Yep, more than capable of being bowled out for under 200 here.

Bump.

Pandya on a hat-trick.

Enjoy your meal, fuck this off.

[Captain Howdy]

Gonna miss most of the next 14 days I’m off to Spain on my holidays, hope England can win this but India definitely the side to beat , when is the final?

14th of July.

India should piss this world cup. An India vs either Australia or England final would be an absolute belter.

At Lord's? Not many decent matches to be had there.

[Jairzinho]

Pakistan only need 110 from the last 2.2 overs.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Quite a thrashing in the end. India looking very good again.

West Indies v Bangladesh

 

Bangladesh won the toss and put the Windies to bat. WI are 6/1 off 4 overs, Gayle out for a duck having faced 13 balls!! Bangladesh bowling with a great length. 

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Weird inning by the Windies. Started off slow and it looked like they'd only get 250. Went ballistic in the middle overs, especially Hetmyer and then Holder. Looked like they'd make 350+. Finished shit though and made 321 /8 off their 50 overs. If Bangladesh have a good start they'll fancy chasing this, big if against the Windies attack mind. 

[Jairzinho]

Looking good here, Bangladesh.

[Bjornebye]

So much for early predictions that the Windies might have a shot at winning this world cup 

[Jairzinho]

Superb stuff from Shakib.

They were great value.

 

Shakib taking them apart in this game isn't evidence of the contrary.

 

Holder hasn't got a clue what to do here.

Windies aren't consistent enough to win this tournament, they are hit and miss like Pakistan. Capable of taking anybody apart if things start well and they have their tails up, then capable of playing like today. Missed most of Bangladesh's run chase but just got back for what looks like an exiting finish. Windies going into this game without a front line spinner was ridiculous. All seam and fast, plus half of them are crocked. Bangladesh should piss it from here, but you never know, one wicket and their nerves might kick in. Huge game for both teams, loser is probably out of the running to make the semi's.

He’s fucking class. 

[Bjornebye]

Completely outwitting them here 

[Jairzinho]

Holder going through the motions.

 

Going to have to gamble with his field soon enough.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Bowling Gayle in this position is just desperation and basically hoping above hope that one of these batsmen make a mistake. So far the batsmen are just batting clever and finding the gaps, way too easy. 

[Jairzinho]

Top class from the fella whose name sounds like a village in Shropshire.

[Mudface]

This is great. Now just play sensibly, no need to take any risks.
