Group B - Bangladesh, Bermuda, India, Sri Lanka

[Adarsh]

Friggin Frig ! Dropped catch. Come on!

 

[SaiSrini]

Still doesn't seem right to me.

Of course. I dont know how it was calculated!

Anyways, Bangladesh look good as long as Ashraful is in the middle! Bermuda has got to get Ashraful early. But Bangladesh might sneak through!

something isnt right

i'm getting a feeling that somehow india will get through

What gives you that feeling? the fact that bangla has lost 3 wickets?

Edit: Dwayne Leverock in! Can he do it for India?

 

[Adarsh]

Damn. It looks bad for Bermuda and India now. Bangladesh are inching closer to the Super 8s.

 

[Master Khan]

it look like india are out of it becuase bangladash are getting closer

only 5 more runs for bangladash to win

 

[rashik007]

[rashik007]

[Blaster]

there you go, india can go with pakistan, everything happens for the good

 

[SaiSrini]

Bad luck Bermuda! Couldnt get through.

Going to be a predictable Super 6.. But considering Bangladesh, this is a big achievement for them moving to the next round in a World Cup!

Hopefully by 2011, they will be giving really great competition. Cant wait for a series between India and Bangladesh. Want India to extract revenge on these fellows! But for that to happen, first India needs a major overhaul.

Dont know how the recovery process is going to start! But dont think the fans are going to stop watching Indian cricket. The fans are only going to multiply. India will have to live with it. The way Indian cricket goes, it will always retain its magnetic power.

Want to see the back of Greg! Enough with him!

And you only have seven weeks to wait!

Be careful what you say.

 

[SaiSrini]

Be careful what you say.

Nothing wrong in what I said. He deserves it if the BCCI doesnt renew his contract! He stayed adamant when everyone had been insisting on a bowling coach. And he didnt do anything with the batters, and they lost form and confidence! He destroyed Pathan who shouldnt have been shuffled that way in the batting order. He lost form with the ball as he thought he could be another Kapil Dev and now looks lost in his career!

Our team seriously needs to get back united like it was under Ganguly-Wright. The unity and the camaraderie that the boys had together was all so good to see and I feel it showed in their performances. Even though India lost at that time too, at least we could see that they fought hard. Nowadays, they crumble all too easily. It wont be easy to forget Sachin's gloomy face in that dressing room at the climactic stages of India's world cup campaign! Dravid was almost down to tears.

From now on, every player picked for India must be more than a decent fielder. When the team picks bowlers or batsmen, they should place and emphasis on fielding. If the bowler is an average fielder (e.g. Munaf Patel), even if he has the potential to be the world's fearsome bowler, he should first be asked to improve his fielding and then get into the team!

And you only have seven weeks to wait!

Oh really! Should be interesting. Probably with a change of guard and change in team, we should be able to beat those guys! Is it in India or in Bangladesh? I hope in Bangladesh! I am sick of the team boasting of home victories!

 

[ZexyZahid]

Congratulations to Bangladesh. They did their job.

It will be in Bangladesh: http://content-uk.cricinfo.com/bangladesh/content/series/282685.html?template=schedule

First match will be on 10th May.

 

[SaiSrini]

Will Dravid continue as the test captain? I think he should because he has had very good success in the test matches. India should introduce this system of seperate captains for tests and ODI's.

 

[prarara]

He seems to be a man defeated; in terms of captaincy, he seems to have given into the overwhelmingly pathetic dead weight of the rest of the players. It even seems like his hair's turning prematurely grey now.

I like your idea of the fielding emphasis, especially for ODIs and 20/twenties, but maybe not as much for tests.
