Hope they drop Usman instead of explosive Shaun Marsh.Smith at 3 followed by explosive Shaun looks much more stable.

If only we had Short, Turner, Hazlewood and Pattinson playing...oh well, we might scrape by

Pattinson is junk at white ball cricket. Short's kinda **** at anything that isn't T20 too.
Do think the side really needs Hazlewood and Turner though. If only Turner's shoulder wasn't bung, as he'd be a good 6th bowling option too.

Finch to lose the toss for his 8th straight ODI...

If Short played, he would have to open, and we already have no shortage of options there. Turner would have been pretty handy though, slot him in alongside Maxwell at 5 or 6 and suddenly our middle order looks much more dynamic
Pretty much given up on the idea of Turner ever being a viable bowling option though

Pakistan probably have the best chance of upsetting the apple-cart. AFG, BANG, NZL and SAF are all winnable games for them (mind you I wouldn't be that surprised if they lost all 4 of them).

If Bangers lose this, all the rest of the matches in this World Cup will be dead rubbers.

Problem is, they HAVE to win all 4. Just 3 isn't going to be enough. And 3 of those matches are coin flips at best for Pakistan.

Well, I'm sure India and England would be looking to avoid playing each other in a semi final

He'll make 60(35), take 5/22 (6) and secure his place for the next three years regardless of doing nothing for that entire length of time.

Just so long as it's not in a losing cause like last time.

BD can chase 320 again but they'll need to see off Starc and Cummins to do so.
Not sure about this team BD have selected tho. Moses was providing useful 6th bowler overs and Shaifuddin was BD's leading wicket taker and adding value with the bat. Plus I don't like it when teams change a winning combination for no apparent reason. I could see Rubel going for plenty. Hope he proves me wrong.

I want Bangers to win this one bad . I predicted they'd lift the World Cup one day , when I first saw Iqbal and Al Hassan and others coming through in the noughties . They haven't progressed at quite the rate I'd hoped for , but they are a very dangerous unit on their day.
Both these sides are playing nice cricket though , for the most part . They are both worthy semi-finalists based on their performance so far . We've seen flashes of brilliance from Sri Lanka , Pakistan and West Indies...but plenty of very sub par stuff too . India . New Zealand , England , Bangladesh and Australia are all showing well so far . At least one of them is gonna be knocked out and not truly deserve it .
