I liked the Irish team too... they creamed Pakistan.

Both India and Pakistan looked jaded, 17/18 year old Bangladeshi batsmen treated the Indian bowlers with disdain.
Pakistan is out of the cup, I think. India looks like its getting there.

Don't jump ahead! Last WC they also started off badly and ended up in the Finals. And when Pakistan won the WC they too had a very bad start.

They will come around, I'm sure!

Yeah, I loved the Irish too! That was fun to watch!

capt_mahajan · Mar 18th, 2007, 14:43

Oh I think India will be out not because they lost to Bangladesh, but because I could not see any self belief amonst the Indian's out there.

This wasn't a close defeat... Bangladesh always looked the better side, and they always looked like they were going to win..whether bowling, fielding or batting. And look a the Indian lineup in comparison!

Noodle · Mar 18th, 2007, 14:47

We'll see. The important match will be against Sri Lanka.

There is a lot of talent in the Indian team, they just tend to fall apart because of nerves. It happened in the past and they were able to deliver the next match.

So, let's see.

I heard Pak is out of the game!

Sorry Noodle...better luck next time for ur hopes on Pakistan....sadly their bad start continued to a bad end.

Some of my Indian friends on Indo-Bangla thing

"Man....that was bad"
"my mood was completely off"
"it was all f***ed up maaaaaaaaaaaaaan"

And I simply wondered how they kept hopes. Lately I have come to a belief that Indian Cricketers being patriotic Indians with a deep respect for their culture and Vedic wisdom, have taken the sole responsibility of conveying the Bhagvad Gita message to the entire world.

"Do not expect anything"

OOps....hope am not not laughing much on the Indian state. Not that I have no sportsmanship...I agree wining and losing is a part of the game and life. But at the same time there is nothing unethical to laugh at the loser.....if you have lost a game you are a loser! Yes a loser! Well of course if you have a good balance of victories and failures I would think before laughing

Pakistan is out of the game. That's for sure. The coach Bob Woolmer has died, either from heart attack, suicide and even murder. And Inzamum Ul Haq has retired. The whole country is in disarray at the moment. I feel sorry for Bob Woolmer.

As for India. They should concentrate on playing cricket and not which exfoliating cream to use every night.

Oh how funny this is. Andrew Flintoff on the booze to the early hours, getting axed and suspended...losing to the Kiwis. I wouldn't be surprised if the Kiwis win the tournament. If all their players are fit, they can destroy any team on their day.

I didn't have any hopes placed on Pak just gave an example on how things can turn around. Didn't, of course, for the Pakis this time.

I'm an India fan!

Very very sad about Bob Woolmer!

Right now I give the following teams a chance to win the title:

Australia
NZ
South Africa
India or Sri Lanka

Although I would love to see the Irish and the Bangladeshi turn up in the final matches and upset everybody!

amyl · Mar 20th, 2007, 22:43

my friends in another hostel got a mail from the school about the shouting and cheering they were doing the whole of last night!
Yes....certainly I missed some good batting done.
