Things can go crazy in group B

[zen]

OZ would probably need only a few overs to finish off the Scots, esp. if the Scots bat first .... And appears as if 20 overs per side could still take place :dontknow:

[zen]

Pak and WI are favorites to win their games and thus go through to the next round .... In that case, it would be ironic that this group started out with a drama but the actual drama happened in Group A Group B vs Group A Ind vs BD SA vs SL Pak vs OZ WI vs NZ

Fixed

Haha everything was on expected lines by the end,ironical thread.

What crazy? ICC doing their utmost to ensure nothing unexpected happens. *******s

What can icc do here if things take a natural course unless they script all this stuff. Ireland has really done well this time and kudos and associates have atleast put up some fight in patches compared to before but nothing has drastically changed

So, it was Pool A that served up a "surprise" then :D

^ That's good as we will be playing either Aus or NZ (or SA) in the final .... and Asian teams in QF (BD) and SF (SL/Pak). This also guarantees that an Asian team will be in the final' date=' a tradition since 1992[/quote'] Yeah rett, but out of 9-10 countries , currently almost 4 of them are Asians (40-50%), out of which 3 of them are usually good (India, Pak and Sl), so you would always expect that and its not a surprise. Good to see your postings and continue this even after WC. I remember you from espnstar sports cricket forum those days (if you were there)??

So' date=' it was Pool A that served up a "surprise" then :D[/quote'] Yeah, it was always going to be difficult for Ireland. It was a case of so close yet so far for them. Their batting was decent overall in the tournament and experience of having played in county cricket has helped them. If their bowling improves in the future, they have scope for improvement in the near future.

Didn't go crazy at all. :cantstop:

Lol true but it did send shivers down some teams. I am glad that it went so deep and Ireland fought hard in the group to make sure that the last day actually decided the result. Well done to Ireland for being this competitive at least.

Size of defeats to Saffers and India killed them.

Instead it was Group A where it was all happening. Bang v NZ match also was exciting for the QF fixtures.
