26th Match - Australia v Bangladesh

[Burgey]

also why the **** is tom morris on my tv. **** that ****

Won a lot of British Opens way back when.

 

[Starfighter]

Yea idk who you are to judge how people enjoy themselves or whether or not they actually are doing so.

I just found it funny people who talk **** about their own team on the internet for amusement were annoyed at fans who do the complete opposite at the ground. Read Starfighter's posts during this WC and you'd think he's on the edge of offing himself, and somehow that's okay but myopic, nationalistic fans who paid to be at the ground and won't cheer a Warner six are the nuisance. Two sides of the same coin IMO.

Not a slight on you directly, it was that constant line of posting that I was mocking.

Personally I hope we do get a game. Be a shame for Aus to be denied 2 points here because it's England in June.

The only thing in danger of killing me right now is sodium chloride poisoning from this post.

Bangers would want to get on, wouldn’t they? A wash out would have us three points ahead with three game to play. Not easy to make up.

Hope tamim gets going today. He's due.

I think at this point they'll want the game to be shortened as much as possible and hope they have to chase something like 12 an over in 20. The more overs they have the harder it will be for them to pull it off.

Excited to watch Sarkar take on Starc from ball one.

It would be a freak occurrence for Bangladesh to win, but on current form Bangladesh are probably more likely to win from here than any other team from outside the top 4 would be in the same position.

Remember when Australia made 2/360 in the 2003 final? Tad ahead of their time, that outfit.

**** i hope stoinis just blocks out these last three balls

Also wasn't at Trent Bridge so that actually counts.

 

[Burgey]

Why doesn’t he swing like that all the time? Can’t recall the last time I despised n Australian player like I do him. Maybe Andrew Hilditch.

Congratulations OS.

Wanderers just as small and at altitude to boot.

Every Stoinis boundary/wicket eats up my will to live

 

[Burgey]

This is somehow magnificent in its awfulness.

And I mean that as a compliment.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Jeez 130 in the last 10.

 

[Burgey]

130 off the final ten and it feels like we sort of bottled it somehow.

Yeah but the Trent Bridge boundaries are ridiculously uneven too. You can just slog towards the leg side from one an end and hope you get 60 metres.

I don't like criticizing Bangladeshi crowds for being partisan and a bit unsporting. Boo hoo, they did their job as supporters..
