Group 2 (Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Netherlands)

[Burgey]

There influence in the game.

don’t think that’s right tbh but Kohli’s reaction definitely conned the umpire into giving it. No different to Smith pointing out a field of side didn’t have the right number inside the circle tbh, about which there was much wailing and gnashing of teeth on here from the usual suspects

 

[Starfighter]

So they're playing these matches one after each other at the same ground knowing innings take longer than they ought to? Nice going.

 

[_Ed_]

This is a fun partnership for the last wicket.

 

[Burgey]

That's a filthy chuck

Netherlands really only needed someone in the top seven to hang around with Ackermann and they'd have won this easily.

 

[Burgey]

Please bowl a no ball which goes for at least four next

 

[thierry henry]

Jesus some of the death bowling in this tournament lol

 

[Aritro]

Thank **** that's out the way. The Dutch throwing away a very winnable game with kamikaze running between the wickets.

There was a genuine danger we'd go winless so it's a ****ing relief.

Reckon they'll beat Zimbabwe, even though they've been good lately. Who knows what SA & Pakistan will dish up at any given tourney? Bangers wouldn't be favourites but not out of the question they sneak one or both of those

Its being run like a Mickey mouse tournament.

Taskin?

 

[Burgey]

Yeah, the slower one in the last over

Not sure about this, Zimmers just beat us 2-1 in a pyjama series over there. They're better equipped for this stuff with their power hitting.

We're barely a top 12 nation in T20s btw. The only thing I want from the other matches is for them to be over so I can watch the rest of the tournament in peace.

 

[Starfighter]

Didn't even need to look at the playing XI to know. His action is really filthy and it's amazing he hasn't been reported again.

Taskin or Fizz? Pretty sure you posted this when Fizz was bowling and they kept showing replays of his cutters

 

[StephenZA]

And so the SA campaign starts off fittingly in the rain...

Actually you're right, sorry. Was the left armer.

Think his test match action is fine fwiw (and noticeably different). White ball action is filthy.

Hasan Mahmud should be gun for us if he remains fit. Looks like pace comes natural to him without much effort. Good addition with reformed Taskin.

We really need to get rid of Soumya the bowler. He will continue to serve dishes and lose the game.

Musa bats too low in this team. If Sohan continues to be in the team and does not open then its best to drop Yasir Ali for a genuine bowler.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Poor SA if rained out. If NZ don't win the tournament I'd like the Proteas to get it. Anyway, no idea why Zim decided to bat. At least the national anthems were good.

And if rained out, Bangladesh will be top of the table.

I saw a Bangla news item on him where he says his main gift is that he can bowl faster in the last spell of a red ball match than he does in the first, so with that sort of fitness and conditioning I'd like to see us try him in a test soon.

Saw they're using the Dukes ball in Deshi first class now as well. Mushfik Hasan clean bowled Tamim with a wicked inswinger the other day as well. He reckons he's currently 140kph but he's working on developing his body to bowl 150.

Just our luck that while we're producing a bowling attack worthy of the name we're also producing the worst international bastmen we've had since about 2005.
