Sri Lanka (primarily as I put money on them before the tournament :laugh: )

Then:

New Zealand
South Africa
Australia

in that order.

Sri Lanka, even after their kick in the teeth to the Australia v Sri Lanka spectators/viewers.


New Zealand are extremely dull to watch and are mostly mediocre, as my dad says when Italy win 1-0 borefests in football "they'll do away with the game".

South Africa are also dull, lacking in character and are somewhat manufactured (bowling is mass produced seamers and robotic batting - all a bit devoid of flair). They've got the witness who's obviously a tosser. Also they're a bit of a bully team who don't like it up 'em - which isn't a particularly endearing trait either.

Australia win more than enough as it is.


Sri Lanka winning would be the best for cricket, they've got a few exciting players, some character and an enthusiasm for the game.

NZ and Sri Lanka first, New Zealand have always been by second/third team and this Sri Lankan side is just cool. Then the Saffers I guess cos they've not won it before and Australia are last by default.

Scaly - nothing more boring than watching Collingwood and Bell bat together..

I wouldn't say NZ are that dull though. Perhaps you could comment on whether you find these guys dull?

Fleming - one of the most classical batsmen going round

Taylor - NZs most exciting young batsman since Macca

Macca - tbh there is nothing dull about Macca

Oram - I agree that his bowling is dull, but his batting is anything but.

McCullum - An attacking lower order player who recently scored the fastest world cup 50.

Bond - probably the best ODI bowler going around at the moment...

Fulton, Styris, Franklin, Gillespie, Vettori, Patel, Mason, Marshall aren't anything special though, I agree.

Weren't you just chastising your countrymen the other day for presupposition in his direction?

(And this is not a comment about the person Blaze was commenting on in any way)

:huh:

(The smiley is more than it seems)
well i am not exactly bashing scaly for his view on NZ. I just want an honest opinion from him about the players I mentioned.

it's a bit different to just quoting his post with a 8-) and saying 'here comes scaly with the kiwi bashing again'

Hmm, fair enough I suppose.

I won't say anything further on the board because I've promised the company I won't.
