Bangladesh have seriously improved over the last few years. Emergence of some players in the IPL and just generally good investment. West Indies are going through their own period of transition though. I thought they'd be better than they are but they have some really good players. Just need to play a bit more regularly together and they'll come good. Shakib is some player. Quote
Azeem Posted June 17, 2019 Posted June 17, 2019 West Indies is the team most effected by the T20 mindset, their batting against Australia was a prime example of it Quote

Their bowling was only about bouncing the opponent out. Worked in the initial matches, but the next teams figured it out. You need a plan B. Russell's injury has also cost them, as well. He looks half the player. Kinda disappointed with them. But nice of Bangladesh to win. The top four was threatening to stretch away, but Bangladesh keep things interesting. Kiwis have tough matches and England's injury troubles could cost one of those two sides a place in the semis. Windies and/or Pakistan are going to stop somebody from getting to the semis. Quote

England will be fine. Roy is a big miss but they've got enough in the rest of the squad to still build big totals/chase targets. Quote
Azeem Posted June 17, 2019 Posted June 17, 2019 (edited) I meant the individual approach of players towards the longer format, we are also effected by it. A lot of their players and ours will be happy playing T20 leagues around the world because of the internal politics that happens playing for the country and they will get better paid as well.

Administrator Stan Posted June 18, 2019 Administrator Posted June 18, 2019 17 now. Record done but he's out next ball. Quote
The Artful Dodger Posted June 18, 2019 Posted June 18, 2019 (edited) What an absolute piss take that was, ridiculous standard. One Day Cricket has always been mickey mouse but the complete imbalance in favour of batsmen is making it more so, sadly it's creeping into real cricket now too.

Azeem Posted June 18, 2019 Posted June 18, 2019 (edited) Rashid Khan might turn out to be like Ajanta Mendis, doesn't has much bounce in his bowling like him great start to his career but his career trajectory might not quite hit the early promise because batsmen will just learn how to play him better.

IgnisExcubitor Posted June 18, 2019 Author Posted June 18, 2019 England's bowling is going to cost them against better sides. As for Afghanistan. This match is gone but they should have showed this resolve against the Lankans. They could have won that. Quote
6666 Posted June 19, 2019 Posted June 19, 2019 I feel like the top four is basically done. Just a matter of what order they finish in. Quote

Bangladesh have their own life in their hands. Beat Australia tonight then their last game is against Afghanistan, whereas Australia will have England to go.

IgnisExcubitor Posted June 20, 2019 Author Posted June 20, 2019 (edited) Totally supporting Bangladesh tonight. One because Australia losing is always fun and two, it would be brilliant if Bangladesh qualify for the top four and Pakistan don't. Edited June 20, 2019 by IgnisExcubitor 1 Quote
Devil-Dick Willie Posted June 20, 2019 Posted June 20, 2019 Would be great if Australia don't as well. Quote
Toinho Posted June 20, 2019 Posted June 20, 2019 No chance Bangladesh are winning this. Have any of you lot in the UK gone to any games or plan to? I would for sure! Still think NZ or England will win this WC. Love how shit South Africa are doing. Quote
Toinho Posted June 20, 2019 Posted June 20, 2019 Don’t like the bloke but Warner having a field day here. Surely we hit 360ish... Quote

I would for sure! Still think NZ or England will win this WC. Love how shit South Africa are doing. Yeah Australia batting first was always going to lead to a high total. Bangladesh will score well but can't see Australia losing this. Warner and Finch are class batsman. Not gone to any games yet but going to India vs West Indies (Old Trafford) next Thursday and then India vs Bangladesh (Edgbaston) the Tuesday after. Praying for no rain but knowing my luck I see no cricket at all. South Africa doing badly I don't like to see! They have some really good players (De Kock, Du Plessis, Van Der Dussen, Rabada, Tahir to name few!) but seem to have no direction at all and it hurts them so bad with the lack of it. They could be world class but right now they're amateur. 1 Quote
Toinho Posted June 20, 2019 Posted June 20, 2019 Fucking rain. Stayed up but won’t any more. It’s summer ffs. Quote

IgnisExcubitor Posted June 20, 2019 Author Posted June 20, 2019 Good effort by Bangladesh scoring those runs. Should have conceded less. But they have matured as a side. Quote
6666 Posted June 20, 2019 Posted June 20, 2019 Did well when it came to batting and got their highest total of the tournament but their bowling and fielding being poor meant it was always going to be very difficult to win. Quote
