Actually I reckon Bermuda can really make a statement here. It may be their only statement over the next month, but better now than never.

These next games are actually a pretty good match-up on paper.

Hey, I just scored my half century.

Agree with Michael, thanks to Laverocck, I’ve overnight become a massive Bermuda fan, and hope they win against Zimbabwe.

Bangladesh and Scotland should be interesting, as will be the Canada-Ireland match, Canada bowled quite decently against Pakistan the other day, and fielded well too, it was just their batting that let them down. That match could go down the wire.

Bangladesh two down early.
Zimbabwe two down early.
Ireland two down relatively early.

This could be a fun finish!

Virendra Sehwag should be dropped from all frms of cricket. He is such a big loser.

I’ve never liked Sehwag because he is such a sloppy batsman, but that is pretty harsh!
