I hope Bangladesh & Ireland win their respective matches today. It would be great fun!

I guess the only consolation is that Pak are 120/8

You're not going to miss anything, other than maybe Bangladesh winning. Go study for the exam.shramana said:191 all out! And I'm watching this match ? I have my maths board exam on 22nd, shame on me.
:yuck:neutrino said:Make that 132 all out. I'm rooting for the Irish today. Bray is going to make at least a half-century.
huh?
1st Bangladesh wicket down.
Can India restrict Bangladesh to less than 191? (Currently 24/0.)

Would be nice if they did.George Jones said:Are the minnows on a roll? Can Canada knock off England today? I highly doubt it. :grumpy:

I'm not sure if that's a sarcastic comment, but they did play the first ever WC, back in 1975.MadScientist 1000 said:Canada has a cricket team?
That's the problem! Too much money, both from Board of Control for Cash in India and from endorsements. They're too busy modelling for ads.our team is the highest paid team in the world...
OMG! That's a shocker...never heard that. It's a greater shock than Pakistan's defeat. He was dedicated in making Pakistan a better team.klusener said:Bob Woolmer, the coach of the Pakistani cricket team, has just passed away.
Once again, we're reminded that cricket is nothing more than a simple game. The world will miss a dedicated man.

India better do good in this cup. After all, our team is the highest paid team in the world...
You don't think that your population base of over 1 billion is enough to find a few decent cricketersMadScientist 1000 said:Dang it! I hate it when that happens!
Just another sarcastic comment.
Even though I myself am an Indian, I feel sorry for your loss. I don't think the Pakistani team will ever be the same again without Woolmer. The Pakistani team is equally good as the Indian team, and may even have more talent. Too bad we can't combine both teams under "Pak-India" and beat everyone in the World Cup.
neutrino said:[sarcasm]oooh! Highest total in WC! What a great team![/sarcasm]
That too?! :yuck: I only watched the last over, and noticed only record for the total.George Jones said:And The Wall had the highest strike rate (350). Of course, he only faced two balls.
neutrino said:Unbelievable fellow...did you see the way he dived to get Uthapa out?
George Jones said:
Nope... Typical Self destruct by the Scots.Anttech however, can't have much to celebrate about with the Dutch easily walloping the Scots.
Pakistan's cricket coach Bob Woolmer was murdered in his hotel room on Sunday after the team's World Cup shock defeat to Ireland, Jamaican police say.
A post-mortem examination established that the former England player had died as a result of "manual strangulation", police commissioner Lucius Thomas said.
J77 said:I think the tournament should be put on hold until those behind Woolmer's murder have been caught.
It's terrible
Gokul43201 said:10 overs are nearly up and the Candians are putting up a fight all right! George must be pleased so far.
Yeah -- but I didn't want to post the (main) two speculations. (I'm listening to R5 for the story.)George Jones said:I doubt it was a random act, and I , too, wonder whether the tournament should proceed.
Sri Lanka will bat first and score somewhere in the 250-275 range. India will fall short by 30-40 runs.George Jones said:Anyone care to make a prediction about today's big match?
