ICC Cricket World Cup Group Stage Open thread (Non Australian games) Part 2

Wilson looked ropeable back in the rooms too. I'm sure he'd gladly give his match fee for 5 minutes in a locked room with Ashocker.....

the Irish won't be happy all round i'd suggest. They had that one in their grasp.

Alright, time to see if Bangladesh can grab an upset win against England..that would be awesome

 

[DamoESP]

Bangladesh are 46 for none after 7 overs chasing 226....off to a good start

 

[DamoESP]

Bangladesh are now 105 for 3 after 20. they are looking pretty solid...one of their wickets was a stupid run out..other two were good placed balls.

 

[Rabbit of Caerbannog]

Swanny throwing a tantrum about the ball being too wet.

Group B will be set up nicely if Bangladesh finish this.

 

[DamoESP]

Ball changed in the 22nd over....four overs later Swann is whining again wanting the ball to be changed, umpire pretty much told him to **** off and would go speak to Strauss about it if he didn't drop it.

A couple of excellent games today

The amount of coverage of the exploits of the other teams on FTA TV: ZERO!

I wouldnt mind if they did a half hour world cup highlights show on Channel 9, but no they'd rather show Entertainment Tonight and the exploits of Charlie Sheen

 

[XFactor1979]

Also Paul Collingwood coming in at number 8 in the batting order: WTF was that?

Why isnt Tremlett or Tredwell playing instead? Tredwell would be extremely useful in those conditions

 

[XFactor1979]

Also, who here said Imrul Kayes looked out of his depth at International Level when he had a paltry batting average of 12.75 as a test opener?

Kayes> Mohammad Ashtrayfull

England are having an off night, they dont look like they're up for it tonight

 

[Kaladin Stormblessed]

Here comes the choke!!!

Kayes and now Shakib gone.

 

[krisholio14]

Yeah Bangers are gone from here I reckon.....

 

[XFactor1979]

I cannot watch this

 

[XFactor1979]

England have taken the WA Warriors mentality in the early part of the century when WA defended paltry totals at the WACA

Ie clutch fielding

Cricket - the ultimate sport where you play choke hold without touching your opponent

*Is going for the team playing against England* Why not?

 

[DamoESP]

FFS Bangladesh...in such a good position to win, didnt have to do anything stupid...and yet here we are..at 166 for 7 with two batsmen in on 0...


Please just at least hang around for 50 overs...dont let Shitland bowl you out.

 

[XFactor1979]

*shouts at TV screen* "Come on you flogs!"

 

[XFactor1979]

Its going to be an unusually easy win for England

 

[DamoESP]

**** Bangladesh......cannot believe they are going to lose this now...****! And lest note forget the fact that we have had Nasser Hussain and Ian botham as commentators....eh


enough said.

*seriously annoyed*

Wanted Bangladesh to win to shove it up Beefy and Nasser

Last 5 overs Bangladesh have lost 4 for 9

 

[DamoESP]

They should be calling the power play. its nearly at a run a ball..call it now, have a few hits, take the pressure off...

 

[XFactor1979]

*ventures to team bus*

Now where can I find some stones?

 

[DamoESP]

Also cannot believe Swann has got wickets tonight, he has bowled pretty poorly, and was lucky to get the wickets he did...though if England win they will praise him as the best spin bowler in the world....lol

Bangladesh need to do a Sri Lanka against Australia type effort here...that would be epic!!!!

Go corpse!

 

[DamoESP]

Go corpse!

And in saying that...Swann gets smashed for 6 for his last delivery....about time!!!!

Come on Bangers....you can do it!!!!

 

[XFactor1979]

And in saying that...Swann gets smashed for 6 for his last delivery....about time!!!!

Come on Bangers....you can do it!!!!

Come on Deshis! Only 36 runs to get! See off Shezhad and then we'll see

EDIT - 36 runs is nothing! If you bowled out an opponent for 36 you can get that amount in 4 overs

 

[DamoESP]

wanting England to lose is the same as wanting Collingwood to lose...the heart is in the mouth, and you just pray to the gods!

Seriously...they need to call the powerplay already..and just got at a run a ball and the game is theirs....
