Group A - India, Bangladesh, Ireland

[TheEpic]

Actually quite scary how easy that was for Ireland.

 

[Athlai]

Expecting half the Irish team to turn up for England in their next match. Certainly (Niall I mean) O'Brien wouldn't look off in the team. May as well poach them all.

 

[andruid]

Yea N O'Brien was called Neil, Niel and Nial throughout his innings when all you have to is look up and see it's bloody Niall.

They tend to do that for associates (reanaming players that is)

 

[alternative]

Awesome effort from Ireland to win there.

 

[roseboy64]

well done Ireland, stupid captaincy indeed. I'd say it won't be easy for the West Indies if they go through, with their "awesome" fielding. Gayle won't save them all the time.

Ignoring that Fletcher and Bravo have been pretty good in T20s and the bowling is doing well enough.

 

[pasag]

Wonder what happened to all those Irish kids that used to post on the forum, Were like 3 or 4 of them from the same school.

 

[GIMH]

Couple of them still do, headhunter still about AFAIK

 

[Goughy]

Excellent stuff. A result that I like on so many levels.

 

[Kweek]

me too, anyone thinking this was an upset in the tournament it's not...every minnow cricket follower knew this was coming.

 

[Arjun]

Would you still call this group an easy one? Bangladesh running India close, then defeated by Ireland...

Yes.

 

[Prince EWS]

Nah I'd much rather be in the group with Australia, Sri Lanka and West Indies...

Bangladesh ran India close ?

 

[Cruxdude]

Yeah better to be the minnows Aussies rather than Bangladesh and Ireland.

 

[silentstriker]

Yea.

Lol. Come on Arjun.

don't think too many people are suprised tbh.... was half expecting Ireland to roll them over.

 

[ret]

The game showed the importance of Yuvi's innings .... and the trouble Gambhir and Dhoni's batting had put India in to. I hope that lessons are learned

Will be interesting to see who they will drop once Sehwag is fit and at what position will he play


PS

Grp A ----> Ind will go through .... wouldn't rule out Ireland upsetting BD

Grp B ----> Still wide open with NL, Pak and Eng all in with a chance .... If Pak beats Eng then it goes through, along with NL

Grp C ----> WI is likely to go through unless some weird NRR complications happens in case of a 3 way tie on points. so mainly it's b/w SL and OZ for the other spot. Again If SL beats Aus then Sl goes through, along with WI

Grp D ----> should be NZ and SA
