  • "The fact is that once I was playing again I was automatically available for everything on the schedule and that meant Stanford. I make no apologies for that and, as for the suggestion that I should waive the fee or give it to charity, I don't see why I should be a special case."

    Live chat: West Indies v Bangladesh, Super Eights, Barbados

    By Mike last year, mid-April Leave a comment on this post

    It seems like Bangladesh have had a good World Cup after bashing a couple giants, but find themselves languishing at the footer of the Super Eights table. The West Indies have been highly disappointing in the second stanza having breezed through their pool grouping but they’re also stuck low on two points. As Dileep Premachandran over at CricInfo writes:

    It will have escaped no one’s attention that West Indies are currently level on points with Bangladesh and Ireland, an unacceptable state of affairs in a region that dominated the game for nearly two decades.

    It’s statement time. Brian Lara is in the final breath of his cricketing career and one might hope that the embattled West Indies could dig a couple specials out to end in a way he might deserve. Bangladesh can foil that and go a long way to secure themselves a final six finish. That would be a grand achievement for the nation.

    Good to see Bangladeshi fans celebrating and waving flags after the loss. They are still proud of their team.

    West Indies, England, Pakistan and Indian fans watch: watch how Bangladesh and Ireland fans still applaud their efforts. Good to see in a negative world.

    (Not saying I am not negative, but this is heart warming)

    Another part of dull and boring one-day-cricket this has been.
    If both teams are already out of the tournament the least you could expect is an entertaining day of cricket. (So admittingly the bowling display was pretty good at some stages.)
    If I look at the run-rate the first 30 Overs I start wondering what will be saturdays game like?
    I predict WI chasing Englands total 98/7 after 50 Overs and struggling on 82/6 after 44.5 ;-)
