Likely quarter final match ups

[morgieb]

Bangladesh will play SA instead of India if they win this. Why will Bangla want that!

South Africa are ****ing over-rated.

 

[Flem274*]

india are a better bangladesh

 

[ankitj]

If, and that's a huge ****ing if, Pakistan makes it to the Semis, I would LOVE for us to face India. All the other WC encounters between the two teams was dress rehearsal. I'm pretty sure the ICC doesn't even give them official match status. Only the next one counts. WE SHALL HAVE OUR REVENGE!!

You have nothing to lose ****.

No slip for the best bowler

So India vs Bangladesh in Melbourne on 19th.

 

[Flem274*]

will be an easy win for bangladesh

 

[Adders]

GTFO........no room for you on the Banga bus Flem

Ghosts of 2007 will definitely haunt the Indian team.

 

[cricman]

Toss to play a big role in the Bangladesh/India QF. I'd back either side to chase down anything under 315.

nah I think India's bowlers wont leak that many tbh and their batsmen will just knock off whatver is et for them anyway..cant see Bangla going any further, which is a shame as i think they have played some really entertaining cricket this tournament..

Not been easy to chase so far at all at Melbourne particularly.

I won't fancy either to chase down 315.

 

[Jono]

Yeah **** you South Africa. You're not winning your first ever world cup knock out against Bangladesh.

 

[Bahnz]

I think Bangladesh will get flattened in the qf. Their problem is that they're a similar team to India in many respects, but India are just better in every department. At least against SA, if they'd gotten a slowish wicket they'd have had a decent chance of strangling them with their spinners.

So the only remaining question is whether Pakistan can yo-yo themselves out of the WC against Ireland.

West Indies will have to beat UAE by a biggish margin too for that to happen.

Interestingly, WI-UAE game will start 5.5 hours before PAK-IRE game. So each team will know what to hope for for their qualification by the time latter game starts.

What was the cw meme about the bus and the Indian team? Can't recall.

 

[ankitj]

^ You missed the bus.

Yeah this. Case of little brother vs. big brother in that respect.

 

[harsh.ag]

South Africa vs Sri Lanka easily the most intriguing QF. First batters should win etc. Hope its close.

Yeah..

South Africa vs Sri Lanka can be very interesting. The two teams haven't met before in a world cup knock out. Something tells me it will be the most interesting quarter final. If SA don't do the classic choke, of course
