Is it numbnuts or numnuts?

After all, it's numskulls. Not numbskulls.

Zims facing a bit of an uphill struggle here.

Like, Sisyphus eat your heart out, fella.

And sometimes it's nice to num the area.

btw: How are they going to choose the 10th team for the next quadrennial tourney?

Are they going to take the winner of a knockout between the Associate Nations?

Circle jerk. Massive, highly-populated circle jerk. The biscuit will be massive.

Oh dear.

Joyzus, interesting Lankan scoreline. 0-282 to 6-308. Shocked

And Bots making a reasonable fist of the chase.

by PeterCS Thu 10 Mar 2011, 15:02

3-136? Not really. They will fold like a pair of folding shoes on FB.

"Not numbskulls."

I thought it was numbskulls.

4/62 off 7 overs ... are those good figures or crappy?

by OP Tipping Thu 10 Mar 2011, 15:35

Hmmm, this won't last long. They were looking pretty good at 0/115 off 19.4 overs.

Aye. The Bots promptly lost 6 wickets after I made my optimistic remark. Ugh. Mad

by Batman Thu 10 Mar 2011, 16:12

MuMu benefits from cheap minnow wickets yet again.

by PlanetPakistan Thu 10 Mar 2011, 16:45

Shame to see ZIM lose like this

I think Pakistan will win this group with SL second, AUS third and NZ 4th.

I've never played, so correct me if I'm wrong, but surely that particular game picks a loser, not a winner doesn't it? They'd have to play it repeatedly to eliminate them one by one till only one team was left.

I believe you have given that far too much thought

by PeterCS Thu 10 Mar 2011, 21:42

Thus spake Fappathrusta ...

by OP Tipping Thu 10 Mar 2011, 21:49

So Sri Lanka is the first team to qualify for the QFs

by beamer Thu 10 Mar 2011, 22:42

Going back to the actual answer to the earlier question, there are 10 full members (including Zimbabwe as such), however they won't all get automatic places, I believe the lowest ranked 3 or 4 will have to go through qualifying alongside the associates for the next World Cup. No doubt the format will make sure the minnows need a miraculous series of results to get in though.

Farqin LOL @ Tillakaratne Dilshan: 3-1-4-4.

by skully Fri 11 Mar 2011, 00:30

Swab him, or the Bots.

by G.Wood Fri 11 Mar 2011, 01:03

at least they are 4 wickets the CBER did not get

by skully Fri 11 Mar 2011, 04:39

Hmm, Crystal's out with a gut strain. That has to help the Paddies cause. Ganjas currently 0-22 off 9.

by Henry Fri 11 Mar 2011, 05:43

Surely England will drop Yardy for Collingwood?

by The One Fri 11 Mar 2011, 05:47

turgid stuff from the windies. seems like a slow pitch

by skully Fri 11 Mar 2011, 05:51

Coupla quick wickets for the Paddies.
