WC 23rd Match: West Indies v Bangladesh - Taunton 17/6/19 (Bangers won by 7 wks)

Hope we were paying atention. Looks like they could have chased down 400.

They showed a pitch map of WI bowling when Bangers were around 230 odd

170 plus runs in boundaries just off short bowling. Was obviously a plan by the Windies but was also obvious early on it wasn't working, but they kept at it right to the bitter end lol. Probably dumbest side in world cricket

Outside the top 4 Bangers are the only nation that can make the top 4 IMO

They play Australia next

Would be cool if they made it - especially at the expense of Australia or India

Cant see the poms missing out, nor india so would be one of the other 2

Fox Sports reporting the result as a huge upset but I wouldn’t have said so. It was fairly even coming into the game and probably harder to pick than a broken nose.

Well done Bangladesh, did it pretty easy in the end

Bangladesh's remaining games:

Australia
Afghanistan
India
Pakistan

On form you'd expect them to win 2 and lose 2.

Years ago there was someone on these boards that had (I’m talking a decade ago)

“Bangladesh, 2019 World Cup champions”

In their signature

Now that’s probably not going to happen, but they have come a long way

Foxsports are full of shit, apart from having the word SHOCK in most of their headlines, the content of their articles is pretty much rubbish.

Windies on form were pretty average and the Bangers have been good

Antilag?

Antilag?

Shakib Al Hasan doesn't bat at 8 so it can't be.

Bangladesh have won 8 out of the last 10 against the West Indies, if anything the Windies winning would be an upset

wow, WI's are basically their bunnies,

Hope we jag a win against them on Thursday, if we dont we may not recover

The way I see it, we beat Bangladesh we're in. In that scenario they can't catch us and they're in fifth spot. SA could put up a challenge if NZ don't put them out of their misery first.

If we lose it's definitely one tough road against three teams who'd love nothing more than to send us packing.

A Pommy supporter? Or a Kiwi perhaps? Aussies gonna get a game in any case.

I was surprised when I heard it too but jeez they match up well. Shakib scores runs for fun against the Windies

Or nz

 

[Mr Spock!]

Wow.

Shakib is a genuine gun and would be one of the first picked in any World XI.

Nah probably a bit late for the poms to grab him now.

 

[JJ]

Or nz

Nah

I am biased, but mainly I would prefer a new winner - a NZ/England final would be good, I reckon we can get them - but looking more and more like India and England just have a bit more than the rest
