Reply 1911. DB makes me think Darloboy but I doubt that. Flamin' Mongrel is another shout but I don't think he follows league.

Nothing to do with me guv.

Well I'll automatically go to my second team (and default PROPER team) South Africa.

Wait, this is cricket and Holland actually beat England?

Yes, yes we did.

I am going to be honest guys...... I am the db that posted on that rugby league site. Do you want me to credit you.

Naw, it's cool I was kidding about the credit

[The Future]

I am hoping Bangladesh pulls off their token underdog run

Though Netherlands look like they want to steal that tag from us, LEAVE!

[db07]

I didn't realise there were so many other aussies on here, so i thought I would get away with it.

[EddieG]

Tut tut, naughty DB lol.

haha, no probs. Just found it weird to see the same banner pop up on a totally unrelated board.

Well New Zealand raped Scotland and Bangladesh gave India a decent fight before losing by 25 runs.

So whose EWB predicting to go all the way?

[SwantonEdge]

I'm picking either South Africa or New Zealand.

Hopefully Sri Lanka upset the Aussies and send them home

Sri Lanka are many critic's pick to win the tournament so I don't think it would be that big of an upset...

[Mongrel]

Yeah. Any batting lineup with Jayasuriya, Sangakkara and Dilshan in it in this format is always going to be dangerous. Plus there's the Mendis effect that the Aussies haven't faced yet.

I'd not be surprised if we won, but I'm not expecting us to.

[EddieG]

Holland of course.

Sri Lanka are a good team, but I wouldn't put them anywhere near favorites to be honest. Semi-finals at a stretch.

[EddieG]

So.. Holland have to beat Pakistan to go through?

[Matt]

I dunno cos that'd be 2-2-2 in points, so I have no idea what'd happen.

Edit: It's done and net run rate, so I guess you could still lose and go through.

Pakistan have to win by about 46 runs to go through so the Netherlands could still lose and go through.

Pakistan have no form right now and a badly balanced team with awful fielding. I fancy Netherlands to lose but still go through with England which would mean England going through top of the group even after that defeat.

[EddieG]

Wouldn't it be awesome if we beat Pakistan.

[hackerjack]

Holland don't have to win, it works out that Pakistan have to win by 40-odd runs or with 3-4 overs to spare to go through I think. Personally I think they might struggle as the Dutch are not a bad team.

[hugobomb]

Ireland are giving Bangledesh a real game here

[Dan]

C'mon Ireland!

And we should really want Pakistan to beat Holland and go through, as our points will carry if Pakistan go through.

Though Holland winning the whole thing would be awesome >_>
