well, heres my comment.
sadly. none of this tournament was broadcast down under (on free to air tv anyway). so no one i know really go into it. added to that we've been in the business end of our two major footy codes' seasons... so there isn
t much interest in cricket at this time of year. we've been shown highlights in the news, but even then its only of Australia's games.
but, losing to England in the 2nd most important 1-Day cricket tournament is pretty unforgivable. i mean, we haven't lost to them in this format for 5 years. so well done England, they must have played well.
there has been a bit of hype surrounding the upcoming Test series between Australia and India (in India), which is the only place where Australia has
never dominated... the general hype is that this is the last frontier for the test squad. lets just hope the players who play in both the one-day and the test squads find some better form before they hit the sub continent... they'll need it against Tendulkar and co.
