33rd Match - England v Bangladesh (9th March)

[GIMH]

Gonna be a tough chase, we'll do it though

 

[Zinzan]

20 runs light perhaps.

Yeah probably 30 short.

Question: if England win here and also beat yer Afghan Whigs but we get rain in Hamilton and NZ/Banglas is an NR it will leave both England and Bangladesh with 6 points.

If Bangladesh's net RR is better (and it is much ahead currently) would they go through?

And people said I was joking when I said Jordan over Woakes.

Just like you have to flex your elbow < 15 degrees, you should have to run up to the crease at at least jogging pace if you're a seamer IMO.

 

[Zinzan]

holy **** just figured out mortaza was about 15/16/17 when he debuted in test cricket

Nah, born in Oct '83 & debuted Nov '01 at 18.

 

[Grasshopper]

Not a bad total. Could be an interesting chase.

And his Test debut was also his First Class debut.

 

[Contra]

Gonna be tough to defend this but Bangladesh should be proud of how they've played after being 2 down for not much and then 4 for about a 100.

Yes. If points are shared, the next factor is the NRR regardless of who beat who previously..

i just saw the 2001 and saw he's 31 and had a double take

 

[Riggins]

It just got rather Sunny out there or is it just me?

Big time.

Is number of wins looked at before NRR?

yes i suppose

 

[Cabinet96]

Needs more work on flicking the balls onto the stumps.

And needs to improve his "owwwiiizzzziiieeee!"

Lol, It's not that complicated champ

imagine if england won this game then lost to afghanistan. aside from how great it would be to see hamid rip through them just when they thought they were safe, would it send them home?

 

[Zinzan]

Agree. Confident England will get home today.

Wonder how comfortable Indian fans will feel with the prospect of playing them in the quarters....we know which side will be under more pressure if it comes to that

 

[BoyBrumby]

Correct.

Yes. If points are shared, the next factor is the NRR regardless of who beat who previously..

Ta.

Would almost be funny in a grimly tragic way.

Next time England lose this WC will be their last game.
