Don't know if WoC Pakistan or RL Pakistan.

 

[CerealKiller]

Gutting to lose this way, but we did remarkably well to be among the top 8 ODI teams in the world, considering where we were just a year ago. Very proud of this team, and it was a really fun tournament

 

[Paranoid Kendroid]

Our first 10 wicket win in an ODI and what a time to get it. Phenomenal stuff against such an in-form dangerous Pakistan side. I had predicted us reaching the semis so whatever happens next will just be added bonus.

Sad for Pakistan fans... They need to buy new TV now...

Would be something if NIUE wins the World Cup. A country whose name I can't even pronounce right.

 

[Paranoid Kendroid]

Same team. Fingers crossed against perhaps the strongest side in WoC.

Would be funny if we will have a rematch with Niue in the WC final.

 

[ahmedleo414]

Same team just replace Peter with Singh

14 days and counting. I think WCC world cup will outlast the real life t20 wc (29 days).

Odi wc ran for 45 days, seems unlikely.

I was wrong. Counting from Jun 22, when you asked for lineups for first round, we will be going above 45 days easily.

WoC World Cup >>>> real-life World Cup
