Was really worried we'd picked someone named Cullen then. Thankfully he is Callum Taylor. I mean who are we? Australia?

Ah Callum, for some reason the name Cullen stuck on my mind

I hope England v India meet. As a Bangladesh fan, I prefer to face England than India in final. Regardless, England has no chance against Bangladesh after what happened in the warm-up game. Don't let these games against Fiji and West Indies fool you – both are weak. Bangladesh also recently demolished West Indies 3-0.

I think you are overrating the current BD squad. An excellent outfit and playing together as a good unit but it's not certainty that BD will reach final. The squad lacks a quality fast bowler which is disappointing because we had influx of promising fast bowlers coming in last few editions. 2012- Al Amin & Taskin Ahmed, 2014- Mustafizur Rahman & Abu Hider. Shaifuddin is the only one in the squad probably who is a good medium pace bowler. But he is still very raw and a lot needs to be developed about his bowling. Plus point is that he can bowl good yorkers. Haven't heard much about the left arm seamer MH Rana. This team depends a lot on spin bowling and as you know already that Sanjit Saha has been reported. Not sure if he can concentrate on rest of the tournament. Miraz won't be getting 3 wickets every match. It's too dependant on Saleh and Saeed to perform every match.

India vs Bangladesh final looks the most likely atm. Pakistan, SL, England or even Zimbabwe can cause an upset and reach final but that will be a mini-upset.

Almost a must win game for NZ today against India unless Nepal slips up against Ireland

 

[Kippax]

Gibson brought in for Seers. NZ field first again.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Keen to finally see some footage of zak

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

NZ will be looking forward to exploiting the moisture as much as they can. First one hour will be absolutely crucial for India to survive. Bowling first here is actually not a bad idea esp in this pitch

 

[Bahnz]

Gibson's much vaunted pace registering in the high 120's. :/

 

[Prince EWS]

Foxtel's low care factor despite actually having the rights is grating on me more by the day, tbh.

 

[Blain]

Both Smith and Gibson bowling 130-135kms now, like the look of both!

 

[wellAlbidarned]

gibson's action is much more unco than I remember. Was silky smooth in his high school days.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Definitely a lot of natural attributes to work with for gibson but man that action has plenty of room for improvement.

 

[Immenso]

If D Phillips can be as useful and disciplined with the ball as Leopard then that would be very useful.

They haven't shown much faith in his bowling in other games though.

I expect our spinners to get milked a bit, so he'll be important. As Clarkson won't bowl.

 

[Immenso]

Ok, this is getting a bit ridiculous, still only one over of spin so far.

 

[Kippax]

Smart against Sarfaraz tbh. I'd almost like to force Clarkson to bowl at 70%.

Sandeep Lamichhane with a hat-trick for Nepal against Ireland.

weldone should've gone again at $1.53.
