Match of the Day in military shocker

Take Sky - Saturday you've got Jeff Stelling and all the faces. The Monday version, it's Rob McCaffrey, Scott Minto and a bag of peanuts.

Cricket World Cup bursts to life
Okay, so I exaggerate, but they might just give off some essence of energy when we face Sri Lanka this Wednesday.
Bizarre that the Windies have already played twice the number of games than us, but it's a format that has proved itself to remain exciting for long periods, and we'll certainly be in for a test in Antigua.
A win will certainly give the guys that last bit of self-belief that they still seem to be missing in certain areas, but then we only ever beat Australia at one-dayers, don't we?
