Not sure why we would be, tbh.

If anything a Bangladesh win today would probably ensure that NZ go for the win as leaving it to NRR with Bangladesh only being a few runs short of them would be very risky. If NZ win the toss, bat first and their big hitters finally show up this World Cup to give the likes of Ferguson, Boult, Henry, &/or Southee something to defend I wouldn't put it beyond the realms of possibility that they get something.

Even if England win and go through however, I wouldn't be mad. Them winning the World Cup would be the perfect lead in to the Ashes and they have been the most consistent ODI team during the last 2-3 years.
 
Imagine if he started the tournament how many wickets he would have.
 
Kohli is an idiot. He doesnt have a case here..
Reviews shouldnt be lost in these cases... but that's the rule and there is no point complaining to the on field umpire about it.
 
Took time to make his decision, fair enough. Should be like this not one like Rohits.

Why haven't we retained the review since they're not sure.
 
What are the commentators on about?
He didn't say that it was conclusively an inside edge. He said that there wasn't enough evidence that it missed to bat to overrule the on field umpire so the umpire should stick with his on field decision.
 
Bangladesh doing well here. Shakib will have to play a long knock today.
 
For the sake of the tournament Bangladesh winning would be fun as that would mean England have no choice but to win tomorrow if not they are out.
 
ANd there is Pandya taking wicket of an ordinary bowl. Man opponents must hate him.

Will also mean India have to win against Sri Lanka to be sure of qualification if England win.

There should be a movement.

Ban Manjrekar, Ramiz, Harsha and Wasim (unless he learns how to read and not interrupt)

Add Ganguly too. Ironically Ganguly's hindi commentary is better to listen too.

Yeah true, it would make that Pakistan v Bangladesh game far more interesting as well.
 
Having no 6th bowler and totally depending on Pandya to finish his 10 overs quota is worrying. I would drop DK (harsh) and bring Jadeja. I am not a fan of Jadeja the batsmen but anyways it's not like Jadhav or SHankar were doing much with the bat. ATleast with Jadeja you get a better bowler and an amazing fielder.

My preferred line up for India would be Rohit Rahul Kohli Pant Dhoni Pandya Jadeja Bhuvi Shami Kuldeep Bumrah

Don't think Ganguly is that bad. He annoys me sometimes but he's okay imo. Manjrekar is like a fan just won a competition to commentate.

Manju is an idiot. I also find him arrogant, his tweets also sometimes comes across as arrogant. I actually miss Shastri as the commentator.

They should make it a law in cricket. David Lloyd commentating on every game all the time.

Alan Wilkins and Mark Nicholas were pretty good too. Holding can be whiny but he does speak about the game rather than talking about some crap. That Zimbabwean guy , sorry forgot his name, is also pretty good.

Yeah and he is good. Was just stating commentators who are/were good. Not watching the game live so didn't know he was commentating while I wrote"were"
 
India has this ability to slowly chip away wickets and take wickets at crucial junctions of the game
 
Shakib not getting any help here. Reckon this pressure will tell now that they are 5 down, and the RR getting too high.
