Quiet start for Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka 19/0 (5.0 ov)

Irish are giving South Africa tough time

South Africa 56/3 (11.0 ov)

[Mridul]

watch out for ireland.....if ireland can restrict south africa within 230-240....Ireland has the ability to beat South Africa

[Miraz]

South Africa at dire situation.

South Africa 57/4 (14.0 ov

[Sovik]

south africa is having a hard time against ireland

[Mridul]

Go Ireland Go....they are my 2nd favourite team in this World Cup

I hope we can beat NZ in the warmup match. However, every BD good show is followed by a few bad-shows. In such a case, beating India is of ultimate importance.

[Miraz]

South Africa gonna win the world Cup ???

Worst possible start of the campaign..

South Africa 64/5 (15.4 ov)

[Mridul]

South Africa 68/7

The match is being played at Trinidad, the same ground where Bangladesh played the tri-series.

[Spitfire_x86]

OMG!! 66/7 against Ireland???

At least they still have Boucher and Hall. Bangladesh would be dead by now.

[Mridul]

I just saw the Bermuda's heavy weight spinner bowling....3-0-6-2. His last ball spun a lot and Dalrymple had no clue. And the bowler is Slow Left Arm bowler!!!

[babubangla]

Dwayne Leverock

Bermuda's 280 pound (127 kg) left arm spinner Dwayne Leverock is on fire!!!
He dismissed Paul Collingwood and Kevin Peterson within his first 3 overs!!

Leverock: 4 Over- 7 Runs- 2 Wickets

[bengaltiger]

74/7 SA 21 overs--cricinfo

i hope ireland can pull this off :fingers-crosses:

[bengaltiger]

[bengaltiger]

91/8 SA 24 overs!!

I wonder if those teams are really playing at their best...?!?!

[tonoy]

i hope bermuda beats england

[tonoy]

i dont care if they dont play their best. thats poor sportsmanship anyways. but a lose is a lose and imagine the hyp that it will build up.

[tonoy]

whats happening to the lankans? I see no update on theirs yet.

[Kabir]

Okay, hangon. Wait a minute. Can everyone hold off until the matches are over, and then send emails to ICC? Apparently, their super-8 stage schedule is wrong.
