Well that was disappointing to wake up to. Come on associates, can't you throw us a bone with a true upset? Ireland beating the Windies doesn't count.

UAE's most capped player is 43 years old with 10 ODIs. Averages 53 though.

I forgot the UAE was in this world cup. My fondest world cup memory of the UAE was in 1996 when they played South Africa. Their opening batsman figured it would be a good idea to face Allan Donald wearing a hat. That didn't last very long. edit: It's even mentioned in the batter's wiki entry.

I remember his floppy grey sunhat well, it's in the 1996 montage video on youtube.

I'm all for supporting the associates but their games are boring as poo poo and essentially worthless.

Pretty decent chance the Aus v Banger match will we washed out on Saturday with the tropical low off the coast. I blame the icc.

What is everyone thinking at the moment anyway? Haven't had a lot to go on but I think the top four from Pool A will be pretty clear. The Windies are going to give the associates in Pool B a real sniff at quarters, though. I'd guess this order: Pool A Australia New Zealand England Sri Lanka Pool B South Africa India Pakistan WI/Ire/UAE/Zim separated by NRR

Don't know if anyone posted this yesterday but I like the idea. http://www.foxsports.com.au/cricket...u-1227224280799 quote:CRICKET Australia chairman Wally Edwards has put forward a number of radical suggestions to increase the relevance of one-day cricket, including labelling all ODI matches as ‘World Cup Cricket’.
