4 groups of 4 will never happen, was abandoned before after India went out in the group stages.

Decent effort from Scotland scoring 318. Bang dodged a bullet with that chase.

Looks like England vs Bang will be a knockout game.

I don't fancy England will beat Bangladesh. Can see us getting mired down by spinners in the middle.

Yeah, I was thinking it's a good idea more in hope than expectation.  Now the 'big three' have control over who tours where and lining each other's pockets the Associates will be increasingly marginalised.  Someone mentioned the flawed rankings system - why would the top teams play the 'minnows' when they have everything to lose?  They don't get the TV money, which now controls the game, if they win well, it''s no surprise but if they scrape a win or lose they get hammered in the press.

Most players, ex players and fans have an idealogical view on the game being played by more countries and increasing competition.  Sadly those at the top see money and the strong getting stronger as the way forward.  With that attitude back in the 19th and early 20th Centuries only England, Australia and South Africa would be playing international cricket...

Bingo, theres a reason why India have never played Bangladesh in a home test series.  Incredible.

If ENG bowlers bowl tight lines than they can control BAN scoring. Team BAN does not have good bowling. I say ENG has a chance here.

Some of the worst batting I've seen this world cup by smith there. Shocking that he's still in the side

Surely Dwayne Bravo would have been a better option at opening  :D I know he is not known for opening the batting but im sure he would have been a better bet and he can bowl. think this might be a low scoring game  ???

If Gayle sticks around, then WIN have a chance at a big score.

Gayle is a embarrassment. Slogging wildly and feet stuck in concrete. All good and well slogging Zim around but acting like a b!tch against a better team shows he has no fight

WIN lost first two wickets becuase of Gayle - no strike rotation and of course poor shot and poor running.

If Michael Holding were commentating, he'd have torn Gayle a new one . Who stands and watches a ball carry to a catcher without running. Sheesh. Michael Holding, where art thou?

Good bowling by Shami and Yadav. They are cramping up Gayle.
