Yes still two massive games to go, unless Bangladesh lose to SA then the four places are decided.

I agree on Roach, but Benn's experienced, should've done better.

Of course. But you also don't want to see any instances of 5-wide deliveries, let alone two of them toward the end of the innings.

Should've at least dived. He's about the length of the pitch.

So who do we bring in for Shahzad ?

It just seemed lazy, yeah. Reckon you're right about one side wanting it more, particularly if its true Sarwan batted late due to being in the shower or something.

The pressure of the situation certainly got to the batsmen at the end, not very clear thinking go on there. Benn looked muddled in this thinking, Roach played a silly shot, Russell very nearly got out in a similarly crazy fashion trying (ultimately succeeding) to hit another six when maybe was an unnecessary risk. It probably shouldn't have been left to those guys in the end.

Bangladesh go through it they beat SA regardless of what happens in the other game.

With SA already through if they rest Tahir, Steyn and De Villiers, which isn't that improbable, then Bangladesh has a chance, but both the batting and bowling of Bangladesh have to turn up, they can't rely on the bowlers digging them out as they have done on the past.

It's International cricket, it's the World Cup the (arguably) best spinner in the world is bowling it square on a pitch that's a bunsen. Shouldn't be a walkover, and it wasnot. Games need to be won. The pressure is immense, people need to stop throwing the Choke word around, IMHO.

If West Indies bat first, they need to win by 161 (ish) runs for India's NRR to drop below England.
If India bat first, then West Indies need to chase down the total by the end of the 21st over.

Sure, but you could pick any XI from South Africa's squad and it'll still require a big upset for Bangladesh to beat them. I hope they do it, but it's pretty unlikely.

This is true, WI lacked intensity, it seemed to me that they played like as if they had already qualified, this loss might come back to haunt them. Actually I wouldn't mind if SA play like this against Bangladesh (clutching straws)

Yeah, first time I've considered this, as I was thinking it was over. They'll probably go for Plunkett, I'd go for Steve Davies, but that's because he should never have been left out.

Rashid, another spinner will be useful.

Indeed. As long as Swann had overs to spare England were always a wicket away from being right back in it. WI basically have three number elevens.
