Well, it's sputtered and faltered it's way here, through sponsorship rows and terrorism fears and political pressure and numerous injuries. But it's Here.
On Feb 9th West INdies take on South Africa and the greatest cricket show on earth gets underway.
Between the Guyanese and the Europeans I figure we should have enough interest in cricket to make a poll here at DD.
I went for New Zealand cuz I don't think anyone's beaten them in the last 2 years. Conditions in NZ have changed a lot. THey have bouncy pitches with pace and they are used to south african-like conditions. Plus I'm a great fan of pace bowling and Shane Bond is my current favorite (Akhtar and Lee are faster, sure, but not better.)
If any of you have no idea what 'cricket' or 'pace' are, or are thinking "Didn't we just have the World cup?", then I doubt you'll ever get it. Just shake your head and move on...
