[Cricket] World Cup 2007

[H5N]

Come on Pakistan, win this one for Bob.

[snyper]

^ no! win it for Ireland...

We go to the super 8 if they do!!!

[red.]

i doubt Pakistan will be losing this match considering what it means for them.

[leesmithg]

Pakistan should beat Zimbabwe.

I don't know the current score as my two children are doing homework and tv not allowed on.

I will find score on net, hopefully it will be posted here.

Edit/ 17th Match, Group D: Pakistan v Zimbabwe at Kingston - Mar 21, 2007

Zimbabwe won the toss and elected to field first

Pakistan 133/2 (23.5 ov)

Imran Nazir 58* Inzamam-ul-Haq 28* CJ Chibhabha 0.4-0-10-0 P Utseya 2-0-15-0

Not bad.

Well there you go man. We set Zimbabwe a target of 350, it's pretty safe to assume you will be in the super eights. Good luck to Ireland. (Y)

[snyper]

Good luck to Ireland

Thanks! Cricket is taking Ireland by storm thanks to these guys!

[Crazysah]

Pakistan won! Good win for them.

As for Ireland... well they are in the next round!

[H5N]

Yeah, I was happy and sad for the team. It was Inzi's last ODI after all. He was pretty tearful when he got out for his 37. :(

[Crazysah]

Yeah. I saw that. His post match intervirew was good.

[red.]

yeah it was pretty sad seeing a teary eyed Inzi walking off the pitch after getting out.

[Rahul]

yeah it was pretty sad seeing a teary eyed Inzi walking off the pitch after getting out.

He always keeps on crying , even the last time someone called him Aaloo (Potato) in Toronto the fat guy started crying , anyways good luck to Ireland & even better luck to Pakistan for trying to kidnap the Irish Cricket Coach.

It was his last ODI. It was his last World Cup. Of course he would be emotional. He did end his world cup campaign with something to smile about though. After all they've (the Pakistan team) been through, it was good to see this:

Tonight is India vs Sri Lanka. Massive game for us Indians. If we loose then we are out. If we win then I believe we can make the semi-finals.

[Anand]

Go India!

Otherwise the sponsors will murder the Indian team. They'll lose their billions. :p

[.AlleymaN]

Yay, India out...useless overhyped team :(

Didnt even put up a proper fight.

[jugaaru]

This is a big set back for India.

[Anand]

The sissies are out! :angry:

I pity the sponsors. They've lost billions. Just because a sissy team with a sissy coach couldn't beat Bangladesh!

All hopes on Bermuda now.

Go LEVEROCK, a billion hearts are with you! GO and BEAT Bangladesh! Then India will go into the second round.

But, hoping that Bermuda will beat Bangladesh is useless. It's not going to happen. But, if it does happen, then Leverock will be the biggest star in India.

[.AlleymaN]

Would you really want India to go into Super 8's based on some other teams performance? They simply don't deserve to go ahead this time around.

[H5N]

OMG the ball is swinging like craaazy! Indians, do not give up hope! Bangladesh are 37/3 (7.1ov/21ov) as of right now. Target is 96. This game is gonna be interesting! :yes:

[Jerichohol]

The sissies are out! :angry:

I pity the sponsors. They've lost billions. Just because a sissy team with a sissy coach couldn't beat Bangladesh!

I agree, Sack the entire India team, they have failed miserably. Good Bye Dravid and Chappell and all the selectors. There needs to be a serious re-organisation in the team. They need to plan now properly for the next world cup. They have 4 years to do it. Bowling, batting and fielding all need to improve a lot.

Also regarding the sponsorship, quite a few Indian companies there, I keep on seeing Hutch and Hero Honda logos.

So who is going to win this one now. I'm going for Sri Lanka to go to the end.

[H5N]

At least Pakistani and Indian fans have one thing to share in this World Cup - both got beat by minnows. :p

Cheer up guys, lets hope for the better in the next one. (Y)

I also think Sri Lanka can take this all the way to the end. (And I hope the Irish whoop them Aussies on Tuesday!)

[.Kompressor]

Watching Australia vs West Indies remainder today. They way the AUSSIES are playing it looks like they will retain the championship. The left handed bowlers are dangerous. lol

I also like the west indies but they are not looking good today. :( The new cricket ground in Antigua looks wicked.... they have a wading pool in the party stand on the grounds LOL everyone drunk and already splashing about while watching the game.

Ireland in the s8's

Who'd have guessed...

course the english media want to be ###### and say that its because of Matchfixing and our non national players...

Funny considering england have AN IRISH BATSMAN THEY STOLE FROM US...ED JOYCE :angry:

[kingroach]

from cricinfo:

Ed Joyce, who starred for Ireland when they qualified for the World Cup, hopes his inside knowledge of the team will give England an edge when they meet Ireland on Friday. Joyce said Ireland were a better all-round unit than some people gave them credit for but England should win by "keeping it simple".

btw.. how can an Irish playergets to play for UK?.. do all Irish cticzens have dual citizenship of UK or Joyce took the citizenship of UK?..

[shajiby]

bangladesh for the win!!!
