[Fuller Pilch]

Cmon Mark Waugh!

Ya I'd worry a little if England scores 130. Anything below shouldn't be a problem for the AfGUNs.

Shahzad could kill the game very quickly too.

England's last 10 games against minnows at ICC world cups

Win against Afghanistan in '15
Loss against Bangladesh in '15
Win against Scotland in '15
Loss against Netherlands '14
Win against Afghanistan '12
Loss against Bangladesh '11
Loss against Ireland '11
Win against Netherlands '11
No result against Ireland '10
Loss against Netherlands '09



Genuinely a bad team against lesser nations

 

[weldone]

So Shapoor will bowl the 18th and the 20th. I hope Gulbadin gets the 19th over ahead of Hamza - I don't fancy left-arm spinner against lefties who will be desperate to slog in the 19th over.

Would have liked to have seen Adil in batting earlier than this, pretty handy against spin.

Bangladesh isn't a minnow and they have won 3 of their last 4 games against England. But, yes.

 

[hendrix]

That looked out

 

[Jono]

Engloland

Yep

it helps my argument to consider them a minnow

How are placings decided if teams finish equal on points? NRR or winner of the game between them? Even if they win today England's NRR will still be terrible.

NRR as far as I know.

 

[Scaly piscine]

England have hardly played a shot in anger.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

NRR as far as I know.

That's good for South Africa if that is the case.

Oi Mr. Stanikzai why you do this ?!?

Yup...

 

[weldone]

Jesus this is bad captaincy....I warned against this minutes ago

feeling really angry

 

[Tec15]

That over means England now have a half defendable total.

 

[LegionOfBrad]

Why does he come in below Jordan.
