Or five, to be a bit more precise.

 

[Skater]

Yeah, i thought of that after I'd posted it, I didn't count the 1st day.

Well fans don't have to hope for a double upset not to happen to see their India-Pakistan cricket this time around.

Hoorah!

I've already got my flags, and my voice ready for the "Pakistan ZINDABAD!" chants

Is it the top two or only the top team that makes it out of group play?

2 I believe

Very entertaining to watch. I hope most of the matches are picked up by Foxtel

Evidently top 2 from each group go into next round which is divided into two groups that have round-robin play. Then semifinals and then finals.

Well to be fair Scotland did all they needed to qualify, Ireland didn't. People might argue that Ireland are the better team but they didn't do enough to get there.

Why is it outrageous? Scotland qualified, Ireland didn't.
