aren't you from the US?

Pakistan smash Windies to get to the semis.

^ That was too easy.

Aussies vs India was quite close though.....India's lower order batsmen always come through though

Pakistan vs India big match . Hopefully England can get through

Thought you hated cricket.

Probably thinking of someone else.

Na, I'm interested sometimes.....I'd get bored watching test cricket....and I'd watch ODI's maybe...depends what I was doing (e.g. if I was in a pub having a drink then maybe, or at home on a hot day and cba to do anything). 20/20's are pretty good

Beat England by ten wickets. Fuckin yes.

You're not English Eternal?

Half English, half Sri Lankan. But I lived in SL for 13 years, so I supported them

Bloody Sri Lankans

At least I don't work at Waitrose any more, they were all Sri Lankan

Really? Hardly see any Sri Lankans these days.

India v Sri Lanka. Final.

With India winning. Not rocket science three of the sub-continent teams are in the Semi Finals. Expected.

The first batsman blocked two balls so his partner could get a hundred. Embarassment for England.

Loved Dilshan's face after he hit a four instead of giving his partner the strike. Almost embarrassed

C'mon NZ

Us vs You on tuesday, should be a decent match

I was actually going for South Africa - supported them as a kid - but since they're out - NZ

Where in England do you live?

I wouldn't say I see A LOT of Sri Lankans, but when I've been in highschool/college there was a fair amount.

There's more Polish, but it just turned out that at the Waitrose I worked at there was like 10 Sri Lankans

They were friendly and good mates and all....but despite living here 10+ years seemed to lack the English/intelligence that I have...and I felt like I was having to drop some a level .

That's kind of why I'm glad I'm not working there anymore. They're alright but the job + the people I was working with didn't challenge my brain at all.....I felt stupid

Anyway, we're going to be in Euro 2012 and Sri Lanka won't be ..........

Cricket's our only way to get glory. Shite at Rugby, shite at football and non-existent in other sports.

And I'm fairly intelligent, and Sri Lankan's are fairly intelligent. You must have come across a few rejects

And I live in Cambridge shire, plenty of Pakistanis, a fair few Indians but hardly any Sri Lankans I could always go back

Weird, I supported SA as a kid aswell. Still one of my favourites, but every world cup they just choke

Missing the whole match tomorrow because of a fucking politics trip which I can't cancel. I could kill someone

Pumped for Pakistan vs India.

Through to the final

love me some Jacques Kallis

One of my friends thought today's match was England vs New Zealand in the quarter final.

India/Pakistan ICC World Cup Semifinal

What the fuck am I looking at -- what should I know?

Pakistan are not going to win this now. They are simply awful when chasing large totals like this.

Shcked that Riaz has taken 4 wickets. My dad and uncle were talking about how he was a liability as a bowler for Pakistan.

Make that 5 now.

100-2 chasing 261 with 27 overs left. Tough call, but India are the favourites IMO.
