The Wheel is Forever
OK, I would be happy if we won the WC....It would be more than just good...

Not to these people though.No I understand that, and I am not questioning him getting ecstatic over a draw in England... but it's just that WC means so much more to me.
Yea, WC is nice and everything.I want to believe you SS, I really do.
But surely winning the World Cup would mask the fact that there are problems with your Test team?
Haha, well.... that is the Ashes.
You mean WC83.I'll swap you WC87 for our away victory in SA 04-05
Only kidding. Would only swap THAT victory for one thing. No prizes and all that...
Ashes or not, beating or drawing in Australia is no small accomplishment, and easily ranks above a ODI tournament in my mind.Haha, well.... that is the Ashes.
Hey, isn't that from one of my threads?
He was supposed to be retiring from ODIs in 2006 too. Then he got the captaincy. I'm not exactly confident in Lara going to England again.Yeah, Lara is reportedly retiring from ODIs after the WC to extend his Test career. Good man.
Considering there will be no McGrath or Warne, I would.You'd take winning the World Cup over a Test Series victory in Australia?
You think that it's no big achievement to beat Australia in Australia without McGrath and Warne? Clearly you underestimate the ability of Australia.Considering there will be no McGrath or Warne, I would.
Sorry. Who beat us in the 87 final then? Or did we get knocked out in the semis?You mean WC83.
Australia beat you guys in the final.Sorry. Who beat us in the 87 final then? Or did we get knocked out in the semis?
My knowledge of WC history is pretty atrocious really
I hope he does, I'm in the ballot for tickets for England v WI this year and it would be a shame not to see him one last time.He was supposed to be retiring from ODIs in 2006 too. Then he got the captaincy. I'm not exactly confident in Lara going to England again.
Winning the WC, honestly, isn't that easy. Let's face it, Australia are destined to win the WC again. And to get past them is, IMO, quite an achievement.Haha, beating Australia in test matches...in Australia. Not bigger than rattling of a bit of an ODI streak? Thats ridiculous. Its upto you what you value more, but its not a contest in terms of which is harder.
Right then. It's on, SS I'll give you our 2-1 victory in South Africa, and you can in turn name us the World Champions of 1983.Australia beat you guys in the final.
We lost to you in the semis, and Pakistan lost to Australia.
I object .Right then. It's on, SS I'll give you our 2-1 victory in South Africa, and you can in turn name us the World Champions of 1983.
Well, we might get the 2-1 in SA by ourselves.Right then. It's on, SS I'll give you our 2-1 victory in South Africa, and you can in turn name us the World Champions of 1983.
