Wickman's World Cup Catch Up

Wickman has, the in wake of yesterday's rank capitulation, been thanking his lucky stars. At the same time his rash prediction that India would make the QFs still haunts him. And what a haunting. Just imagine if Bangladesh and Ireland hadn't made the Super 8s? What would have happened to England's merry men then? 7 straight super drubbings? You'd have to to think so the way we've played the rest of the tourney. If Pakistan had made the Super 8s, in the absence of any concrete evidence of whether / why Bob Woolmer was murdered, you could speculate that he'd still be alive too. Which would mean he'd be able to take over the England job in time for the West Indies coming over in a couple of weeks. Ah the merry world of blogs. You'd never get to publish this in a national newspaper...
