They have a good batting line up and are on home ground, but I would'nt be putting any money on India winning the Cup. Too many players to hide in the field.

Their fielding was poor against England and was probably the main reason as to how England got to 338. Based on that display the Indians are going to have to score 325+ every game against the top sides. I was amazed at how many two's could be run as fielders on the edge of the circle were incapable of moving quick enough.

A team are'nt under pressure to score boundaries against India there's a shed load of runs that can be scored by just placing the ball into gaps in the outfield.

The team has always been referred to as England even though it's officially the England and Wales Clicket Board. It's not as big a game in Wales (only really being played local to me rather than through the whole of Wales) so doubt we'd be able to field a full team if it was just us.

You're alright mate, don't think anyone Welsh has made the team for a while. OC would know for sure but I can't think of anyone making a major impact since Simon Jones in the 2005 Ashes series.

The team has nothing to do with England its defo' Welsh today.

Cook is half Welsh by his Mum. The head of the Board, Huw Morris and the man who deserves a lot of credit (apart from today) is Welsh.

I've always found cricket to be popular in Wales. Two years ago I spent a few days at the Colwyn Bay Festival and plan to go there again this year.

:leprechaun:

Fucking colonel gaddafis let us down good and proper today :angry2:

Beaten by the Paddy's. Bit embarrasing. But as Kevin O'Brien scored the fastest century in Cricket World Cup history something was always liable to happen.

That's a win, tie and defeat for England. Wonder what the odds were on that happening?

Just wait till we play South Africa......................

Eng-er-land :georgecross:just sneaked a win against south africa by 6 runs :sweatdrop:thought we'd no chance after our innings but Banga and Windies next so hope to make it through to next stage

I didnt expect to beat South Africa so it was great to win such a tight game. I noticed in such a low scoring game that South Africa conceded 20 extras and England only 6. In fact Extras were Englands third highest run scorer. Yarpies only have themselves to blame giving that many runs away is piss-poor.
