What's funny is that what India and Pakistan managed together last tournament, England managed to do on their own in this one. Yet, they're still in the WC.Imagine If somehow England go on to win the World Cup. People will remember one thing
"We finally Won a World Cup in which we lost to a minnow & a semi Minnow "
Yeah but then there will be no representation from the European continent.Btw fully agree that there should be no minnows at the next tournament. Top 8 only IMO.
Haha, Yes, IF SA lost all their remaining games, Yes England will make it to the next round. But what are the chances that SA will lose to BD & IRL ?If BD beat Saffa we can finish ahead of them right? As long as India beat them? No?
Uggggh should have just won FFS
I'm still backing England to win the game, however. Just have a feeling they will.
On recent form the Windies would go into that game as favorites, wouldn't they? Should be a cracker of a game!
Yeah but basically an India win tomorrow means we are in control of our destiny regardless of the result of Ban-SA, if I'm working it out right. Am probably not tbf given its all from memory as I'm on the train.Haha, Yes, IF SA lost all their remaining games, Yes England will make it to the next round. But what are the chances that SA will lose to BD & IRL ?
No they'll play NZ in DhakaIf Bangladesh qualify, they'll face Australia in the quarter-final.
Haha, everybody in Group A must be rooting hard for that to happen. Hope NZ or someone get to play them if that happens, though. Shame the minnows in that group couldn't even give us a glimmer of a hope of pulling off any upsets.If Bangladesh qualify, they'll face Australia in the quarter-final.
Who know's after SA last game, but you'd fancy SA obviously.Haha, Yes, IF SA lost all their remaining games, Yes England will make it to the next round. But what are the chances that SA will lose to BD ?

I honestly believe I would find it reasonably okay if we go out. We need real changes to our squad. Tredwell, Yardy, Prior, Wright should never be near a squad again, IMHO. Question marks over Bell, Colly, KP (gutless), Jimmeh and many of the other regulars. Oh and Strauss's captaincy in this form is awful, need a new captain, but have no idea whom, Cook perhapsWell done Bangladesh. England got what they deserved there for their pathetic attitude throughout.
Part of me hopes we lose to Windies to avoid a shambolic heavy defeat in the knockout rounds.
Agree about Tredwell, Yardy, Prior, Wright, but the others I don't, there's nothing better in CC. Why the gutless comment about KP?I honestly believe I would find it reasonably okay if we go out.

I'm not so sure. Losing Broad is an enormous blow to England (without him they probably would have lost to SA). I'm picking the Windies.I'm still backing England to win the game, however. Just have a feeling they will.
