[WORLD CUP] Super Sixes decided!

[Eternalknight]

From Pool A:
Australia
India
Zimbabwe

From Pool B:
Sri Lanka
Kenya
New Zealand

Well... the host nation (South Africa) out, a minnow (Kenya) in, and another surprise in Zimbabwe... what an interesting World Cup!

 

[Eternalknight]

Bit of a bump for those who might not have seen it.

 

[FreeTheSlaves]

Whoop whoop New Zealand!

 

[MerricB]

Go Kenya!

If New Zealand lose to both India and Australia (not beyond the realms of possibility), Kenya will advance to the Semi-finals!

Go Kenya!

Cheers!

Just noticed that myself. If Kenya can win against Zimbabwe, it all but cements them in the semi finals.

The only thing I disagree with is I think Sril Lanka will be the stronger side against India, therefore leading to an Australia v Sri Lanka final. Still, this is going to do wonders for Kenyan cricket, especially if they can win a game during the super sixes. Anyone think they should be given test status yet?

 

[MerricB]

Probably not - but I'm yet to see them play.

Admitting them to a regular ODI tour would be good, though.

I'm just looking forward to the Australia vs. Bangladesh Tests later this year.

Cheers!
