A second upset on a single day. Ireland's grit got the better of a certain bunch of Pakistani cricketers. Sad for the World Cup stakes to see such an exciting team already headed home. Minnows alright, but winning the toss is becoming a huge advantage. I bet if this were in the subcontinent there would have been a big hue and cry over the pitches. But all's very fair and good for cricket when it happens outside of our place!!
Feel terribly agrieved that a player of Inzamam's stature took his last bow from World Cups in such a way. His exit has been as incredible as his entry was in '92. He deserved better but alas. Agree, all the conditions against them but Pakistan were poor like India were on the same day. And, you can't make two mistakes in such an early stage of the tournament.
Ireland showed a lot of grit and fantastic captaincy. They held their nerves, and cricket will only be richer with the spirit they showed yesterday. Looks like they have some decent players too. Super 8's will be richer with all the colors they bring in to the game. And it all looks much better with the pretty girls that follow them. I hope they keep winning ;)
