ICC Cricket World Cup 2019

Taylor really stitching his innings nicely.
 
Geez. Just tried brushing up on the DLS calculation....and my head hurts.

In my defence, I haven't done statistics since second year uni...that was about 15 years+ ago.
 
If he gets out, this is going to put a lot of pressure on the other 3.

When I said at the top this is our best 11 - I should not have.. Dhoni doesn't feature in it, but has made himself indispensable because we didn't try anyone else for 2 years.

We'll win this game 98 out of 100 times but this innings should be judged in isolation - and it has been wank.
Dhoni seems to want to make it all about him whenever he bats. It'll cost India before too long.
 
NZ doing a Bangladesh here.
 
Underusing the shorter length and yorkers against the less established batsmen.
 
Bowling a wide is criminal
 
Bangladesh need these 2 wickets to win now
 
New Zealand have completely gone but Bangladesh haven't quite been wily enough to pull it out of the bag (yet).
Bangladesh still do not have that composure to consistently finish off tight games. That's the one thing they need to work on to progress to the next level. There's enough talent there.
 
Thrilling finish. This World Cup is getting tasty.
 
I've finished work so I'll give my opinion on the BD team so far.
  • We must be the only sports team on the planet that keeps a below average player in the side simply for his captaining abilities, Mortaza is always the most expensive bowler
  • Mushfiqur needs to stop keeping wicket and instead concentrate on batting at 4
  • If Tamim is unfit then he needs to be rested, feck it play Mithun as the opener, he's been useless in the middle order so let's see him further up if not then give Liton the opening position
  • Need to seriously work on temperament in the last 10 overs, the amount of Wides was pisstaking
  • New Zealand are proper contenders and if the top order start to click then I see them as a hard match-up for anyone
 


Been retired for a year but makes himself available on the eve of the squad announcement. The nerve of this guy.
 
What a self entitled prick.

He's ABD .. can do what the feck he wants IMO. They should have snapped his hand off and got him in. There is a time for pride.
 
Zidane did the same before 2006 WC.

Different. In that case the French coach persuaded him and Makelele to comeback, also France were struggling to qualify without them so he came back and played the qualifiers.

There's no point in having values and principles if they aren't applied to everyone. AB is no exception.
 
The funny thing is he gave an interview on gaurav kapurs show during the IPL saying it'd be arrogant to come back and join the world cup, doesn't want to do that. :lol:
