Easily. And no PooPs, Pakistan did not make it. Done in by their two traditional enemies: India and Infighting!!
Inzy and Younis Khan? What was that???

And Yuvraj and Dravid too, PooPs. They were the ones who stayed at the wicket and took India to a victory. Of course, Sachin laid the foundation..

Here's something to think about...
Kenya enter the Super Six with 10 points - the most after Australia's 12 - while New Zealand and Zimbabwe carry forward just 4 and 3.5 points respectively.
This means that New Zealand and Zimbabwe both have to win atleast two matches to overtake Kenya. Otherwise, Kenya will progress without a single win in the Super Six. And if Kenya can pull of an upset win, then Zimbabwe and New Zealand have to win all three matches to be on the safer side..
Some equation, eh?

hehe! I didn't even know we had a team. Heck I din't even know what cricket is, really. What the heck is a wicket and a run?
All I know about cricket is that it's ancestor of baseball.
But looking at scorecards on the cricket world cup web site is like reading chineese.

99% of the world feel the same about baseball scorecards Like anything, it's easy when it's your sport.
What is more baffling is how teams like Kenya can enter the final stages with 10pts when several of the top teams are out
Results spoiled by not having rain days in an obvious rainy season, and also teams handed a spot purely on politics, day/night games where the team batting second hasn't a chance etc, have soured the World Cup. The best team will probably win anyway, but the whole thing has still lost credibility. Shame.

Maybe it has, Fuzzy Logic. But in this age, politics IS a part of everything and DOES affect day to day life. How can a game (cricket) be an exception?
Did you know that India played Pakistan after THREE years? Would you believe that neighbours (we share a common border) don't send their teams across to the other side to play in a game? But cricket is a game that arouses such intense passions in the subcontinent, that any action on/off the cricketing field is a statement. Similarly, England and New Zealand made statements by not playing in Zimbabwe and Kenya respectively and paid for it.. It might not be fair, but then is life?

Take on PooPs, not take over..
Though I think we could do that too, if the powers that be don't intervene..

Why would you want to take over that flea bitten dust bowl? Took us years to get rid of the place
