TOPIC:

Bangladesh look pretty good..0-50 off 7 overs.They appear to have a lot better technique against fast bowling then the last time I watched them play.Have a few fans there also,noisy but not Pakistan noisy.

After a couple of games you could think at least 4 teams probably can't win .Afghanistan, Pakistan ,Sri Lanka and putting the mozz on South Africa.Have a great bowling attack but didn't like the way they played against the English spinners in game 1.
There's questions about the Windies fitness to get through the tournament.We will have a look at Bangladesh
tonight who will be competitive.
Icc have booked in India 2023+Uae 2027 is a maby in indoor stadiums used in the soccer world cup.

Wouldnt write off South Africa GTR. Don't forget they lost to the favourites and its a long tournament. Pakistan are so unpredictable they may get on a run later so I wouldnt discount them either. Sri Lanka and Afghanistan may be in a wooden spoon battle. How far the Windies go will depend on their ability to keep their key players on the park. I notice that Dre Rus was hobbling around on Friday and Gayle nearly put his back out hitting a six.

Mike hope your right about Pakistan. I think they have the best supporters in cricket.Very loud+out do the Indian fans.

Huge win for Bangladesh over a cricket superpower. Batted really well to score 330+..Needed all those runs in the end.But bowled + fielded well enough to hold on.

gtr: It was good win to East Pakistan. I can't understand why the Boers would take two seam bowllers whose fitness is dodgy to England

There leaking 300+ with the ball in both matches.And in both batting innings have played safe against the spinners.With a minimum of 20 overs spin playing from the crease.Hard to go straight unless you go down the wicket.Or mid on or mid off.There just tapping the spinners away.

Much better from Pakistan with the bat. Looks like they will need 350 minimum though as the pitch looks like a belter.

England need 349 to win.íf they can achieve this.It will be the highest chase in CwC history.

Great to see Pakistan sneak the win, despite that twin ton Eng run chase.....of late Eng would of gobbled up that 349 run chase with ease.....amazing when you add "record WC run chase" to it, they come up short....Eng pace boys do look one dimensional with not may tricks....looks like Ali and Rashidwill be very important to them..... early wins on board appear to be a necessity if you want to go deep in this comp.....

You should always bat when you win the toss; they also need to learn how to play the cut shot along the ground -- step across to the ball and roll ones' wrists; Ian Bell was good at the cut shot, they she should see him.

Finch just copped a beautiful leg cutter.The big Jamaican Thomas just clobbered Kuwaja in the helmet.
