Minnows make headlines at Worldcup

Is it a mere con-incidence or lack of application from India and Pakistan against minnows Bangladesh (yes, they are still a minnow) and Ireland respectively.

After winning the toss, India were bowled out for 191 in 49.3 overs against Bangladesh. In the other game between Pakistan and Ireland, Pakistan were bowled out for 132 in 45.4 overs thanks to excellent Ireland's excellent bowling.

It was just a day ago, questions were raised against the inclusion of minnows to the World cup when South Africa hammered Netherlands and records tumbled with Herschelle Gibbs scoring 6 consecutive sixes in an over. Today, its reversal of fortunes and its time for the big guns to be on the receiving end. Both the games for India and pakistan are still half way through (as I write this post) and no matter what the results are at the end of the game, Bangladesh and Ireland have already made headlines for tommorrow's newspaper.
