You broke my record for all WC matches till now.




On a serious note, I'm hoping Bangladesh to come up with a better performance.

The can't get worse, can they? It has to be a better performance!
But don't expect a tough game, for the first time in this WC, we are gonna witness a one-sided game in England's favor.

 

[StinkyBoHoon]

I expect england to win, they'll be determined to avoid another ireland. bangladesh better try and save some face here though.

this is d-day for the minnows in group B.

 

[aussie1st]

The way England have gone in games they are favourites, Bangladesh should push them. That should have been the case before the start of the WC but Bangladesh have been disappointing. Hopefully they get their act together.

 

[SaiSrini]

Bangladesh should be seething after that humiliation against West Indies and that backlash at home. Also they are playing at home and England have lost to a minnow and came close to losing to another minnow this tournament. So I predict another tight game (probably inclined towards Bangladesh).

 

[Harshshah]

Would love to see Bangladesh chase the total and win it

England should mix it up a bit in my opinion, give some of the players a rest or simply replace them if only for one game. Depends on the pitch, but even if it isn't a big turner I'd still be looking at playing two spinners.

I'd definitely give the two replacements a game, and try Trott at the top of the order. Broad could be a very big miss, he, Bresnan and Swann have taken 6-8 wickets each and 21 between them (75%) while the rest have taken seven between them.

Strauss : 280 runs @ 70.00
TROTT : 222 runs @ 55.50
Bell : 188 runs @ 47.00
MORGAN : n/a
Bopara : 90 runs @ 90.00
Prior : 20 runs @ 6.67
Bresnan : 19 runs @ 6.33 & 8 wkts @ 23.50 (ER 4.95)
Swann : 40 runs @ 40.00 & 7 wkts @ 24.29 (ER 4.36)
TREDWELL : n/a
Shahzad : 6no & 0/53 (ER 6.62)
TREMLETT : n/a

Might be a little light on the batting, but have any of those I've omitted done any better?

Collingwood : 47 runs @ 23.50 & 1 wkt @ 92.00 (ER 5.75)
Wright : 'specialist' sub fielder?
Yardy : 19 runs @ 6.33 & 2 wkts @ 79.50 (ER 6.12)
Anderson : 4 wkts @ 57.00 (ER 6.71)

Anderson is probably lucky there is no genuine all-rounder or bowler on better form. While he has taken four wickets to Shahzad's none, he has been expensive and prior to the last low scorer he returned 0/72 (vs Holland), 1/91 (vs India) and 1/49 (vs Ireland). In the role of key and experienced strike bowler he is not doing a great job, until South Africa (2/16) I would not count on a repeat of that performance, he isn't averaging 31.03 across his career because he is consistently good.

Broad will miss England, any feint hopes of winning the World Cup have been replaced. I could include Pietersen in that, shame is he has the ability and wastes it

 

[Afridi Akhtar]

I got a feeling if bangladesh lose this match probably they are out of the Cup

 

[Kabooka]

All in on England

I don't think they'll leave out Anderson, he was poor before SA, but that might have ignited the Jimmy spark, you just don't know. But, I think I'd rather give him these two games to get in to some more form.

Bring Anderson in for Tremlett in your team and that's what my side would be. Yardy really isn't doing anything at the moment to be in the side.

Who knows, be interesting, just hope we perform better and have an easier game than the other 4. How Bangladesh react to WIndies defeat will be interesting.

 

[Papa_Smurf]

Has it been confirmed that Trott's opening?

 

[Haarithan]

Have staked my entire almighty warchest of 120 vCash on Bangladesh to make myselves feel better incase Bangla does an Ireland .

Broad will miss England,

Did you mean the vice-versa ??

 

[Gurjot95]

Only this is the chance where Bangladesh can give competition, if they didn't then they will be worst team in Group B since all associates managed to give England a tough competition. Time for Bangladesh or England will make a easy win? We will see tomorrow.
