Re: Cricket
So, if Scotland win against Bangladesh, then England will need to win at least one of their remaining 2 games. As they are against lower opposition, England should win those. But the way they are playing, I'm expecting England out before the KO stages.

Re: Cricket
Don't expect great things against lower opposition as Holland and Ireland spring to mind in my memory bank.

Re: Cricket
Yes, Ireland are having a great tournament. Seeing their form here, surely it is only a matter of time before they become a full Test team as well?

They might not even feature at the next World Cup, aren't they trying to cut out the minnows so the tournament doesn't just seem like it's lasting forever, at the expense of growing the game though I guess.

Re: Cricket
Be a shame if they did that, Ireland have had some big upsets over the past few tournaments. To be honest, Ireland more deserving than England to be in the World Cup this year so far.
Latest results (from oldest to most recent):
South Africa beat West Indies by 257 runs
India beat United Arab Emirates by 9 wickets
Sri Lanka beat England by 9 wickets
New Zealand beat Australia by 1 wicket
Pakistan beat Zimbabwe by 20 runs
South Africa beat Ireland by 201 runs
Australia beat Afghanistan by 275 runs
Pakistan beat United Arab Emirates by 129 runs
Bangladesh beat Scotland by 6 wickets
India beat West Indies by 4 wickets
Quarter finals as it stands:
New Zealand v West Indies
Sri Lanka v Pakistan
Australia v South Africa
Bangladesh v India
It goes A1 v B4, so Pool A teams are first in each match.

Re: Cricket
Well South Africa are in trouble this morning against Pakistan so that might throw a spanner in your works Mark.

Re: Cricket
Aye, like I said it was going on the standings as of when I posted. Think Ireland if they win might have a shout at a KO spot.

Re: Cricket
Well the Ireland and Zimbabwe match was certainly entertaining this morning as it went to the wire.

Re: Cricket
England never deserved anything from this tournament and fully deserve to go out.

Re: Cricket
Nasser has it spot on, England play One Day cricket like it is Test cricket. Apparently, they took a few players out who have been playing in the Indian One Day leagues and didn't play them at all. What appalling strategy, why carry on with Test style tactics when you know in advance that you have a limited number of deliveries?
Time for everyone involved with the KP storm to be sacked and rebuild completely. As it stands, honestly cannot see England winning the Ashes series this Summer.
