Sorry minnows!
The fact that ICC had incorporated 16 teams for this year's WC infuriated me terribly, last year. After seeing the draw, I had come to the opinion that the real tournament would begin only from the Super 8 stage when the top 8 teams would be pitted against each other.
However, Pakistan's shocking loss to Ireland & the Bangladeshi win against an extremely fickle India has force me to eat my words! I owe the minnows a huge apology. Not only is one definitely going through to the next stage, Bangladesh is also threatening to dash the hopes of the blue billion! The word Blue could take on a completely different shade if Sri Lanka puts it across India!
As someone said, "Keep your words soft as you never know when you may have to eat them!"
Lesson learnt...

well said. Ireland are going to be in super 8s and Bang have a fair chance too. India thrashed Bermuda today, but if Murali bowls really well on friday....India better watch out!
Yeah man...Although I don't see the minnows making a real dent now onwards...
