I kinda doub ti though.....I mean England and West Indies may not be as good as SA, Aus, NZ and SL at the moment, but they are definitely better than Ban, and the unpreditable nature of this young team frightens me. If they can manage to maintain the classy performance against those team, THEN there is a chance.

Would love to see them there but who knows what will happen !!!!!

They also lost to Sri Lanka. Bangladesh would need to win all those games and probably improve their NRR dramatically (they still might not make it even then). Very unlikely to progress.

they have a chance like WI, and England have a chance...

too bad for Richard it was not a warm-up match(the excuse he used against Newzealand's defeat). But I am sure he will come up with yet another lame excuse.

Piss off will I. The New Zealand game was meaningless, this one wasn't.

England and WI have a superior NRR though, and have played less games.

 

[Richard]

Ahh, but you do realise that Ashraful should of been out early, so on the golden rules of first-chance average, South Africa won today. Proving Richard was not wrong about either Bangladesh or Ashraful.

I'd appreciate it if you knew about something before making rather silly comments like that. The first-chance average has absolutely nothing to do with results of games, though I was unaware Ashraful was missed - that makes it all the more annoying, although it would explain how such a terrible batsman could make runs against such a strong attack.

 

[Richard]

stupid as it sounds, I wouldnt be surprised if Richard did actually use that line on us!!!

Another one who doesn't know what he's on about there... there's no way I'd ever say South Africa deserved to win if they can't dismiss Mohammad Ashraful.

You'll laugh when you realise who he was missed off though!

terrible batsman? i beg to differ. Why does it make it even more annoying because you hate to the so called minnows win?

Haha, you really should probably learn to read my posts in a thread before you reply. I can see a "I should have read this post" post coming up now..

 

[Richard]

It really is crazy, you know - I come on CW full of intention on saying well done to Bangladesh, it seems they might actually finally be getting somewhere - and all I get the chance to do is respond to crap like this.

 

[Richard]

Haha, no, I read it - I just don't like leaving those sorts of things unreplied. Anyway, your explanation was slightly less ambiguous than mine.

It's far more annoying seeing rubbish batsmen like Mohammad Ashraful (or any number of others) score runs when they don't deserve to than seeing any substandard side win a game.

the aussies couldn't dismiss him in cardiff and neither was england able to the next game against bd

WI and bd played the same # of games but yeah WI have a higher NRR

hhhm and how is he "rubbish"? and who are the other # of players? And how did he not deserve to score runs?

 

[Richard]

Being dropped and getting runs after being so is not deserving such runs.

And a few others who've done it very often to my annoyance... Matthew Hayden, Virender Sehwag, Marcus Trescothick, Mohammad Yousuf (in the last year)... and a couple of others who've done it a fair bit... Brian Lara and Kevin Pietersen.

 

[LA ICE-E]

and how is that runs not deserving

 

[Richard]

Making a comeback? What's that to do with anything?

Any runs scored after being dropped (or having some other form of let-off) have not been earnt the way those scored without being let-off have been.
