Bidhan40 you are totally astray on this matter Yes your England may have reached the 2nd round ..wow..wow what an achievement haha..i know how it felt wen yu guys got kicked out of the last world cup To come to the point , my favorite team is Australia, they too reached the second round winning very easy games..now in the super eight stage i wanted them to play games that would atleast give them some sort of contest...that surely has not come from bangladesh and ireland so far I am not taking anything away from Bangladesh and Kenya here, beacuse they did get to the 2nd stage by their own genuine effort...al i am saying is that i would rather have india and pakistan in the super eight stage as a spectator and even as a gr8 fan of australian cricket i would surely love to watch Australia beat India by any margin than seeing an incompetent affair where Bangladesh get trounced by 10(yes10) wickets I know yu are a big fan of england who loves to watch england play and thrash weaker nations and bark around with a long nose. all in all ..this world cup has certainly become dull, without india and pakistan ..in the super eight stage wherin cut throat affair was expected among the eight sides to proceed to the semifinals it has become a six sided affair..or lets say an affair wherein SA, AUS, NZ and ENG have a clearcut one game advantage over SRI and WI cuz the former group plays both BAN and IRE
