Group B - Pakistan, England, Netherlands

[Uppercut]

as if!

to be honest, i'd love it if ireland went through. just not in a pub full of irish supporters...as was the case in 2007. :|

Haha i don't mean we're going to win again, I mean there's going to be a big rematch. Not confident we have what it takes against Ajmal in particular.

Pak into the super 8's.

OMG I was suppporting Dutch side.

 

[Naumaan]

Be ready for 50-60 Runs defeat on 15th
i mean be ready Ireland
what happened that day, doesn't happen again & again
england had a poor day when they lost to Netherlands & Netherlands had a good day

Well just waiting for India-Pak game in the super 8's

Well just waiting for India-Pak game in the super 8's

Looks like you will be waiting for a few years then. India and Pak are in different Super8 groups.

 

[abhinav_super]

mmm, Oh damn!

If Pak finished at no.1 team in it's own group than I think Pak would be meeting Ind in the super 8's.

Outstanding call. I truly expected that it would come down to the last over with the Dutch just getting their 151 runs to qualify. Hats off to you.

It was a pretty easy call to make. The way the last two games had gone had meant that Netherlands were overvalued and Pakistan undervalued. Lightening can strike twice but it rarely strikes four times as would have needed to happen in this game (Neth to repeat great, Pak to repeat terrible).

However, its a lot easier to make a call like that as a neutral. If I was a Pakistan fan Id have been stressed and fearing the worst as well.

EDIT- Just to clarify, I said neutral but I would have liked the Netherlands to win

I was really looking forward to see the dutch qualify for the super 8's. Pakistan doesn't seem to have the desire to win the tourny IMO, after Younis Khan's comments.

What a stupid decision by 3rd umpire lol
by the way, i'm happy, it's a slap on the face of those, who rated Pakistan that low
associate wins sometimes but not everytime Dear Sirs
really it was bad to see everyone against Pakistan
which is worst than what i always thought
& Really happy to see some Indians supporting Pakistan
happy to see that
we may well not reach semi's now
but atleast not beaten by Dutch

I agree. Pakistan is better than Netherlands in T20 cricket, but I am not sure where they stand when it comes to Ireland.

 

[TT Boy]

Repeat of the 92 WC?

 

[Goughy]

Repeat of the 92 WC?

What odds Pakistan to win the tournament? Could be worth a sly $1 if good enough odds.

They have a chance

 

[Naumaan]

Now include Pakistan in Group F
unfortunately for many, we've reach super 8's
feel sad for those who really wanted us out of the tournament

 

[AaronK]

Well Pakistan Qulified but I don't know how far will go from here..Fielding still a cause of concern..

They found a good combination and if they go with this combination it is a good one..

 

[Xuhaib]

Repeat of the 92 WC?

hoping but no chance in hell. There is no Inzi, Wasim, Mushy, Miandad and YK is defo not Imran.

 

[Xuhaib]

Ajmal good run has to end soon he is no way this good infact whenever I saw him bowl he looked rubbish.

 

[Naumaan]

Well yeah
& also it's not the real world cup either
& still hard hitting opener is missing

 

[Naumaan]

Oh c'mon
he's great
i like Saeed Ajmal
he bowls Doosra very well
would like Pakistan to reach semi's & possibly final
but really difficult though
