    Group A - India, Pakistan, Ireland, Canada, United States

    This will be India + x for qualification. Pakistan won't make it after today as India will inevitably beat them, leaving Pk in the pits.

    Match #11 - USA vs Pakistan - 6th June - Grand Praire Stadium, Dallas- Group A

    Shockingly, it looks the likely result. Never seen such poor batting from a big 8 side.

    Match #11 - USA vs Pakistan - 6th June - Grand Praire Stadium, Dallas- Group A

    Ireland were more pro and better than the USA are when they beat England - many of those lads had FC experience. Zimbo are a test side so nothing with them would be of the same magnitude.

    Match #11 - USA vs Pakistan - 6th June - Grand Praire Stadium, Dallas- Group A

    I called him a trundler in the Eng v Pak series and certain people protested. He is a trundler, a terrible bowler now.

    Match #11 - USA vs Pakistan - 6th June - Grand Praire Stadium, Dallas- Group A

    Pakistan should just pack up and go home. The US look a much better batting line-up, legitimately. This looks like the biggest shock since Kenya bt WI in 1996.

    Players whose reputation during their career was an inaccurate reflection of how good they really were

    In that era those are special numbers. He was a fine bat against true pace, and the 90s had plenty of pace going around.

    Players whose reputation during their career was an inaccurate reflection of how good they really were

    Stewart was an excellent player. IIRC he scored more test runs in the 90s than any other player?

    Players whose reputation during their career was an inaccurate reflection of how good they really were

    This is (a) probably true and (b) a really interesting point. Who you score your runs against is the most important factor, alongside context of the game. I am sure this has been analyzed, but a weighted average should be provided which factors this stuff in. Watching Atherton fight tooth and...

    Am I the only one here who rates Sunil Gavaskar slightly above Viv Richards in Test?

    No. Different folk.

    Am I the only one here who rates Sunil Gavaskar slightly above Viv Richards in Test?

    Certain people grossly overrate some of their icons.

    Players whose reputation during their career was an inaccurate reflection of how good they really were

    Underrated: Atherton His ave of 37 is not reflective of how good he was. Opening in England, in an era that saw incredible bowling stocks globally. Had he played later, he'd average 40+ quite easily. Also mentally very strong and one for the trenches.

    Match #10-- Australia vs Oman (N), Kensington Oval, Barbados, June 5th-- Group C

    Just being there is a win for the associate sides.

    Match #8- India vs Ireland (D)- Nassau County Cricket Stadium, New York- June 5th-- Group A

    Another wicket. This is a comical pitch. My old school had better pitches. #nostalgia

    Match #8- India vs Ireland (D)- Nassau County Cricket Stadium, New York- June 5th-- Group A

    This is obviously a win toss & bowl wicket. 😄

    Am I the only one here who rates Sunil Gavaskar slightly above Viv Richards in Test?

    Viv is far and away the best player I have ever seen. Some youngsters will say X or Y averages 2 more or so on, they display their ignorance and arrogance of youth. Stats ultimately reflect only part of the story - it's the context and the way a man changes a game that matters more. Viv was...

    Match #8- India vs Ireland (D)- Nassau County Cricket Stadium, New York- June 5th-- Group A

    44-5. Well, this was a waste of an afternoon.

    Match #8- India vs Ireland (D)- Nassau County Cricket Stadium, New York- June 5th-- Group A

    To have Pakistan v India here is a shocker from the ICC. Marquee game will be a lottery.

    Match #8- India vs Ireland (D)- Nassau County Cricket Stadium, New York- June 5th-- Group A

    This game is dead on arrival. NY is not a fit ground.

    Match #8- India vs Ireland (D)- Nassau County Cricket Stadium, New York- June 5th-- Group A

    Real swing from Arshdeep. You get a day off, settle down for cricket and it's this muck. Sheesh!

    Match #8- India vs Ireland (D)- Nassau County Cricket Stadium, New York- June 5th-- Group A

    Not fit for T20. It seems clear these US facilities are not up to par.
