Super Eight

[Perm]

No, they may move up and down fighting with kenya and zimbabwe. But they do have odi's and other things confirmed with icc organizing some for them.

What I'm saying is that they won't be playing enough games to make any significant moves up or down the rankings, they are basically there just for looks.

 

[LA ICE-E]

until more assocites get promoted as well. they are going to be playing more than they ever did.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Yes. Ive just stuck £30 on Bang winning.. maybe I will watch more intently now.. or maybe I will watch the football at 4pm.

Yeah I just put 100 on Bangladesh winning.

Hard luck guys

 

[pasag]

Can't ****ing wait for tonight's game, it must be said. Hopefully we will see the first memorable game of the World Cup.

 

[Dizzy #4]

The 12th team in the Main table is now 11th, I think, taking over the winless Kenya.

Sri Lanka better off losing tonight as that will mean they will play at St Lucia in the Semis which suits SL rather than Kingston Jamaica which would favour South Africa or England (as the 4th Placed Team) IMO .

Besides loser tonight will , IMO be the winner in the crunch game next time ...So I think a loss tonight will not be bad for SL....

* Psyching myself to accept a loss tonight*

 

[JBH001]

I'm scared, very scared....

Nervous and tense too. I dont think SL have what it takes, but go Sri Lanka!

No need for its own thread. Into the main thread you go.

[Raghav]

From NZ point of view, is there such thing like, SRL shud win. Are there any such things in store for NZ ....

Yeah, some dire commentary this WC, TBH.

 

[Perm]

Am thoroughly looking forward to the game tonight, will be hoping that Gilchrist or Jayasuriya fire so the game is high-adrenaline. I think Australia will be too strong for the Sri Lankans, although the game promises to be a great match up.

What was wrong was that, exactly? Four wickets in four balls is indeed known as a double hat-trick, for whatever stupid reasons.

Never heard it referred to as a double hat-trick in all my life. The term itself indicates 6 wickets in 6 wickets so it is weird.

That makes no sense. Although looking it up, your're indeed right.

Me neither.

 

[age_master]

I have, but i dont like it - as you said it implies 6 wickets rather then 4.

 

[Craig]

What is with this defeatist mentality amonst English sports fans?

So tell me why then, if they so utterly hopeless why should they bother turning up?

 

[Loony BoB]

Double hattrick is probably four balls because there are two hattricks in there. That is, officially, two different sets of batsmen, even if two of the batsmen feature in both sets...

So those would be the "whatever stupid reasons"
