Bangladesh are looking a bit decent.
ICC Cricket World Cup 2015
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Yes I'd say the same. Good effort and some bold decisions paid off (opening the bowling with spin). Mahmudullah played very well today.
Nah, I think India are going to destroy Bangladesh. They are probably the best players of spin left in the tournament and Bangladesh rely heavily on their spin.
Day 28: India vs Zimbabwe | Australia vs Scotland
Great century by Taylor
What the hell.... Taylor.. at this rate we will be chasing 330
Fantastic jinx. Right on time
Great knock from Taylor.
Top class from Taylor there. Interesting discussion about Flower and Taylor between Pommie and Ganguly...IMO Flower was the better batsman. Close, though.
Love Ganguly's confidence. Just said that we'll chase this score in 40 overs 
He's been right with almost everything so far!Love Ganguly's confidence. Just said that we'll chase this score in 40 overs
Also, it's a bit worrying that the biggest test for our bowlers came from Zimbabwe. The prospect of facing Australia on the Sydney pancake is giving me nightmares already...
Raining in the Australia game. If it gets called off, they could potentially end up playing SA?!
yeap and if they win that... possibly NZ in semis in NZ ...
Need a knock from Kohli here..
Can see already Kohli's in form here
tbf this ground is ridiculously short. the spinners were always going to get a tonking. Our pacers did pretty well.
India in serious trouble now. Dhoni and Raina need a big partnership or we're losing this.
Oz have only themselves to blame if this games gets washed out now. First Clarke fluffed about by bowling Maxwell and holding back Starc to allow Scotland to get 30 runs more. Then while I understand letting everyone have a hit, I still would have had Warner at 3 at least since he is someone who could have chased this down in 10-15 overs.
Would be great if this gets washedout now. QF between Aus and SA could really be a great game to watch
Zimbabwe always lose the plot after taking a few early wickets. They really need to capitalise on their starts.
Games back on, Warner and Faulks going for the tonk.
I think we have won this.

No wonder Taylor can't be bothered anymore. He's thrown away most of his career on a bunch of amateurs. Hope he does well in England.
Good win for India. Raina and Dhoni playing themselves into some form is a big plus. Now that top six is looking quite good. Still think the bowling will let India down at some stage though.
Raina's dropped catch cost Zim the game. Yet another so near yet so far game for them. Taylor is right, they do 80% things right in a match and then screw up. Could easily have won 2-3 games more.
On positive side in other game, Australia won. So relieved. No way SA-Australia should be playing each other in quarters. Now they can only face each other in final. What a dream final that will be. Australia vs South Africa at the G. Orgasmic

It would end up being anti-climatic. SA will probably choke out for less than 200 like they did in 2007 semis which was billed as another great clash.Raina's dropped catch cost Zim the game.

Is he switching nations or something?

I wouldn't put it past England to steal a player like that, it wouldn't be the first time. But no, he's given up his international career to go play county cricket in England.
Day 29: West Indies vs UAE | Ireland vs Pakistan
Pakistan better not feck this up later tonight. I expect we will magnificently feck up though.
Read Irfan is out, which is a blow.

Windies wanting to get this game done quickly...
Pakistan aren't getting a helping hand from UAE.Windies will win this comfortably, but credit to these two batsmen for getting the UAE to over 150 when they looked like they'd be all out for 50.
This is actually a decent partnership. If UAE can somehow climb their way to 200 then anything can happen.
So as long as Windies win within 38 overs, they should be through. I expect they'll manage that.
At least the group stages have been meaningful until the end. Hope we get a good game between Pakistan and Ireland, with a Pakistan win obviously!

UAE badly want to leave before the storms arrive.
Come on hit those fecking runs WI, at least before the 30th over
FFS, they have like 5 runs to hit on the 30th over and they've taken two runs off it, all deliveries that could have been played for a single and a full toss to end over. What a bunch of morons, you are still playing with run rate in mind
Well the last post was a bit dramatic, but apparently they are through unless there's a tie in the Pak Ireland game.
