England bottling it yet again.

In some ways I'd like to see Bangladesh win as they're so passionate about cricket and it's a country that's been through a lot.

Pisses me off how inconsistent England are though.

Hmm seems I made the classic mistake of speaking too soon.....

Oh for fucks sake, absolute fucking bottlejobs. fuck off england. how can you lose to fucking bangladesh AND ireland. letting them put on an 8th wicket partnership of 58. fucks sake.

The Gay Icon is having a really shit tournament.

Axver · 03-11-2011, 09:46 PM

Well holy shit, after that performance against the Windies, I thought England couldn't possibly struggle with Bangladesh, and look what happened! Good on Bangladesh, and it'll fucking show the Poms if they don't get through to the next round.

What a shame about Ireland not quite making it over the Windies though.

India v SA is a good game so far. Interesting run chase but Saffa's have just lost kallis.

1stepcloser · 03-12-2011, 11:00 AM

And why do they keep playing bloody Bon Jovi over the sound system??

cobl04 · 03-13-2011, 11:16 PM

India CHOKED...

India, Eng and RSA are chokers.....

and they are the 3 teams..I support in that order

Axver · 03-15-2011, 04:46 AM

Will South Africa choke against Ireland!

The W'Indies better beat England.. It would be good for cricket if the hosts, Bangladesh, deservedly qualify for the QF's.

If only the Dutch could have just managed the win against the Poms

AcrobatMan · 03-16-2011, 04:12 AM

Group B is interesting.

If England lose to West Indies, Bangladesh,India,WI & South Africa qualify

If England wins...all other combinations ( with only south africa confirmed) is possible.

How can England lose quarterfinal berth
----------------------------------------
a) Lose to WI
OR
b) Win over westindies, Bangladesh win over SA, India lose to WI and still maintain better run rate than England. ( India shd have better run rate unless
defeated by 100 runs)

How can India lose quarterfinal berth
-----------------------------------------
a) Eng win over WI by high margin. India lose by WI by high margin. Bangladesh win over SA....Eng , Ind ties but better runrate England qualifies..

How can Bangladesh lose quarterfinal berth
--------------------------------------------
a) Eng win over west indies and they lose to south africa

How can west indies lose the quarterfinal berth
-----------------------------------------------
a) WI lose to both india and england..and bangladesh wins over south africa...

i am assuming that because of 58 all out..Bangladesh runrate would remain the most pathetic in case of same points with westindies or in case sa vs bangladesh is a tie..and bangladesh reaches 7 points

Axver · 03-16-2011, 04:30 AM

Good god this group is getting complicated - and thank god for that. The only thing keeping me awake re: Group A is how high New Zealand will finish.

God I hope the Windies get up over the Poms!

I heard on the radio that the spinner for Canada is Australia's spinner coach

No John Davison, but I think Shaun McManus must have got it wrong this morning as I just googled him and he was a coach at the Centre of Excellence.

You know, if you've followed Canada's performance since the start of this tournament, they've definitely improved over the course of the Cup. On the basis of their first couple of games, I wouldn't have thought they'd put over 200 on the board against Australia ... or even 120.

More international time against REAL opposition and they may actually stop being such a minnow. But do you think the ICC Old Boys' Club cares?

1stepcloser · 03-17-2011, 09:39 AM

Getting destroyed by Chris Gayle. Great

1stepcloser · 03-17-2011, 12:42 PM

EPIC bottlejob by the Windies.

222/6 - 225 all out
