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

[Bahnz]

This has been the GOAT WC for Pakpassion schaudenfraude, and there have been some great ones.

I know that I shouldn’t be surprised but I am constantly amazed at how a team representing a cricket loving nation of 170 million people struggle to improve at all

If Namibia had access to those resources, they would be one of the world’s best teams

The entire population of the country doesn't combine it's cricket powers like a Goku spirit bomb.

Group 1 can't have it all their way , having perennial chokers and Bangladesh in the semis would be way too generous ? .. Christmas is still a month away .

 

[Spark]

Couple of top edges here and they're still in it.

Literally all they had to do was stop ****ing trying to blast sixes over the longest boundary in world cricket and they'd be in with a huge shout still.

If Zimbabwe or Ireland had their resources they'd probably be the clear cut #1 in the world, for example. Absolutely should be a top-half side in the world at this point.

Taskin is a genuine number 11

 

[Athlai]

Yes the famed resources of the BCB. Wtf are you ***** on about

why not?

 

[straw man]

geez I'm really surprised how Bangladesh absolutely butchered this chase

 

[social]

Thank **** CA keeps giving the arse to their test tours. You'd be able to convene the crowd in a phone booth.

They can’t blame lack of international cricket

They’re simply unprofessional

The entire population of the country doesn't combine it's cricket powers like a Goku spirit bomb.

They have a good youth pipeline with a good domestic setup, T20 league and their U-19 teams have been good in recent tournaments with very good local support. They should be doing far more at senior level than what they're putting out

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

why not?

Krillin (Shakib) has to die first.

 

[Burgey]

Taskin is a genuine number 11

Which means he's more likely to top edge it instead of middling it

Yeah like maybe this is a gross economic oversimplification but surely ‘resources’ is like…exactly what the problem is

 

[Ashes81]

I think Bangladesh have had the rough end of the rain break, new target etc, but they haven't managed this run chase well at all.

Poor shot selection has contributed massively - the game was there for the taking

 

[Socerer 01]

If only a couple of batsmen stuck around. Sohan seems like a hitter

 

[Daemon]

Not that it’s a great measure, but Bangladesh’s GDP per capita is 2.5% of Irelands.

Why don’t they just use all of their resources to make more money

 

[mr_mister]

They did have a decent chance in the middle of the tournament

Just looking at the fixtures... Not sure I agree. Ended up coming 8th, and their wins came against 10th, 9th and 7th

Like at no point did they look like realistically taking a spot off one of NZ, Aus, England or India

Many greats from other countries were far more disadvantaged than the modern Bangladeshi cricketers
