Official ICC 2015 CWC thread

Bangladesh 275/7 (50.0 ov)
England 121/4 (26.4 ov)
England require another 155 runs with 6 wickets and 23.2 overs remaining

England RR 4.54
Required RR 6.64

Still quite manageable.
 
That Morgan exit could be a seminal one for England as their World Cup campaign threatens to self-destruct here

Can only blame the shocking management of the team by the ECB et al.
 
Well let's just say that achieving victory from this position would be unlike England
 
England. In 1994 they also didn't qualify for the soccer WC. Come on B'desh
 
No poms. I don't want India facing Bangladesh in the next round because it'll give them an easy win. The poms beat India in the lead-up to the world cup...

If India were still playing like they were then, Bangladesh would've rolled them easily as well.

India is a different beast now. Only Australia and New Zealand can beat them now. And us, if we bat first.

England will only beat us in a playoff now.
 
Einas! 5 down!

Taskin Ahmed to Taylor, OUT, now Taskin gets into act as Taylor threw his hands at this short of a length outside his off stump, with Kayes at slip doing no wrong to snaffle the chance. The stadium bursts into noise as Taylor has to make his exit, with England in real, serious trouble
JWA Taylor c Imrul Kayes b Taskin Ahmed 1 (4b 0x4 0x6) SR: 25.00

England require another 144 runs with 5 wickets and 20.2 overs remaining

Haha, beer louts getting tossed out on their ears is going to make me super-happy :p

Nah they were lucky to be batting first against us and Pakistan. They chased only against the weaker teams, even then they struggled most of the way against the West Indies. This is a world cup of batting first, India is not a different beast...
 
133/5...as much as this sucks for my pick I'd actually love it if England lose this and falls out of the WC
 
England require another 143 runs with 5 wickets and 20.0 overs remaining

England RR 4.43
Required RR 7.15

The RR went over 7 for the first time in the 30th over. Going to take a determined effort to turn the tide against a bouyed up Bangladeshi team.
