

3/6/2007 10:52:59 PM

i would say vlade divac

3/6/2007 10:54:15 PM

I don't know many South African cricketeers.. but, my guess would probably be Shaun Pollock, or someone recent

3/6/2007 11:03:06 PM

hah...ok, no....Ali Bacher

3/6/2007 11:15:05 PM

your cousin is Ali Bacher! how old are you

3/6/2007 11:17:48 PM

well he's my mom's 1st cousin...and my mom is I think the youngest out of all the cousins and there are a shit ton. I think Ali's kids are older than me...

3/6/2007 11:42:20 PM

We will be showing the entire Cricket World Cup at the Galaxy Cinema in Cary. We will have the passes ready by the beginning of next week. Come join us. Pretty sure the India matches might end up selling out.

3/7/2007 8:51:47 AM

you forgot about how many brown people there are on tdub

3/7/2007 8:55:09 AM

so i know nothing about cricket but see highlights on Sky Sports News. I can't figure out what the hell is going on. Is it something that is real confusing if you did not grow up with it? if you get 3 outs the other team bats but sometimes do they decide they have enough runs and let the other team bat without being out? I realize this question is dumb- any help please

3/7/2007 8:56:25 PM

Yeah, take a look at the NC State Cricket Team.

You knew as soon as that story broke it had to be murder.

3/23/2007 10:04:54 AM

We got a big crowd here at Galaxy watching the India/Sri Lanka match. If India loses, they are out. The afternoon session should be huge.

3/23/2007 10:10:44 AM

compare the number of national federations of cricket to the other team sports.

^table tennis nearly as many National Federations??? as SOCCER.. that should tell you something...

[Edited on March 23, 2007 at 3:35 PM. Reason : )(]

3/23/2007 3:34:07 PM

It tells me that Table Tennis is a truly global sport. Well, game.

3/23/2007 4:06:19 PM

Chess is india's national sport, not Cricket

3/23/2007 4:09:53 PM

1. according to that ^^^ dragon boat racing and handball are more popular than hockey. haha!
2. where is the american cricket team? i'm sure there are enough americans who play cricket to field a team.
3. i saw sru playing cricket once.

that is all. bye.

3/23/2007 4:32:32 PM

^ and how vast is your worldly experience in the area of dragon boat racing and handball. Facts are facts. Table tennis is to China what Cricket is to India. And there are more people in China.

3/23/2007 5:14:56 PM

doesn't change the fact that 50 million > 3 million.

3/23/2007 5:31:21 PM

There are 1.3 billion people in china. you dont think 4% of them can participate in dragon boat racing?
especially when there are like 30-40 of the fuckers to a boat

[Edited on March 23, 2007 at 5:35 PM. Reason : .]

3/23/2007 5:34:19 PM

dude, i considered that before you pointed it out. again, it still doesn't change the fact that a shitload of more people participate in dragon boat racing than hockey. hey, atleast hockey is more popular than rugby. that really suprises me, because rugby is played in way more countries than hockey.

3/23/2007 5:40:59 PM

The only two WORLD CUPs I know are Cricket and Football...

Wrong answer. Hockey is India's national sport.

American cricket association was recently suspended by the ICC.

^^ Rugby, Baseball (World Classic, started last year), and Ice Hockey (held sporadically)

Mainly South Asian and Afro-Caribbean ex-pats. We did not qualify. See final qualifying group tables below, five qualified (top two in each plus the Dutch). The ten test nations (England, Australia, New Zealand, West Indies-a conglomeration of most of the English-speaking Caribbean countries, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Zimbabwe, and South Africa) plus Kenya automatically qualified.

But we did qualify for the Rugby World Cup in September.

Baseball world cup was played last year. I was in Korea at the time and it was pretty dramatic how they won pretty much everything and then Japan defeated them in a grudge match to knock them out.
