2015 Cricket World Cup Discussion Thread

Tight finish coming up Ireland require 95 of 10 overs with 5 wickets remaining. Toss of the Coin.

[Nige]

This is going down to the wire.

12 runs needed, 15 balls left, 2 wickets in hand.

[Bill Manspeaker]

that was good to watch

[My Chumps]

Switched off for a bit when Ireland went 4 down. Came back when they needed about 80 from 50 and it was a stellar finish!

That is ridiculous

Nice win Ireland, shame we won't see them next World Cup because of the stupid ICC

we still might. They could make the top ten?

I'll be disappointed we won't be seeing the UAE next WC. :P

[AFEV]

Frickin ICC.
Claims less teams means greater competitiveness.

The only remotely competitive games so far have involved associate teams.

So - We will be having a world cup, when even less of the world is competing than this world cup? Now it may be just me but that just doesn't seem right. We may as we call our summer cricket season a world cup if 2 " world class" teams compete here.  :-\

[Nige]

Yeah, it doesn't make much sense but unfortunately...

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

And yeah, as PB said, it's a shame. Ireland and Afghanistan would have to make up 11 and 13 points respectively to move ahead of Zimbabwe in the current rankings, I don't see that happening.

[RiOtChEsS]

yeah that match last night was exciting 8)

[henry]

Got a multi Afghanistan into Bangladesh today, let's see how they go

[Bill Manspeaker]
