Worst upsets in cricket history


Recommended Posts

Bangladesh beating Australia during 2005 natwest was the upset of the age for me. That time they were literally "minow" nation and they came out to defeat Australia which no one expected from them. Especially beating Australia in England. Netherland vs England. HMM. Twenty20 will break lot of hearts in future too so let's not include that format. Twenty20 is format where every nation who dominates give more attention to minnows then what they give attention to them in other format. Thee's a reason to it.

To be honest though, the sport of cricket rarely produces huge upsets because the pool of teams is pretty small. So, you can't see a football team like Senegal ranked not even in the top 40 beating the defending champs, France at the 2002 WC.
