It can at best be marginal.

Hammered by India today.

It's not even news anymore. It's far more of a surprise if they win a game.

The Giles era is coming together perfectly.

Losing to Ireland in the last match would be an appropriate way to round it off.

by Henry Wed 19 Mar 2014, 23:24

Moeen Ali- One over, four runs, doesn't bowl again. Bresnan gets three overs and goes at 10 an over, Dernbach three overs at nine an over, Jordan four overs at nine an over....Shambles.

They're biding their time, waiting to unleash Ali at just the right moment...

Was watching the game. I have to say that (in the shorter versions) our batting line up seems to go on forever when you know there's Dhoni to come in at some stage. And when he's not in the team, it seems to halve.

I hope after Modi is elected as PM at some point, and the venally corrupt congress under that Italian pimp and pimp-let is booted out, we may just be able to finish off the scourge of betting from International Cricket.

And yet we're still relying on Kholi to get all of the runs.

Thank you Nepal for giving me a great conversation starter tomorrow for the gorgeous Nepalese girl who works at the cafe next to my work!

And well done Nepal on beating Afghanistan, of course....

by PeterCS Thu 20 Mar 2014, 13:47

Aye. Afghanistan got off to a bad start against Nepal. And left themselves with a mountain to climb. ...

Better luck with your mounting efforts tomorrow, Trev. If you succeed, we can start to call you Treverest.

btw: The Nepalese opener Sagar Pun is a play on words waiting to happen.

With all this getting hammered, has anyone invited Fred?

by OP Tipping Thu 20 Mar 2014, 14:06

Two wins for Nepal, how about that

by OP Tipping Thu 20 Mar 2014, 15:40

Dear lord, Bangers struggling against HK?

If they lose this badly, Nepal might go through.

by PeterCS Thu 20 Mar 2014, 15:55

Don't worry. Wheels hurtling off the HK bandwagon.

by lardbucket Thu 20 Mar 2014, 19:17

HK win!

by tricycle Thu 20 Mar 2014, 19:46

Weird day....

by Nath Thu 20 Mar 2014, 20:16

Bangers scrape through

by Big Dog Thu 20 Mar 2014, 22:33

Bloody minnows are making a mess of my tipping.

Zimmers thrash UAE to leave the Irish needing to beat the Dutch to qualify ahead of them, Holland an outside chance of going through with a big win.

Ireland losing momentum in the middle after a strong start.

by beamer Fri 21 Mar 2014, 10:54

A late Irish onslaught means the Frames are relying on Holland chasing an improbable 190.

by beamer Fri 21 Mar 2014, 11:41

Well, maybe not so improbable, 91 scored off the powerplay! A case of "Sylhet Bang", perhaps...

by lardbucket Fri 21 Mar 2014, 11:45

and three for 9 lost after that start

by beamer Fri 21 Mar 2014, 11:57

Ed Joyce really made to pay for dropping Tommy Cooper early on... another barrage of sixes and now Zimbabwe are under threat from another direction!

by beamer Fri 21 Mar 2014, 11:59

Cooper goes, but too late for Ireland, a few sighs of relief in Mugabeland.

by WideWally Fri 21 Mar 2014, 12:11

Now that is REAL cricket.

Well done, the Netherlands.
