A spinner "can" be clobbered but IMO you are rarely going to see that at this WC.

Bangladesh Believes India Has A Weaker Bowling Attack

India were never going to score 450 vs B'desh, it WAS out of the question.
The addition of Ganguly doesnt make the Indian batting line up the be all and end all in the slightest

Technically that's not all that's needed.
If Bangladesh beats Bermuda and loses to Sri Lanka and India beats Sri Lanka and Bermuda (by a large margin), Sri Lanka and India can advance ahead of Bangladesh. It'll take 2 Bangladesh wins or an India loss with a Bangladesh win to ensure Bangladesh advances. Or 2 Sri Lanka losses, which is the least likely of the scenarios IMO.

No, it wasn't. It was unlikely, but so was a seriously bad ****-up that ended-up happening.
WTF? That makes no sense.
Ganguly's presence massively increases the strength of India's batting-line-up. Simple as.

Eh? India lost to Bangladesh, yes. I was expecting them not to, but I never said it was impossible. That WOULD have been daft.Richard, you were wrong, admit it.
People would have a lot more respect for you, if you did
I wasn't wrong to expect India to win, that was just common sense - name me a single realistically minded person on this site who expected something else?

You ridiculed the idea of it happening, even though Bangladesh have victories over most of the top nations, including India in the past. You suggested 450 plus, you were only 260 odd out I suppose.
You ridicule Scaly on here all the time. Yet you seem to share exactly the same trait with him. Never admitting you could be wrong.
He comes up with nonsense about "bunsens" and "poor play from opposition", if someone he doesn't rate does well, you come up with "flukes" and "luck".
To be fair to him though, he hasn't come up with an utterly ludicrous idea such as the "first-chance average", to justify his waffle.

I came-up with the first-chance scores idea LOOOOONG before I came-up with near enough anything else. Get your events in the right chronological order.
Bangladesh have victories over Sri Lanka (1) and Australia (1). And now India (2).
That doesn't change the fact that to back them in that game would have been ludicrous. However, freak results DO happen. This, and the Ireland-Pakistan one, was such a thing. So was Senegal-France.
It doesn't mean the reasoning for thinking they were unlikely was not sound.

No, because Gilchrist is not inconsistent.

They were outplayed today. It wasn't a freak play or two. Bangladesh were the better team, simple.
yes he is, in one dayers...of course not as much as afridi but he definitely is...

Exactly. You could argue the Ireland win was a freak result, in the sense that it probably wouldn't happen again if they played 9 more times, or on a different surface, or if Ireland had lost the toss. The Bangladesh/India one was totally different. Bangladesh were simply the better team in every area of the game, and by a distance too. It was a fantastic performance.
