I bet ye of little faith did not believe me when I told you why the US wasn't winning the World Cricket Cup.

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->U.S. all-rounder Charles Reid, who nearly missed the game after being stuck in Florida because of Hurricane Frances, was the most economical of the U.S. bowlers with one for 37 from his 10 overs.
The United States, who qualified for the 12-nation tournament through the ICC Six Nations Challenge, are a collection of part-timers with 42-year-old <b>Lambert</b> their best-known player.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Ha! And who was it that stood at midwicket and stopped a sure boundary shot from Lambert with his knee - and still went on to complete the match, took one catch despite some idiot running into him at the last moment, and then batted brilliantly against the 7-foot 300lb fast bowler on Lambert's team, until being sneakily got out
st. Lambert's kid, b. Lambert just a few runs (99 to be precise) short of a century?
As I mentioned before, only reason why US ain't winning is that THE top player in the US is out (probably on permanent basis) - injured reserve.

P.S. Lambert that day scored over 200 - in less than 40 overs. Not one of our most successful matches, sad to say. <!--emo&:flush--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/Flush.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='Flush.gif' /><!--endemo-->
