A super 8 that was pre dertermined before the competition started but has since been screwed by certain teams crashing out

enjoyed the sri lanka win for a couple of reasons
1, not long ago they were nearly taken out in a terrorist attack
2, the aussies admitted to laughing after our defeat to holland so permit me to have a laugh at their expense tonight - the swan and rushes is a decent pub in leicester lads

Brilliant format.

One of Ireland or Bangladesh was bound to go through while one of Australia, Sri Lanka or the Windies was bound to go out.

You'd have thought the ICC would have learnt from the way the 50 over world cup turned into a damp squib, with a boring not so super 8, but obviously not.

The West Indies weren't a seeded team. They didn't win a game in the last tournament in SA, hence they were in a group with two seeded teams - Sri Lanka and Australia. Bangladesh got the last seeded spot after their display in the last tournament.

A fortnight in Leicester. What a price to pay for dismal failure.

No doubt one or two counties will offer them warm up matches.
