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

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

Yeah but my guess is that there's some systemic failure there, it won't matter how big the population is.

Wet ball is making this interesting again...

Taskin is a genuine number 11

Not a bad shot from a no.11 that.

The issue is corruption and **** coaching at senior level. Both of which can be rectified if they put the work in that they should have by now

 

[Athlai]

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

Who? And we are talking an XI not a single player

 

[Everton Seymour]

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

Bangladesh ended up finishing behind South Africa who were woeful in that last WC..

 

[Spark]

Ah yes back to the old "let's target the longest boundary with all the boundary fielders when the ball is outside off stump" again

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

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

I would simply train every day to become a professional cricketer and forgo eating

 

[Athlai]

Widest delivery in the history of cricket

 

[Tec15]

VRAT umpiring again.

 

[Burgey]

Bangers fans understandably bemused at a number of very dicey calls which have gone against them in this chase.

 

[Daemon]

Ah yes back to the old "let's target the longest boundary with all the boundary fielders when the ball is outside off stump" again

He even walked across to try and target it

 

[Athlai]

The lucrative life of a Bangladeshi FC cricketer.

 

[Adorable Asshole]

Dumb Banger batting should not cover up for bad Indian bowling.

 

[Athlai]

It's amazing how even as out matched as they are, they still keep getting ****ed this match

 

[thierry henry]

Jeez those were 2 very hittable, very slot-ish balls Nurul just completely missed

 

[Bahnz]

Haha, the sense of victimhood from Bangladesh here is cringe inducing. Steps across his stumps, the bowler still slides it inside the wide line, and the batsmen’s yelling “wide ball before he’s even missed it.

 

[Spark]

Jeez those were 2 very hittable, very slot-ish balls Nurul just completely missed

All the fielders were up on the offside too

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

I stand by this

Will absolutely lol if this happens
