March 11 - Bangladesh vs England

[Kabooka]

Games gonna be washed out, Thunderstorms predicted . So I guess bye bye to the "Contenders".

Should allow the Bangladeshis to win to avoid the inevitable stoning that will follow.

Staked 200 vcash for BD.
We all know what will happen when Bangladesh lose. First the fans will throw shoes at em and then throw stones at em and then the former player's will say kick Siddons out.

No, I checked the forecast and there is no rain predicted until next week. I just finished talking to my cousin and he got 5 V.I.P tickets to the game from the Government. I feel so jealous.

Good for the game, Bad for Bangadesh players .

Now not even rain can save em.

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.

But is that fair and best use of the squad in a game we should win? We can't focus on Anderson, in fact I believe he is over-rated and could as easily cost us a game as win it.

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.

Yardy is a mistake, a mistake that can be blamed on T20. You can't turn a batsman into a bowler in any other format of the game, it doesn't work. If he were played as a batsman who bowls a few overs then fair enough, but not as one of the "all-rounders" Maybe England could play him as a batsman, see if he can find batting form then he wouldn't be a passenger.

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.

Ireland are holding their own against West Indies, West Indies 223/5, but it will be interesting to see how much of a game Ireland give West Indies. Bangladesh may bounce back, but with Bangladesh is there really much "bounce" full stop? They are only slightly more capable of beating a Test side than other sides that have/do.

What an upset really! The so called 'contenders' crash out, the biggest upset ever in WC history!

If only Prior had the awareness and put his bat back down after he dragged out, rabbit in the headlights come to mind.

It infuriates me when players get out to leg-side wides from the spinner, stop looking to tuck those balls for one, they should be smashed to the boundary.

He'd looked okay up until then, worked through a decent spell from their seamers. But it should still be Trott opening. You guess he's going to be opening for the rest of the tournament, which is 2 more innings at least. He's going to need a big score, potentially a ton.

He isn't an opener though.

We're looking at 270, I reckon.

Yes, well done Strauss. Make the spinners look ten times better than they are.

270? Think I'll change that to 230-250.

 

[CG123]

England selecting Prior seems to almost be as bad as New Zealand selecting How.

 

[WubbaLubbaDubDub]

England will be bundled out for 180 odd runs

 

[Sureshot]

Nah, still on course for 250 imo.

Bell played a shocker. Trott needs to up it, but the way we played Razzak was dire.

 

[ferg512]

Well given the standard of death bowling at this world cup they can still get 270 with wickets in hand.

 

[aussie1st]

Looks like the Morgan of old, that injury seems to have done wonders for him.

 

[Sureshot]

Morgan gone, great catch from Kayes. Played well, but we still must get 250, if not more.

 

[Slowcoach]

Haha, worst batting in a "Powerplay" ever, feeble.
