We've also given our predictions for the tournament now at Cricket Web - Features: Cricket Web's World Twenty20 Predictions.

Yeah that's rubbish. A lot of people thought it was a possibility. I wrote in a email to a friend the other day that there was a good chance it might happen. Same with the Ireland Pakistan game, quite a few people called it on here at the time (Prince EWS most famously) and I called Bangladesh to beat SA in the WC (and made a bit of money on it as well).
And David Lloyd said "noone can have predicted this!" on the commentary last night...

There's a lot of ignorance of Associate cricket. I'm sure I'd be the same if i were from a test-playing nation, but the general attitude (personified by Scaly Piscine) is to assume they're crap because... well... everyone knows they're crap. They've never heard of any of their players, but that's just used as more evidence of how bad they are.

Weird that you just said it, as I was about to say that scaly was another of the high-profile posters to predict Ireland beating Pakistan, think he did it well in advance of the tournament. Pickup called it as well, received the old Lillee-Marsh award.
In the Group B preview I said that Netherlands had a chance if England/Pakistan had one of their off-days, but I was off with this. As you said elsewhere, it was all down to the Dutch playing well rather than us playing badly (though hitting the stumps might have helped!)
