8 days in,and NZ have still only played 1 match. Most teams have played 3.
Possibly, our tournament hopes may be extinguished by day 9 anyway. First 2 games are v the group top seeds.
What a stupid draw.
ah, having India Pakistan early was brave too. That's one of the biggest matchups in world sport, full stop.

There is a an even number of teams in the draw isn't there? No reason why one team should have played one game while others have played 3. I meant the match schedule is stupid

India and New Zealand out to renew recent rivalry

I was very fortunate to pick up a last minute ticket for this match and I must say that it was a complete anticlimax - one of most beautiful anticlimaxes ever in fact. I’ve never felt more serene watching the BCs play it was really quite weird. Best part was watching about 10k Indian fans all up and leave simultaneously once we got to about 65/1.

Got up this morning expecting to read that we'd lost and to complain about how unengaging this tournament has been.
A weird draw that pitted the big teams against one another immediately - well with about a week between the games - but no minnows in between. And our games at an unwatchable 3am.
Not that anyone would have listened.
Maybe the ICC will listen to a billion Indian fans though and pay a bit more attention to running a decent tournament in future.
Who would have thought it?
We won't have three trophies in the cabinet whatever happens, but it's looking like we've sunk the might of India in all three tournaments!

Wow, just amazed we got up and won this morning. We may not have the ODI WC, but we do have the MODIWC (the lesser known moral world cup; won traditionally by minnows and teams that 'shoulda').
In this case I'll take it though.
We seem to have teh wood on India mentally, and I'm not sure how we managed it, but I'll take it. Need to sneak into the semi, and then have two good games ... we're a starters chance.
Really impressed with this side doing this. I still think HEsson is a miles better coach, but Stead has rocked up and grabbed the glory!
