CWC Day 13 Thread - Bangladesh V Bermuda

KevIRL

Only game a day from here on in. Not a whole lot to say about this one, big game for Bangladesh as a win will see them through to the Super 8's for the first time.

Thoughts?

Updates here tomorrow.

Marshy

Should be only one winner of this match. Cant see how bermuda could upset bangladesh. They'll need and a dwayne leverock five for... and some more of his brilliant slip catching of course!:D

DMC

or an Indian bookie...

/me runs..

positron

I wonder what Indian team was doing yesterday? Coaching Bermuda team may be? Well, even if they were to play for Bermuda themselves, they probably wouldn't get them thru! It should be a good match today!

End of the day, India is out. Bangladesh worked hard (at least against India - they were brutal against SriLanka), and they deserves to be in Super 8.

Bangladesh won the toss and Bermuda will bat first, if play does start

KevIRL

Bermuda 6-1 (3ovs)

Rain stops play again

13/3 after 7 overs

40-4 at 13 overs

This is so like Leinster Junior Cricket,

No crowd, little atmosphere, crap weather, dragging covers on & off, plenty of hanging around and a similar standard when play does eventually get under way.

tbh the crowds so far have been sh1te

Marshy

Bermuda emerging for the nth time. Chances of no more rain?

They've just said on tv that if it does rain again they'll be back tomorrow but only to finish the 21 over game they're playing now. Seems like a waste of the rain day and a bit unfair to Bermuda( and India)

KevIRL

Bermuda 52/5. Game reduced to 21ovs

KevIRL

Cann with 3 boundaries in a row, then out

Bermuda 73/6

KevIRL

Bermuda 86-7

7 balls left

KevIRL

Ber 94-8

2 balls lef

KevIRL

Bermuda 94-9 (21ovs)

Marshy

94-9 off their 21 ovs. Probably will get a few more off D/L.

KevIRL

Will be interesting to see what target Bangladesh are set off their 21 ovs under D/L

positron

Bermuda should have held on to the last two or three wickets, might have worked in their favor with D/L method.

Marshy

Seems to be no change, 95 needed.

positron

Okay, I give up - I don't understand D/L method. This decision is clearly in favor of Bangladesh (I am not saying that because I support India, Bangladesh deserves a place in Super8) but they, right from the beginning know their target and that there's only 21 overs to play. Bermuda wasted a lot of time assuming that there would be 50/40/30 overs to play.

Ah well, its a mad game anyway!

positron

Oh, looks like Bangladesh would make get all they need in the first over itself - its just going on and on and on...

Marshy

Great catch there! Ban 6-1 now

KevIRL

Ban 25-1

KevIRL

Bang 30-2

KevIRL

Bang 37-3

This could get v interesting....

16 NB in those 37. my god thats terrible, considering mukuddem is currrently on 3 for 8 from 3.1 overs (im on skysports pages, so i assume im probaby about 10-15 minutes behind the actual game )

It's currently only 3nb, but 11 wides and 4 byes. 18 out of 45 are extras. Pretty damn poor.

Royale with Cheese

Bangladesh getting quite lucky here. Have skied the ball a few times and got away with it, had an edge or two go through the gap.

Marshy

Bangladesh through, though quite unconvincing in the run chase. India officially out now.
