cigar for the WC Final?

[Ken Gargett]

for those of us planning the long vigil through the night to watch the final, anyone planning on anything special?

after the snacho panza sanchos for the semi, i am thinking of a monte A.

I've only ever understood wc to stand for water closet - if that is correct, I'd probably

go with something smaller..........

Nacho Panza Sanchos? Sounds delish... do you like yours with jalapenos?

Or did you mean Snatcho Panzas? A bit 'fishy' for my palate!

How can you consider anything but an SLR DC?

Alas, a pity. But enjoy the games. Sounds exciting; wish I were there.

A nice P2 and a Sir Winston...

[Bernard]

I think a Monte 5, which should be long enough for the Australian Innings, which will consist of Murali and Malinga taking 5 each and a series of long walks back to the pavilion by the dejected Aussies.

Following that, a D4, for the short time it will take for the Lankans to score the runs and a decent celebration afterwards.

Ok, perhaps that was a bit bitter and twisted....

Will it be a titanic battle? Will it be another one sided aussie victory? Will the Lankans hit top form at the right time?

[Cam]

I was thinking a monte 5 for australia, even a club, or I might light up a Dom Perignon in mourning for you poor buggers

[Jimmy2]

Monte 5 would be good for a checker's match LOL.

bernard, i meant a cigar, not a box. just got to this. long night. ended in a farce with no light and no one any idea of scores etc but what a knock by gillie. talk about saving the best for last.

get back to me when the all blicks have won three world cups in a row. or even three world cups in total.

then again, we are talking about a country where more than half the population is too young to even remember their country ever winning a world cup.

[Bernard]

Brilliant cricket. Well done to the Aussie team. Pretty scary how they dominated this tournament. The ending was an ICC mess, but par for the course. When a world cup is played with empty stands, something went wrong.

Very impressive to see the new talent in the team.

Back here, the blame game continues...the administrators want answers, the politicians want answers and the cricketers just want to play.

Next time...SA to win by 3 wickets over Aus in the final, with Boucher hitting the winning runs off Hogg.

[El Presidente]

Thankyou Bernard for your gracious thoughts

I rose at 2am in time to see one of the great batting innings of all times. I was in awe watching Gilly hit 149 off 104 balls (or thereabouts).

Snacho Panza? You started drinking early Ken?

What was your mum smoking? :wink:

[Ken Gargett]

boucher and hogg in four years? a veterans' tournament?

[Bernard]

» boucher and hogg in four years? a veterans' tournament?

Boucher will be there. Experience needed. Unless AB de Villiers keeps wicket. Either way, the result will be the same.

The local press is still doing a post mortum on the tour.
