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

[StephenZA]

Zim genuine threat to anyone in this tournament. Good side

Never say die side… wins them unexpected games.

 

[Xuhaib]

This rule which led to a no ball has to be the dumbest I have seen. I mean really why what's the point?

You mean one of the oldest rules in the book where the wk must collect from behind the stumps… fairly simple thing to do as well.

Bangers aren't a minnow in T20 and I'm not sure they ever were.

Reckon they've been top 3 Asian T20 side fairly often in the last decade.

Maybe in my mind they are just because I have had zero faith they could ever go deep in a WC. Quarter finals in 12 team tournaments shouldn't count

 

[Xuhaib]

Also not a fan of batsman can't cross while catch happens. Don't see why they changed it I doubt there were any complains on this rule.

 

[Athlai]

Pretty easy to see why WI didn't make it with the performances from the likes of Zim and Ireland so far. And the Dutch have a few quality blokes

Maybe I'm not following T20I's closely enough but they definitely feel pretty ordinary in the format, I'd say they're clearly a much better ODI side.

0/32 in 3 overs
Dropped Catches
Involved in the runout of Zim's best player in the match
2 off 2

Damn Bangladesh really should hand over the Man of the match to Brad Evans

Yes, very well played from him, I believe that Bangladesh PM has just called to congratulate him.

 

[Spark]

I like the new rule. Makes keeping the strike even more interesting

Also makes wickets still important in the last over; in some situations it was entirely worth throwing away a wicket just to rotate strike. Not any more.

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Not a thing… new rules mean that new batsmen keeps strike.

Odd that I missed this change. Is that a change to the Laws (i.e. for all cricket) or a change to the playing regulations (just professional cricket)?

 

[trundler]

Gutted for Zim.

Law change I believe.

 

[Athlai]

C'arn the Dutch, give us more bangers

 

[Tec15]

Even though they're both minnows it's like everyone wants Zimbabwe to win

Bangladesh have ruined so many chances to have a fairytale deep WC run so everyone's sick of them

They're yesterday's minnow

Waaah! No fair! Bangladesh should just have thrown this so the plucky Zims could go to the Semis! (And get destroyed there by the Aussies, but who cares, "everyone wants that")
Everyone meaning who? Australians? Don't care what they want, seeing as they came dressed as empty seats for Halloween, as usual.

Sorry didn't mean to trigger you. Just saying it'd be exciting to see Zimbabwe go deep. Bangladesh aren't ever gonna do it

 

[Burgey]

Don’t worry, Tec is a monstrous lightweight. More to be pitied than despised.

 

[Athlai]

I just wish the best things for O'Dowd

You did this.
