I was in Barabadoes for the Cricket WC in 2007 (I think?). Had no idea it was there, but I had cricket explained to me like 30 times and I still don’t understand how a score of 206 to 3 can be a close match. I like the feather logo the Kiwi team has, though.

I see we have an Indian party in AF.

The rest of the games in the group stage look pretty straightforward, except for the last games of India-SA and Australia-Pak, which should decide the seedings for quarters.

Cities teem with evil and decay, let’s give it a good shake and see what falls out!!

206 = no. of runs
3 = no. of wickets that team lost. That’s the score for one team, not literally 206-3.

Yes they did

I hope India loses, because I don’t want to deal with the celebrations and traffic that will result from a win.

Well if they lose there will be rioting.

Is Sachin Tendulkar still playing for India? What a legend. Loved watching that guy bat.

The Righteous Hacksaw's picture

Yep, he’s still playing.

He is better than ever now. It will be a sad day when he retires.

Amazing match between BD and England. Congrats Bangladesh!!

I don’t mind riots so long as they don’t set off fireworks. I hate fireworks after living here for four years.

So top four teams are looking set to qualify, so the only question left is about seeding. I think India will win their group, and Pak has to not finish bottom to avoid India, and I think they will want to get 3d place in their group. They need to go out and destroy Zimbabwe and will probably lose to Australia.

So Group A will likely end up
Australia
Sri Lanka
Pak
NZ

Group B
India
SA
Eng
WI

As an Irishman it was great to see them claim another test scalp this time around.

Another super thrilling match between SA and India!!
CONGRATS SOUTH AFRICA!!

Awesome match. Two great teams. This opens the whole thing up.

Congrats Pakistan on defeating the undisputed Cricket Champions tonight!

So if India beats West Indies, they will be facing Aussies in QF, right?

Palantir's picture

India will win. So yeah Australia will be the QF. Can’t believe Pakistan actually topped the group. This also unfortunately rules out an India-Pak final.

I thought the whole world (besides Aussies) will be happy that at least someone defeated Australia at the World Cup. Otherwise, it was getting very monotonous to see Australia winning all the time.

True, at the same time, Australia’s aura has been long gone, so it’s a little hard to hate them now. Ricky Ponting has been the captain of a sinking ship.

With that said I have a feeling they are going to be playing a lot better against India….

Looks like all the South African chokers immigrated to England. :D

Yes and I got so bored of seeing Ricky Ponting and his smug face all the time. Pak Team sure adds spice to cricket…like i thought that Afridi is about to undress for his fans in ManoftheMAtch Ceremony. But I am sad about Shoaib Akhtar!

Finally, the results are:

Group A:
PK
Sri Lanka
Aus
NZ

Group B:
SA
India
England
WI

Pakistan should win from WI.
India vs. Aus should be an interesting nail-biting match.
I would like to see SA defeat NZ.

Palantir's picture

Pak should beat WI, but I think WI has a better chance to beat Pak than they do Aus. Pak may win it all, but I’m not really convinced as to the quality of the team.

India should beat Aus, setting up an India Pak semifinal. On the other side, I think both SA and SL should win.
