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.
oh yes sri lanka vs. england was also a very interesting match, tense finish once again. but in terms of cricket i think england vs. windies was better.
Pakistan vs Ireland!
as a neutral, must have been a great site Ireland beating Pakistan, the last 5 overs were excellent, Ireland coasting then Rao Ifthiqar on a hatrick then Ireland barely coasting home.
Ireland vs Zimbabwe
England vs West Indies
England vs Sri lanka
Sri Lanka vs South Africa
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 . 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.
