World Cup Group A - Pool Matches Discussion Thread

[Dutch]

The whole reaction on the bench says it all...fearsome tweak all from Peter moores....still gets his salary....

I always want us to win, but in a way I'm not disappointed we've lost. This will be a clear signal now that they have been pathetic in this tournament and that things can't stay the way they are. I see no future for Moores, Downton or Whitaker.

 

[Dutch]

Wow, just wow.

Look at the celebrations from the Bangladeshi's, they wanted this more and they fully deserve their victory.

best thing to happen to England in two years....

Somewhere KP is having a not so silent laugh.

More like ROFL

So presumably we will use the Jordan incident (out for me) as an excuse?

If we are going to say 'we would have won if super Chris Jordan wasn't run out' then we should have the 2019 World Cup stripped from us.

Oh dear. What a match. I thought Jordan should have been given the benefit of doubt. But irrespective, Bangladesh deserved to win the match.

It's very likely now that India will face Bangladesh in the Quarter Finals.

whats fantastic is Ban won it with their seamers instead of spin like most of us expected if at all ban were going to win

You'd think they would have something by now to make the crease blink if the bowler oversteps.

Need this for runouts as well obviously.

It's not very likely, it's certain.

problem is Jordan's run out the crease would have blinked, but it bounced up...

What if the bat blinked when it was in the air?

Coupled with the music played at ODIs, all this blinking would make the game resemble a rave.

Have to distract the crowd from England's on field performance somehow.
