is it nearly impossible for them to reach the semis now?

 

[Rob H]

[Rob H]

Massive 6 over the legside by Chanderpaul off Malinga.

 

[Rob H]

What a yorker. That's the one that beat the greatest batsmen. Offstump flying into Brazil. Malinga gets Chanderpaul after a superb innings.

 

[Oxy]

Malinga you beauty!

Yorks Chanderpaul!

Best ball of the tourney!

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Huge problem for the Windies because after this defeat their NRR will be very low and i really think that this is the END of the Windies.

 

[Rob H]

top shot. Full toss banged over Malinga's head for a boundary.

 

[12thMan]

WI cannot lose any more and have to hope one game of SA or NZ vs Ireland is rained off

Murali gets Taylor LBW.

THAT day they played much better cricket... plus let's face it we were clearly the worst of the top 8 teams...heck even Ireland were able to beat us.

 

[Zechariah]

I know its rich coming from a Pak supporter - but HOW THE HELL DID WI BEAT US?????

We were crusing until Inzi and Moyo gave thier wickets away

 

[Oxy]

sANATH TAKES A WICKET

[Oxy]

Apologies for Caps Lock in above post...

 

[12thMan]

I know its rich coming from a Pak supporter - but HOW THE HELL DID WI BEAT US?????

because Pakistan batted poorly. well that is how we lost the match against IRL and gave no competition in SA

 

[PlanetPakistan]

I am very disappointed at WI's performance but oh well at least the players from my fantasy team did well.

I had Lara, Gayle and Powell selected for this game ) ) )

I hate Fantasy Cricket....

 

[the_game]

Sri Lanka = serious contenders. I am happy for them, and I hope they win the Cup.

 

[Phuzz]

West Indies have been poor apart from the first match against us. I know we batted poorly but we had just no luck in the tournament.

..your oxymorons were quite a failure.

 

[the_game]

West Indies have been poor apart from the first match against us. I know we batted poorly but we had just no luck in the tournament.

Selecting two bowlers in your side is not bad luck; it's just nonsensical team selection.

 

[infamous9383]

West Indies 99% out. Ireland,Bangla and England will join them.

 

[Phuzz]

I want England to go through, and Sri Lanka out of it.

 

[shahidrazzaq]

The teams that will pass are the Aussies, Sri Lanka, the Kiwis, and South Africa.
They are the most reasonable.
