I guess the English now know what it feels like to be a Pakistani fan, and by the way welcome to the club, it was getting quite lonely here being the only team to have lost to the Irish 
I guess Ejaz Butt was right afterall

England's performance against India was actually a bad day considering the Banglas scored 280-oddGo Ireland!!! Lol England!!!
I said it before... It was a good day for England and a bad day for India and still it was only a tie!!! England gotta pick up their socks...
But they could well do a Pakistan of 1992.. I see, a lot of you here are already calling them the new Pakistan..

Whatever it takes!!!
lol.. we will see later, my friend.. I am pretty confident that the Indian bowling side definitely took it somewhat easy out there at certain stages... And trust me, it was a bad day for India in the field... Future will see who is right..

It seemed to be that way, but still, to hit the ball that hard, that often and not sky one, or get caught is pretty remarkable because as we all know it doesn't take a great delivery to get a wicket.

It was a good day for our batting and a bad day for out bowling, I think.Go Ireland!!! Lol England!!!

It was, very good batting display,ordinary bowling and terrible fielding, pretty much the same as this game.

I am not really sure though.. coz it is the top 4 who seem to be scoring all the runs.. And they may fail at some point..
I juz think England are a LOT better than they have shown themselves to be in this WC so far..

CW has some very intelligent posters/predictors, that's whyHow have Ireland got more votes than England ?
Haha, but on a serious note, I think this is the first poll CW has got right.

Did Dhoni bat second dig did he? No. So he can STFU, making excuses for his team's piss poor defence.
I'd be embarassed if I heard Strauss saying that tonight.

Well before the WC the 2 areas I wouldn't have had to many worries about, is the fielding and the bowling, but as we've seen it's the batting that has been very good .The fielding especially, is hard to get my head around, before this WC I'd have said, they were one of the best fielding sides around, but god knows what's happened. The bowling is a worry because they've bowled well as a unit for about 2 years and all of a sudden they are struggling to get the right line & lengths when it's needed, especially the last 20 overs. I still think that they will click and show what they can do, but they have to pull their fingers out and make sure there's no more of this.

Forgive me if I sound bitter/rude but Bit OTT, one feels. Captains make excuses such as saying the pitch became flatter or the dew came in all the time. Don't see the reason for so much anger. He mentioned it in passing too, It's not like he said "The English batting is a joke and they could only hit 338 because the ball came on easier'. His statement was something like 'the ball was coming on slightly easier to the bat in the second Innings' while praising the English batting much much more. Fair 'nuff if you want to criticize that one statement in passing that much, I guess.
