World Cup Group Stage Review

[Richard]

well thats the problem with indian and pakistani cricket...and so it should be win win situation but wont happen which is still there fault...

So therefore no good will come of this for India and Pakistan.

it might not make ireland "odi-class" side immediately but it will raise awareness of cricket in ireland...which will likely result in more kids playing cricket...

Nonsense. As I say - over there in the US of A, you don't really have much concept of the Irish situation. You're just generalising and making assumptions.

it will make a impact for bangladesh because they now are more confident than before..and its their accomplishment of their goals for this world cup...so this encourages players to do better...

If players really need encouragement they're not going to amount to much. Doing well in this Cup won't make the players any better or worse than they otherwise would have been.

I know that it got in the irish papers which it never did before

it wont make players better or worse but it will give them confidence...

 

[Richard]

I know that it got in the irish papers which it never did before

No, you don't, because you don't read Irish papers. You have no clue about what has been printed in them in 2003, never mind 1969.

it wont make players better or worse but it will give them confidence...

Which means zilch.

Well i do know that they got more exposure than they did before...i know because i asked irish people

 

[Richard]

Really?

Which would those be then?

 

[LA ICE-E]

huh?

 

[Richard]

Which Irish people did you ask from over there in the US of A?

 

[LA ICE-E]

person at my school...i ask him if he knew that ireland was in the wc and he was like he didn't really know much about it before but later he said that didn't they win something there the other day and so it defiently got exposure to irish people

 

[Richard]

In other words, someone who wasn't in Ireland at the time... and another young lad who doesn't remember 1969...

 

[LA ICE-E]

yeah i know they beat WI(i think) then but they haven't got this much exposure from then

 

[Richard]

You don't know that - you weren't around then.

 

[LA ICE-E]

well i know from reading about them in articles...

 

[Richard]

Really?! Paper-rounds from 1969 are commonplace where you live, are they?

 

[LA ICE-E]

no im not talking about papers but articles that says that it never got that much exposure too....

 

[Richard]

Such articles which speak on what authority, precisely?

 

[LA ICE-E]

i dont know...articles from cricinfo and the world cup site etc...

 

[Richard]

Most of which are written by modern romanticists.

 

[gwo]

Don't be so mean Richard...

 

[Richard]

Ah, but that's all I can be, it's just me...

 

[LA ICE-E]

what? so you have been around 1969? dam...i didn't know i was talking to some old guy...no wonder you so cranky and cynical all the time
