Not that we really will, but if we beat the Windies it would set up an Australia/New Zealand semi if Australia get past India. Of course when we lose to the Windies then there could potentially be an Australia vs New Zealand final, that would be a great prospect!

I'm going to support New Zealand for the rest of the tournament. I like them a lot and the much-fancied Sri Lanka are out. Plus, my best mate is a Kiwi.

Of course, a slim possibility is still there. Hoping India may put up a fighting show...

If they don't I fear for the crowds in the rest of the tournament. I can't think of one game which has seen a full attendance other than the India games (correct me if I'm wrong) and the Indian public will not like their team going out one bit.

I'd still like to see an Australia vs New Zealand final (with NZ winning) though!

I'm expecting an Australian/West Indies final. Just my personal opinion...

We have been bad but not as bad as Pakistan today.

Then again there is still time for us.

it felt quite surreal.. i dont think this pitch was so unplayable.. and i think it eased a bit with time or maybe the ball became a lil softer after 20 overs... something happened cuz yasir arafat and umar gul made a partnership of 27 runs!!! thats like a slap to wake the rest of the team up hello!!!

Imran Khan made a very pertinent point about the lack of a properly crafted strategy from Pakistan side. Everyone watching the game knew the optimum importance of initial 10-15 overs. Had a startegy of wisely defencing the early overs been put to application, game would have maintain it's interest for a for long then it actually did. However, as they say HindSight is a pretty sweet word...

No chance Hache, we always win the pointless games (from our perspective anyway).
