Supporting the Bangladeshis here. They have beating the Aussies once in a T20 WC. They're a real shit shower this time though.

Well they've always been a minnow but have showed the potential to become a cricketing power. They have a population of 165 million cricket fanatics so they'll eventually get there. But they've flattered to deceive over the last couple of years.

They managed wins over both Australia and New Zealand just a few months ago (in Bangladesh), and should have done better than they have in this tournament. They also lost to Ireland just before the World Cup began, and were also beaten by Scotland in the qualifying rounds. They've been rubbish, and appear to have largely given up even trying now.

73 all out, Zampa with 5.

Aus will be looking to knock this off in under 10 overs to get the netRR up up and away.

Yeah that was nagging at me too while we were going at 6 an over. Anyhoo. We now need to smash England and hope that the Windies show a bit of spine against Aus. I suspect they might be in party mode by now though. Poolside with martinis and Russian models in bikinis.

Hoping against hope here, but if 1 or 2 Windies comes of, they have a great chance of winning against Aus.

Yeah - the Windies can't really be arsed with this can they.

The concerning thing for WI cricket - is that they don't seem to have much in the way of youth coming through.

At least we might see the Windies go after a big total - could be some fun fireworks.

Yes, for about 4 or 5 overs Williamson and Conway had been accumulating rather than T-20ing.
Endless string of singles.
Probably sensible, but ...

I'm kinda hoping it ends up as a big bore for NZers.

Let us pray that it eventuates into a boring game.

It'll be interesting to see if Nambia also struggle with the pitch and mistiming their shots.

Not taking anything away from their excellent bowling and fielding, mind.
