Would be disappointing if we don't win this tbh

 

[CricAddict]

Says the plight of Sri Lanka that no one has voted for them so far in a poll for contest vs Bangladesh. Fallen big time and it is a pity.

Haven't followed SL team news much recently. Why is Gunaratne not in team? He is a useful allrounder, right?

 

[smalishah84]

I have voted for them, i get a feeling they will sink the bangers

 

[mr_mister]

Another washout likely.

Also, apparently Shakib has a quad strain

 

[Zinzan]

Hard to be excited about this one as a neutral, given it feels meaningless with both teams effectively having no chance of making the play-offs.

 

[trundler]

Another washout likely.

Both teams must be feeling right at home, then.

I'm not writing off Bangladesh entirely yet. I guess their bowling realistically isn't good enough regardless of their results so far but losing to England and NZ isn't a death sentence. If they drop a point here due to the weather it'll be very hard for them though.

 

[vcs]

Bangladesh showed some decent fight in both their losses. Too early to write off their chances given the teams they've lost to.

 

[Spikey]

yeah thanks england

Maximum of 13 degrees over there. Isn't it supposed to be summer?

 

[Chipper Roberts]

The weather at the moment is shocking, even by UK summer standards. A big depression hanging over the country and refusing to budge. Not much will change for the next 10 days or so by the looks of it. I optimistically bought a new bbq over a week ago, and it's still unboxed.

Hampshire's county championship match at Nottinghamshire has already been called off for the day - one hour before it was scheduled to start!!

been around for like 2 years now iirc

 

[straw man]

universally panned SL side to make the semis on the back of 6 rain-outs and one timely win against India in July - yhihf

Worst WC ever.

 

[Howe_zat]

Dire.

 

[CricAddict]

It really is dire when Howezat himself is upset about it.

 

[Pratters]

bloody rain

Had a thumb fracture two years back and has never been himself since.
