What is this? Two competitive matches in one day? It sure is! We start off with a battle of the minnows that has most impressed during the tournament so far, Ireland and Netherlands. Later we see New Zealand taking on Sri Lanka, a game which is a sign of things to come as we get closer to the play offs.
Yesterday England managed to keep their whirlwind World Cup dreams alive as they beat the West Indies in what turned out to be a close game, that the West Indies managed to lose more than the English winning it.

Did the result not work in your favour?
I got a win and margin point in the 1st game
@Richard Ferguson (Comment 53) : NZ can get that with 3 wickets spare
@Jarson (AddicteD) (Comment 55) :
I thought I was out of the running until they lost late wickets..
Got it spot on luckily
@Jarson (AddicteD) (Comment 56) :
Im hoping for a SL win by as many runs as possible, I have the highest margin, I wanna keep the bonus and all the points to myself..
@Richard Ferguson (Comment 58) : Selfish bastard
I need NZ for the GSP.
Cheating bloody Jayawardena
Come on Marty two toes let’s have you !
@Hertford Highlander (Comment 60) : How did he cheat? Haven’t been paying attention.

He was caught and bowled by Nathan McCullum on about 12…. ridiculous decision !

How are you going so far this weekend with the FL?
I havent had many players taking part today..
I’ll watch Jesse for 6 minutes then i’m off to bed !
@Richard Ferguson (Comment 70) : Ok but only 1 try scorer which was a bit disappointing !
@Hertford Highlander (Comment 71) :
Was about to say, you sure are up late?!
@Richard Ferguson (Comment 70) : Not a great start to the weekend for our run away leader !

@Richard Ferguson (Comment 82) : REALLY don’t want Pak or SL.
@klempie (Comment 85) :
Jeez no thank you..
@Richard Ferguson (Comment 86) : If SL win this, there’s still a big chance we’ll play Pak if they lose to Aus.
@klempie (Comment 87) :
Seriously?!
I havent given the quarter final games any thought..
That could be a bad thing!
NZ 37/2 after 10 overs

@Richard Ferguson (Comment 88) : NZ and Pak are both on 8 points but NZ’s RR is way higher than Pak’s.
@klempie (Comment 90) :
How does it work?
Does 1 in group A play 2 in group B?
@klempie (Comment 90) :
This match could erase the NZ RR if things go as expected..

Close at the top less than 1 point splitting the top 4 and less than 1,8 splitting the top 7.
Expect MANY more changes in the coming days.
K so we want Pak to beat Aus so we can play the Kiwis in the next round.
I’m sneaking in there..
Its going to get tricky from next week!
