RE:RE:Would Sri Lanka prefer India or Bangladesh in the Super 8's?
by Cricket Lover on Mar 22, 2007 09:50 PM

Point taken. My entire agenda while writing this particular piece was that people realise the difference between 'making the World Cup interesting' and 'winning the World Cup'.
For me and millions of cricket lovers, we would like India to get to the Super 8's since then the matches would become competitive and interesting. The Sri Lankan team (a mere 15-20 people) would like nothing more than the Super 8's to look like Zim, Ire, Ned, Sco, Ban, Can, Ken and SL since they want to WIN THE WORLD CUP (like all other teams).
If we confuse our interests with those of the Sri Lankan team then we land up with logic like 'SL would want Ind in Super 8 since they want the SF spots as open as possible'.
Of course, if you still feel that 'Kichadi paka di', please read the last lines of my post. That should present the clearest picture.
