Now let's see how my Indian team will do against the Netherlands.

 

[H0wZ4T!]

BREAKING NEWS

The Group 1 match between India and the Netherlands has been moved to the 24th of December after Tropical Storm Ivan hit the St Kitts and Nevis area. However, the Australia versus Scotland did manage to take place, because it was afterward that the storm hit. So, the Indian match will take place in Nevis, early tomorrow morning, the same time as Group 2 opener England vs Ireland.

Ivan batters the West Indies, temporarily halting the World Cup

 

[H0wZ4T!]

Fixtures for the 24th :

India vs The Netherlands (moved from the 23rd)
England vs Ireland
Pakistan vs Kenya

Starting line-ups required for England and Pakistan by 19:30 tomorrow

 

[w3lshrugby]

I forgive you Howzat, no worries!

 

[Leicester Fox]

oh no. It would be a horrible shame if tendulkar and dravid were injured in the storm leaving them unable to play against us Aussies.

 

[plympilgrim]

[Leicester Fox]
