England are giving me grey hair at the moment, every game so far has been down to the wire for us, so here is hoping its huge margin of victory for St George's men, but i suspect this will be close.

You never seem very vocal when you lose. Well bangledesh always have an upset in them but this is not an upset because england are not very good :D. Did you envision a loss though i wonder?
 
If only we beat england they could be packing their bags.West Indies vs England, go windies,should be easy.Bangladesh beat netherlands and WI beat england then bye bye england :D

We are experienced chokers, lots more pressure on us when we need to do the same so we fail because play negative cricket. You need to relieve the pressure which is something we never do. We go into our shell and just never get out of it.

No excuses from me, we where beaten and whipped by the Bangies.

What can I say, not much hey.

Bangladesh showed a lot of bottle, and that I have to respect.
 
They choked and lost the game to Ireland & Bangladesh because they have a handful of SA players in their 15-man WC squad.

Nah, it's only chocking if the team that looses actually is good enough to win the game but lost anyway. This is just a poor side that has lost another game. England are not SA or Aus, just a second rate side with a first rate reputation, though why that is the case is beyond me.

Anyway, well done Bangladesh. Knew you could do it.

Ronjay, between you and me, I would like to know the truth.

Does your post not feel a bit shallow, I mean its a funny post and got some humour, but would it not feel better if it was actually the team that you support and have pride for who actually got this victory against England.

Would your post then not have more meaning and pride behind it, I'm just wondering.

Epic and so true.

Church dude as sad as it may be for you to hear england are the minnows of odi cricket, perhaps not zimbabwe bad but certainly up there with Bangladesh and west indies and on this WC performance perhaps below them. Odi does not seem like their game. Also pieterson dropping out hurt them. They are half decent with trott and pieterson in the team.

West indies murdered Bangladesh something sick, they beat Ireland. England lost to both, ok they beat us which disgusts me but anyhow i am not worried we will nail the indians tomorrow. Got a good feeling :D.

Is struass an ex pat or born in england? or am i mistaken? it gets so confusing figuring out which england player they grabbed from us with their SA cricket trafficking.

England do not seem to have any fighters in their team....they give up easily. Even against India instead of going for a win they settled for the draw..which will come back and haunt them
 
Yup,i dont think we will choke twice in a row,although we've never had the opportunity cos its normally the semi's.
 
With tomorrows game being billed as the most important of the tournament thus far I can only see a noose getting tightened,and since India are already through guess who'll be having a sleepless night.
No man, not the Japanese.

Strauss was born in PE, the fact that he represents England and wears the England jersey, he has my full support.

As for the English team, win or lose to no matter who, they still my boys.

Was thinking about you as the final nail was being hammered into the coffin this evening. You must be bleeding dude!

2 upsets in the tournament and both against your team. Eish!

On the flipside, that makes the game against the Windies a do or die, as you have to believe that Bangladesh will beat the Dutch.

Bad idea.They might just get into the habit of losing and make a premature exit in the tournament.Its a must win game for them tomorrow,or were you being sarcastic?
 
I would like to think that the guys can win tomorrow. We need to play with the same intensity as we did during the recent series. Two evenly matched teams, I think it is going to be close.
 
We should've been 3 for 3 but we kinda lost it against England...think we've been the strongest team so far.

Although I dunno how the Tahir situation is gonna affect us going forward.
