Opening Ceremony

[_Ed_]

On target for 5,000 in this thread, Rich?

I hadn't noticed! I'd better make sure it's not a completely rubbish post...

Expected better from Sean Paul tbh.

Me too, bit disappointed. Whoever it is at the moment is much better.

I actually heard that interview with Ricky Ponting, this is getting better by the minute.

Were those fireworks meant to go off while Brian Lara was talking? Looked to me like someone got over-excited and fired off prematurely.

[Turbinator]

Hmmm honestly, not bad.

The Indian dance better be good .

 

[Turbinator]

Wow, one of those Indian girls doing the Indian dance was pretty ***y!

Haha

The ceremony was ok. Had its moments I suppose. It may have been mentioned already but what was up with the bad light? They couldn't use some type of flood lights to better illuminate the ground?

1996 was good. ihated the lack of soud early in the coverage today. the start was poor but overall lot of colour. and hw abt the bermuda shorts?

Before that happens will somebody please send the Saffies an e-mail explaining how the Duckworth/Lewis method works.
I would if I knew how, but I don't.
Of course, I'm also a Saffie.

Cricket would not be cricket without bad light, TBH.

Its not just that song, its the whole atmosphere. Just a stage in the middle of an empty stadium.

Well it was sold out so make of that what you will.

 

[adharcric]

Well it was sold out so make of that what you will.

Definitely got better with time. That song in the beginning was just pathetic though.

Sony MAX, (unfortunately for fans) the official broadcaster of the World Cup in India, did not show the opening ceremony. They showed an old Bollywood movie instead.
