Super Eights - Predictions

Find a clever epithet for New Zealand you lazy cnut.
 
No way. They'll hammer England.

Sri Lanka have an amazing bowling attack.
 
I tipped New Zealand to win the WC. Aussies will probably win, though, surprise surprise.
 
Quite well, all things considered. I was having a stressful work week last week but in the end I got a raise so I can't complain. I can stumble around bewildered at exactly how I managed that, but I can't complain.

How was the vacation? Your ruse caused quite a stir.
 
Jollies were top. Enjoyed my time. Needed the break. Heard about the wind up. . .went better than I imagined.

And you're not a cricket fan are you?

I used to work with a Pakistani woman who explained the sport to me in detail (I also watched a bollywood movie called 'Lagaan', full of Cricket) and after all that, I still don't understand it at all. So no, I'm not a fan.

It looks fun to play, though.
 
Yeah, especially when a rock hard ball's been hurled at you at over 90mph!!

Love the sport myself, although I can appreciate it looking boring as feck to non fans.

For me it's not so much boring as "what the feck is going on?" and "how did they achieve that score?". on occasion I'm a bit thick.
 
Which rules don't you get then, Doc?

Um, mostly the scoring.

I think I know that the bowler tries to knock over the three sticks to get the batter out, and the runs are scored by running back and forth between the bowlers spot and the sticks (are those wickets?).

well, anyway, I'm cluess to pretty much the whole event.
