Apparently 14 runs were needed from the last two overs with 4 wickets in hand, so possibly should have won really.

watching it on twitter last night as couldnt sleep thought we were going to win and you right Cove they should have won, but still an outstanding effort,Batsman look in good touch and fingers crossed we win our first World Cup game

Ireland beat Bangladesh today.

Don't know if people are aware but this is the last time there will be sixteen teams in the world cup. Only ten next time. Absolute disgrace but effectively they're rigging it so they get the big TV draws ( I.e. India and England) in the final stages.

So instead of six associate countries, the six go into a playoff against the bottom two test nations. I think they thought it'd guarantee no associates but they may have a shock coming.

Of the associates do well this time they may have to reconsider but I don't the ICC will, even if it was an Ireland v Scotland final.

the fact that Bangladesh are a given test status is a disgrace to be honest. They are an abysmal team.

Cracking game this morning.

India - Pakistan has a brilliant atmosphere...it's like a football game.

massive match.Expected that over one billion will be watching this game on TV. Don't think Pakistan have ever beaten India in the ODI World Cup.
