the BIGGEST shock in sporting history

Ireland have knocked Pakistan out of crickets world cup.it is undoubtably the biggest shock in sporting history.
for some sort of comparrison it would be like the falkland islands beating Brazil in football or your local school baseball team winning the world series.
unbelievable.
and on st patricks day as well.
the bars in Dublin and Jamaica will be drunk dry tonight.

Cricket smells funny

Really! Good on Ireland
Did anyone see that South African guy hit six sixes in a row? That was awesome

And on a final note: Go the Black Caps!

Bangladesh also beat India too...that was less of a shocker but damn...they have one more match to spare...Tendulkar was out by 8...
Well I guess they played well so they deserve it.

I was watching that. Rafique bowled superbly. I'm waiting on the Australia v. Netherlands game tonight. Smashy, smashy, anyone?

Also England lost to Australia. Giggle!

Silly boy. He'll be regretting that if Flintoff smashes a hundred in an over.

Tee-hee. Six 6s was quite good to watch.

its just been announced that Pakistan coach and former England player Bob Woolmer has died aged 58.
I met him many years ago when i was a lad and watched him play for Kent.he was very polite and gave me his autograph.
he will be sadly missed by everyone who follows the game of cricket.

RIP Bob woolmer

Oh, please. Do you write for a UK tabloid?

Talk about hyperbole...

Hyperbole. Yep, I know that very well. I once hit a cricket ball one million kilometres!

That being said it's rather sad for the Pakistan team to lose against the Irish then their coach. Reminds me of when David Hookes died.

It sure worked!

But back to Pakastain and Ireland, I saw on the news this morning Pakastani's protesting in the streets burning pictures of their cricket team. I can understand if they are gutted for loosing but sheesh, that's over stepping the mark a bit. I feel sorry when the poor team has to arrive home!
That coupled with the death of their coach is not good at all...

Cricket??? :-)

When you talk about "the biggest shock", I expected to read about a sport which is popular in more than three countries in the world...

What sport comes next - yoyo, poi, fire twirling or scooter races?

I happen to be the Scooter Race Champion Of The World, dear sir, and there is NOTHING ridiculous about it!

I'd rather watch paint dry to be honest.
