Best match in World Cup 2007?

What do you think was the best match during this World Cup?

Situation-wise, it was very interesting to see Pakistan going out to Ireland, and of course India being whipped up by Bangladesh. In terms of cricket and atmosphere, I think the best match would have to be West Indies vs. England, the last Super Eight match. The highest attendance during this World Cup was made at this match (almost a full house)… great atmosphere, great cricket, extremely tense finish, Duncan Fletcher’s last match, and last - but definitely not least - Lara’s last match (the main reason for the high attendance). Although it wasn’t a “Lara show,” but the crowd was deservingly treated to a great match - and Lara’s purpose of entertaining the crowd was also satisfied.

Hey, why didn’t anyone mention India vs. Bangladesh? India were outclassed by a group of teenagers during that match and did anyone see Tamim Iqbal’s strokes. It looked like he had been training the ball :hehe:. Yes, Ireland vs. Pakistan was another such match where some nooby gora Associate beat out the No. 4 ODI team… awesome catch by Trent Johnston to dismiss Kamran Akmal though.

People, people, people, only one vote? This last-ball thriller kicked off the World Cup, although not to a most thrilling start, but it got people talking. Boy, what a match and comedic run-outs at the end. Two unknown teams beating the strawberries out of each other. Highly entertaining.

SA & Sri Lanka

That Malingas four ball magic ---he brought the match from nowhere.
Only that day it became a law that Cricket is the most un-predictable game.
