Personally I don’t think there will be any upsets this time around.

Previous upsets:
Zimbabwe beat Australia by 13 runs (1983)
Kenya beat West Indies by 73 runs (1996)
Bangladesh beat Pakistan by 62 runs (1999)
Zimbabwe beat South Africa by 48 runs (1999)
Kenya beat SriLanka by 53 runs (2003)

Kenya...They have few good one day players like Tikolo, Odoyo and Shah.

Bangladesh too is capable of winning against big teams!

Re: Which minnow if any will cause the shock of the world cup?

If there is one team that I would rate as capable of producing an upset, it would be Bangladesh. They have really learned their lessons over the years and are definitely a team that should not be underestimated.

^ yep.
Bang vs. India. India better watch out for an upset from the Bengal Tigers. Also Kenya most definitely. England and NZ be careful.

Also, Canada should be watched from a pure game perspective as well.

Re: Which minnow if any will cause the shock of the world cup?

My bet is on Ireland they have players (many) from aussies domestic circuit (if you read their profiles). they can beat any team in their pool (Pakistan, WI and Zim) which is a worry sum sign, anyone look at their chase against SA lately :bummer:

Kenya is gonna defeat England!

Re: Which minnow if any will cause the shock of the world cup?

I think India has very balanced team this time and they might upset SriLanka or even Bangladesh if their openers (gangu and Sehwag) play well.

Re: Which minnow if any will cause the shock of the world cup?

upset is when a lower ranked team beats higher ranked. In other words upset wud be if bang beat ind, not if ind beat bang.
