Group B - Sri Lanka, India, Bangladesh, Bermuda

[The Baconator]

Might have been wide-ing, but held on there.

Game on?

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Seriously strange that they didn't get a revised target. Surely since they weren't aware it was a 21/21 from the start so should be given at least a little leniency.

Reckon it was because they lost wickets so fast they might have been expected to be bowled out in 21 overs anyway.

if it was a revised target i think bd would be in some trouble

Saleem Mukuddem has had a decent World Cup with the ball. Bermuda should not have axed him for the Indian game regardless of his antics, would have snared a few of their top order.

I have to say that I was amazed to hear Micky Holding saying during the 5th over of Bangladesh's reply that they were still working out if there would be a revised total!

Surely you can't send the batsman out without them knowing what they would be chasing :O

 

[TT Boy]

Bangladesh are fine with the run rate but there is some nerves out there. If only Hurdle could get a grip then this could be really interesting, far too many extras.

On that pitch, with the Indian batsmen in that mood? Would have been a tough ask...

Fancy him to remove Viru.

My guess is that the umpires were aware of the target, but no-one could actually work out why Bangladesh only needed to equal Bermuda's score to win and so the commentators thought that the revised target hadn't been communicated.

Luckily, I've got it worked out.

Anyone else?

Yes, Ed. You're an idiot.

 

[TT Boy]

Mukuddem has another one, decent bowler this guy is.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Perhaps. Sehwag impresses me less and less the more I see him these days. I've lost a lot of regard for the man. Even when he's scoring runs he doesn't look a good player at the moment.

 

[stumpski]

Mukuddem 5-1-19-3, but I take it that's his lot.

 

[Fusion]

Wow, the Bermuda player looks seriously hurt. He got up initially fine but clearly banged his head hard. I hope he's ok.

 

[Fusion]

Some hasty shots being played here by Bangladesh. Seems a bit of panic is setting in...don't know why. They're still in a good position here.

 

[viktor]

LOL at Athar Ali Khan...Bangs should do this easy though..

 

[stumpski]

Their best batsman hasn't even come to the wicket yet.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

If you mean Habibul Bashar, you're desperately mistaken. He's a very poor ODI batsman.

 

[LA ICE-E]

no he isn't, he's the most consistent bangladeshi batsmen

 

[Fusion]

Congrats Bangladesh! I hope you guys cause one or two more upsets in the next round!

man i wanted Leverock to at least get a wicket so i could see his dance
