This is the most funniest world cup, before the second round 2 bigs teams are pretty much out though i dont know why i call Pakistan a big team.
But definitely, If i am the indian coach i would be watching the next game between bermuda vs. bangladesh at the airport, and have a plane ready to take me to an secret location if bengladesh won. LOL
Good team work by Sir Lanka , Bowling ,fielding everything. They were all over the place in fielding which i think is the key to there win yesterday.

gotta admit, pretty solid batting performance by Australia.
Watched the first 12 overs of the first innings at a mates who has Foxtel, that was some great hitting.
The bowling is still a worry though, it still seems we might have problems defending any totals. Up against Sri Lanka and if we come up against South Africa again we could be in trouble.

professional performance from england too. Besides picking mahmood over plunkett, we did what others haven't done & got the job done against the Kenyans. Tikolo batted & bowled very well as you'd expect of their best player, but most of the rest were a class below. Joyce got some runs and Pietersen played well, I expected him to try to dominate it a lot more but he was intelligent. While we go into the super eights one game down from the kiwi one, we've got the ability to test every other team on a given day, provided we perform.

I'm actually glad England won, or else the Super 8's might not have been so super with Ireland, Kenya and Bangladesh (likely). Lets be honest, as great as it is to see them playing well and taking it to the established teams, they're not gonna give the tourney a shake are they?
Your provisional Super 8's:
Australia
South Africa
Ireland
England
Sri Lanka
New Zealand
Bangladesh
West Indies

Ok, so Bangladesh vs Bermuda today. The decider match for India.
Rain has delayed the start. It seems the match will be delayed atleast till lunch time. Doesn't look good for India, if they call off the match.

outfield looks awful at this new stadium. Sooooooo slow. Obviously hasn't grown in yet.

Wow...
India out. Pakistan out. Not much left in the World Cup for me but this is just very disappointing. I feel really bad for Pakistan as well. What I dun get it is how could two such strong teams on paper perform this miserably.
The positive that can come out of this is that both Ireland and Bangladesh would see a boost in their cricket - so thats good for cricket in general. Not the ICC though because of the revenues they would be losing out on.
I am now supporting for Windies and South Africa. SA really deserves to win a world cup and luck has never favored them in any of the previous World Cups...
I still remember that 99' WC Australia vs South Africa semi final when Klusener was just destroying everything in and around him. I hope SA does well this World Cup. I think its long overdue and they definitely deserve it...
I've been reading the news about India's prospects. Something tells me both India and Pakistan will change big time in the near future. They are fucked right now...but the only way from here is upp....
