I would like to dismiss the notion that Bangladesh would cause another upset.

History suggests that in all of the previous world cups whenever a minnow team defeated an A listed team, rest of the teams became MORE cautious when it was their turn to face the minnow team and thats going to happen again.

Agreed BD is much better now but I feel SL and INDIA would not take BD for granted thx to the kiwis. Dont think BD is in for another surprise and IND and SL would sail through without losing to BD

But ...its definitely a very strong answer given by Kenya , Ireland , Bermuda and BD to what micheal holding said before the start of the world cup

If there is a minnow that can cause a big upset , it can be Kenya. Dont think any of the minnows would make it to the SUPER 8s. No minnow would come out big in near future ( say in next 2 world cups)...Thx to ICC's way of promoting the game. Cricket can be a global hit only thru 20-20 format
