I was one of the crazy folks who had subscribed to the cricket channel at a monthly fee of 25 dollars. Now with the WC getting charged at 100SGD, I decided enough is enough. With all the matches happening in the Carribean, where the time difference is about 12 hours, it is probably the best decision that I have taken. The WC has started and the so called minnows have risen up to the occasion. The Goliaths of the world India and Pakistan have taken their worst defeats of the WC against Bangladesh and Ireland respectively. Holding has been made to eat his own words by the Sub continent giants.
I did not see the match, but the mode of dismissals seem to be all too familiar.Barring Dada (though his innings was slow) and Yuvi, no one played a decent knock. Same could be said of Pak also. Will these two teams qualify for the second round ? India's chances are fair but Pak's chances are very slim. For Pak to qualify, Windies should lose to Zimbabwe & Ireland, and Pak should Zimbabwe convincingly. If that happens, Pak has a remote chance of entering the next round alongwith Ireland. Very unlikely though. For India, they shoul beat Bermuda and SriLanka. Both of these seem himalayan task now. Can this team pull this ?
Thanks to Pavendran, I got to see 11 commercials which have some real good music. Enjoy.

Correction. If Windies and Pak each have one victory each, since Windies have beaten Pak, WI enter the next round. Net, Pak are out of the WC.
na na..in the first stage, if 2 teams have the same points then net run rate is the deciding factor.
but nonetheless..if WI loses to Ireland and Zimbabwe then Ireland and Zimbabwe will go to the next round..so Pak is definitely out.
I hope these wins serve as an impetus for cricket becoming more popular in these cricket minnows.
