2015 World Cup Result : England knocked out of the tournament after a 15 run defeat by Bangladesh

I do not think so.

:msd Knows that you need to beat best to win the Cup.

He won in 2011 by beating two Asian Teams in semi final and final.

Yes, but if you only have to beat the best in 2 games, it's much easier then having to win 3 games.
 
The way they batted and bowled, Bangladesh do not deserve to be in the QF. They will lose this match with 5 overs to spare. There is the likelihood of England vs Afghanistan match getting rained off and that may still allow Bangladesh to reach QF through the back door.
 
I'm sure India is praying for a Bangladesh victory :))

Bangladesh or England, doesnt matter for us neither team is anything special. I wouldnt look too much into the tri series performance against England, that was pure experimentation.

It would be unfortunate.
 
Champions do not look for short cuts.

Nothing to do with shortcuts, it's easier to play 2 games with all your fire and energy then 3. You can pretty much save some energy and effort for the final two games if you play Bangladesh. As opposed to playing battling it out with a bigger team.

You cannot plan these things , also keep in mind India had to top the group to be in this position , and to top the group you need to be at your best from word go.
 
If Eng pull it off it would be the 4th highest successful chase here. So not over yet folks. This is around the time things can get a bit interesting :afridi
 
I'm sure India is praying for a Bangladesh victory :))

Its pakistani fans who are praying for "their team not playing against Australia, NZ, etc" and creating tons of threads on PP.

No Indian Fan is worried about who they are playing against... That shows the confidence! It is your mindset which reads this way...
 
Someone should send this to Ellen.

I got no idea why they're creating those threads :))

The only way we don't play Australia is if WI game gets called off and we lose to Ireland and finish 4th.

Or, if SA lose to UAE, which is not going to happen :)))
 
Even in this match Rubel is faster than all the English bowlers.
 
London_Lahori you here bro? Rubel gets Bell with an absolute snorter. A rising thunderbolt!
 
Rubel is the best bowler I have even seen.
 
Moeen's run out was a big blow, England would have run away with the game had he stayed for 20 overs.

Poor effort by Bell, you have to convert sedate starts into something substantial.
 
wow taylor is so short Standing next to root
imagain he is standing next to irfan
 
I dunno who to cheer for. England seems easier opposition actually at MCG :))

:))) :)))

Beware of the Rubel tiger. Some serious pace going down here, and if Taskin can get over his breakup then he'll be chucking it down at 160 as well :))
 
Root and Taylor the key for Eng. Can't afford to lose a wicket next 10 overs now.
 
I fear Bangladesh more than Pakistan. They at least know how to beat India in the World Cup [MENTION=31948]hur rizvi[/MENTION]
 
We should have picked Tajiul instead of Rubel, Rubel has been disappointing

Nice anti jinx:inti

Now two real Englishmen out in the middle. Can they do what the imports could not?

And I must say that after this WC, ECB would be more then happy to export Morgan back to Ireland:asif
 
Congratulations to all Pakistanis for finally beating South Africa in a World Cup match. 8 years after Bangladesh. :))
 
Is there a player called Soumya Sarkar in Bangladesh team :shocked
That is supposed to be a girl's name!
