- AnonymousSince we lost the smei-finals in 1987 against England I have lost my ability to be sure with India. They did it again in 1996 when they lost to Sri Lanka. People even postponed minor exams during that period hoping that India will reach the finals. This time I am trying not be be too confident with the India team.

But you are right. There is no telling with India. Absolutely anything can happen. :~

One of the things I have been thinking is whether Zim lost delibrately to allow their friend Kenya to go to SF. Kenya and Zimbabwe are no friends! Just because they come from the same continent doesn't really mean we are 'friends'. <rant> One of the things that irks me the most is after talking to so many indians here (not on CP, but at work) is that most of them are so reluctant to give Kenya any credit for their wins. One of my friendcolleague claims (without any proof ofcourse) that the SL V kenya game was fixed, without even thinking rationally why SL would throw that game (pre Super 6 game). Let me ask you this, if Kenya had lost to Zim (as most of you expected) would the 'thought' that Kenya lost to their 'friends' Zim to keep their (zim's) SF hopes alive have entered your mind?? </rant>
I said the same thing about Ind-SL game too. I don't mean to take away the credit from Kenyans. The way SL's top batsmen got out (in both the matches), it was very suspicious. If I remember correctly, they were one of the favorites. It is sad that we are thinking like that! Kavitha

If a good team loses, hey they lost. If there is an upset, good! Maybe we should just sit back and enjoy the game a little more. Jignesh

I guess the match-fixing scandal didn't affect you, that's good! Unfortunately, I don't have the same faith in game as I used to. Kavitha

The Kenyans were never involved in any scandals (atleast to my knowledge) and I hope they never are. I guess I started ranting because some comments made about Kenya, implied that they too are involved in some fixing. Jignesh
