Group B (Sri Lanka, India, Bangladesh, Bermuda)

So, India out of the competition! I am wondering what a specific poster on the forum is doing now after making a thread 'India winning the world cup....why?' I didn't expect them to go this early but I always told myself they didn't have what it takes to win a final in the West Indies. Their batting of Uthappa and Dhoni don't suit the pitches of the caribbean. I felt that the little master should have opened as he did for a good while in his career and in which he had a lot of success!

shut it you idiot, one more comment like that and you're gone

Oh and as for SL lion's comment.....I wont even bother responding.

yeah.......oh well India better start packing then. But it would be VERY interesting if Bermuda beat Bangladesh. However, I won't want that to happen......because I am supporting Bangladesh!!!After their victory over India, I will say that they can DEFINATELY beat Bermuda. They really have confidence and determination.

you reckon?

India players and staff had never expected and even dream of watching the remaining 5 weeks of the worldcup on tv, but it's gonna happen.

The last sentence was un-necessary I thought, but the others reflect what happens in sub-continent.

Well I am not surprised really .The Indians failed to deliver when it mattered most although the bowlers did a commendable job .The extras cost India as well and its something the coach (whoever it is ) will have to look after .Ganguly and Tendulkar failed again when the team needed them most and I guess its the last match Robin Uthappa has played in his International Career .

LOL Its all over for us indians. I'm really disappointed
but i'm looking forward to todays match between Australia
and SA.

Sri Lanka are looking very good at the moment and the big show Aus  v Saf tonight will give us a very good idea of what may be what.
The one downside to the Sri Lanka is that the win that they carry forward to the Super 8's will be against the Bangers, who most sides will have a good chance of beating. The same with the Windies. NZ and whoever wins tomorrows big match will be in a very, very strong position.

Uthappa will play. He is a one of the best flat track bullies. 2. Kumble will be out of ODIs. Let him pay tests. He would have been taken apart if he bowled to Sri Lankans. He was taken apart by Sri Lankans in the past even in his prime. 3. Pathan sucks. 10-0-75-0 would have been his figures if he statred instead of Zaheer.

Well it's not surprising that the people in India have started to express their anger for the Indian team. India should have definately been able to make it to the super8 as well as Pak. Did anyone predict them not making it to that stage??? The lose against Sri Lanka was still acceptable in a way because they were playing against worthy opposition but they should never have let Bangladesh beat them. Anyway what's done can't be undone so if Bermuda does not beat Bangladesh then they Indians will have to go on and the competition will have to continue without two of the Asian teams that we expected to advance to the other stage of the competition.

The Indian team don't have the guts to kill their coach and I'm sure that a Pakistani player did not kill the coach. Maybe some bookie. But Chappell is safe enough and some of my friends are saying that he is happy that we lost because he is taking 10 million dollars or something. . He just should not go to India now. Straight to Australia to be safe from direct abuse.

Originally posted by daisy77 Just keep the hope alive......Hey maybe those Indian batsmen could give the Bermudans some lessons and who knows maybe even the bowlers like Agarkar and Kumble could give the inexperienced Bermudan bowlers some hints.

If Indian bowlers give tips to Bermuda, Bermuda will lose!
