I'm not a huge fan but I've been to a few Pakistan matches. One vs India a couple years ago was a really good match I attended.
I watched the last hr or so of the Pakistan V Ireland match on St Patricks day in the student bar before heading onto a club to celebrate with the Irish.

I don't really follow Cricket but I find the debates amongst my fellow Pakistani, Indian and Bangladeshi classmates hilarious. I know India and Pakistan are very competitive because of their political standings, religion, past experiences, etc. so I was very surprised that Pakistan and India lost to underdog teams. In any extent, they must be better than people thought they were in order to beat them.

Naturally, Im supporting NZ...weve got a pretty strong lineup this time round...plenty of firepower on the batting side of things, and a pretty good bowling attack with the likes of Shane Bond and Daniel Vettori.

Despite their little form slump before the world cup, I'd still put my money on Australia to win. While I'm here, I may as well join the Dwayne Leverock fan club - that guy rocks...that catch he took against was awesome for a man that size.
