I think Ireland can cause a major upset, they might beat Pakistan or WI and reach the super 8, would be awesome of they manage to do that.

If Zimb play well then they can beat Pakistan in the pool match, thereby bringing Pakistan's misreable WC to an early end.In my opinion it will be beter for Pakistan to bow out early than to reach the super eight and then lose each and every match in S8, losing to arch rival India would be very humiliating to Pakistan, but then again by now they should be use to it, as its the norm in WC!

I think Ireland can cause a major upset, they might beat Pakistan or WI and reach the super 8, would be awesome of they manage to do that.

So basically according to you Pakistan and WI are so crap that they are unlikely to beat the minnows? Please try to have a little bit of impartiality sometimes?

This is the same team that nearly beat the number 1 side in the world...Anything's possible with Pakistan really and since the Windies had a terrible batting performance against India they're could be a small possibility that Ireland could beat either of these teams espcially Pakistan.

 

[gunner]

why do people think this is the end of the pakistani team just cos we lost shoaib,asif and razzaq?
remember in the icc trophy we were playing without asif,shoaiba dn inzi and still beat lanka and narrowly lost to nz,
if we had inzi instead of razzaq vs nz then we would have won that match,

pakistan is still a good team without these 3 and should be in the top 5 team after the super 8 stage

Fus, remember who you're talking to. That's like asking for The Moon on a plate of cheese in your bedroom.

You are nuts. I don't rate west indies and pakistan anywhere near the smaller teams. Both teams are still better then new zealand, england and srilanka.

Still better than taking to obsessed person who has nothing to do in the world than keep count of the re-births of Ibe/Lbe etc.

Ireland did nearly beat the number one team of the world on a decent track.I think they are capable of causing an upset in the WC, obviously Pak and WI are more likely to beat Ireland, but i won't be shocked to see Ireland beating any of the two side in the pool match

I didn't say I rate WI and Pakistan anywhere near the small teams.And I didn't intend to.I just said that an upset could be possible but not likely.

Afridi is banned for the first match so i think that Imran Nazir will play and open with Hafeez with Akmal down the order. I also think that Mahmood will not play and Kaneria will.

You're more obsessed about the idea of such a thing than I have ever come close to being said thing.

LOL! almost 1/4th of ur post have something to do with ur addiction. Stuffs like "this guy must be binglee, that guy can't be Binglee"..etc... Withdrawal symptoms at their worsts.

Pakistan and WI are the weakest team of the top 8 atm, it will be almost a minnowish battle.WI starts as fav, probably coz of home ground and weakened Pak team, but i expect Pakistan to beat WI in the first match.

Ofcourse if BCL comes up with a magical performance then Wi might even thrash Pak

Dire comment. The West Indies were one of the better ODI teams last year. You don't drop that far that quickly.
