Now i think that it was all fixed and something happened that resulted in the Pakistan coach's death. There is no way Ireland could have beaten Pakistan without "help". What do you guys think?

Its simple..Pakistan were made minnows by a now leading team Ireland...he most striking example of power cricket was, of course, the game between Australia and South Africa at Basseterre on Saturday, which was light years ahead of what India had offered the previous day. The batting was brutal and, in Australia's case, a theme right down the order; the fielding was electric, South Africa saving 40-50 runs through their sheer class of ground fielding. The power cricket ran through both teams, as indeed it does through New Zealand as well. One could not picture Pakistan's batsmen or fielders reaching anywhere close to those standards.

I'm from the emerald isle and love and play cricket - I believe it was fixed. Watching the highlights there are some shots attempted by some pakistani batsmen that to me look extremely well 'thought' out - in other words they knew playing a shot a certain way was likely to get them out.
All it can take for a team to throw a match is for just 2 players not to perform, e.g. Hanse Cronje and Hershel Gibbs.

Who cares. It's cricket!!! How come so many people think these ridiculous games are great (like soccer) and the fans and participants all act like hooligans.
Someone needs a spanking.
Everyone should take a lesson from the NFL. When was the last time you heard of a football player getting into trouble?

St. Patrick was with us that day. They could play another 100 games and Ireland would never win again. Luck 'o the Irish!

Why it always has to be controversial when something unexpected happens. It was not impossible for Ireland or Bangladesh to win, it was unexpected but not impossible. But when the strong team looses, why everyone thinks it was fixed? Is it like...whatever the strong team do...neglect or dont care..they still wins the game? They think it was written in the book that always the strong team will win? Come to the reality..this is not mythology.... ps.ya ya.. i know i know.. i will get "bad ans" rate
PS: lol just because I am not supporting INDIA I am getting "bad ans" rate? who ever gave that is certainly dreaming. Come to reality. You dont like being truthful are you?
