Kane deserved MOTWC. We are living in snowflake times remember - there should always be a trophy for being a good sport and all round nice guy.

Al Hasan was great but really had no pressure on him because he was basically in a minnow side which was never making the finals.
Uh, a team that has good overall ODI success recently are still 'minnows'. Such BS.

There's tremendous level of expectation from their ODI side (regardless of whether or not they could realistically make a final, ofc), it's certainly not what it used to be two WCs back. Absurd that people are still peddling this 'Shakib has zero pressure' nonsense, which's pretty much always used to downplay his achievements from his early days of success.

Run a ball 30 odd to set a total and taking two fer including the wicket that won the final is the sort of performance Al Hasan could only dream of tbh.

Jeez Craig McDermott had a good WC in 87.

Though no doubt sunilz will tell us Chetan Chauhan should have been player of the tournament.

No there isn't mate. Be realistic. There's tremendous expectation on Australia's WC soccer side too, from Australian soccer supporters. But the rest of the world knows they're never getting out of the group stage. Let's not get carried away with what's expected of them.

You do realise more people watch BD play Zimbabwe than they do the Ashes right

Stiff ****. More people watch Carlton play Freo than watch the Storm play the Roosters. It doesn't mean the former teams have realistic expectations of playing finals compared with the latter two. If people want to watch substandard guff, good luck to them.

This idea of the number of people being invested in a team correlating with expectation of that team performing well is nonsensical.

Of course BD players, especially their greatest ever played who spearheads batting and spin bowling, have enormous pressure of expectation. The cricket world is not limited to Australia and England. Number of people following a team sure as **** matters if we're talking about crazy subcontinent fans. BD were legit a better team than Pakistan for a couple of years. Keep up.
