Unless someone did one already? Thought it might be easier to just have one thread and keep bumping it rather than making one for each game.
Anyone watching England-Bangladesh? England all out for 225, Bangladesh about to reply.

Below par with the bat again! Only a repeat performance from the SA game will keep us in this one.
Disappointing - let's see what we can do with the ball...
Remember Bangladesh got 58 last time out, but anything could happen tbh 🙂
looking good for Bangla at the moment, lovely start!
Iqbal out! - key wicket - was starting to look ominous for England. Need a couple more quick wickets to really put the pressure on.
50 up in 8 overs - this good be embarrassing 😯
Another one - desperately needed.
GAME ON!!
Banga are on course to win this.
We need a number of wickets now.
Is no one else suffering this defeat with me.
Its not over yet! I'm watching in the bath 🙂
Thats a little to much grum.
😆
Game on, again!
2 wickets in three balls. There's lovely for you!
😯
Whoooooooooooooooooooooo
Been sat in a meeting for the last hour wondering what was going on - now this 🙂
Where was he putting that ball!!!!!!!!!!!
What bat - im only on the bbc live text?
All results are on here!
37 from 42 balls
They can do this.
Oh dear oh dear Anderson is throwing this away.
My money is on this going to the last ball.
Well, at least we're making the 50 over game exciting again!
33 extras - thats where we have lost this...
My money is on this going to the last ball.
not quite... 😆 8)
Well, at least we're making the 50 over game exciting again!
Indeed! Have loved every England game of the tournament so far...
Top top effort from that last pair, a really good game of cricket 🙂
Shocking result yesterday - I blame Anderson for losing the plot. Well played Bangladesh - Islam was amazing at the end with all those boundaries.
Anyone following India vs SA? Shaping up to be an exciting finish. India still in the driving seat but everything is possible.
good game! the locals are not very happy at all.....
Sounds like some top hitting there from Peterson, shall have to watch the highlights this evening (at work now 🙁 )
I blame Anderson for losing the plot
He had a part to play, shocking final over from him (what's his problem eh? guessing he's missing home and his bub, fair enough I guess...) but I'd lay the blame squarely with your batsman to be fair, they should've scored a lot more against the Bangla attack surely?
Probably right pychle but they were in such a good position to win with 8 wickets down, Bangladesh looked like they had bottled it and Anderson let the pressure off completely. Two of Shahzad's wickets were awesome though, totally unplayable.
India threw it away even worse today I reckon, was it 9 wickets for 27 runs? 😯
Big game today folks - must win for England. Last I read Shahzad was out, which is a shame as he was awesome in the last game.
Can't believe no-one else is following this.
Prior gone after a great start - really don't think he is an opener.
Working stream here btw - http://tykestv.info/
i cant read cricinfo and stw at the same time
Really? I have about 6 browser tabs open all the time that I flick between, while watching the live feed on another laptop. Probably why I have no attention span any more 🙂
Bell doing his usual 50 odd strike rate... lucky Trott is motoring along!
Trott gone - terrible shot, very soft way to go.
I spoke too soon! 🙂
Well that was tempting fate, psychle. 🙁
Ah you beat me to it!
Collapse is on - start the plane England!
That's that then. Bye bye.
Still in this thanks to Wright 🙂
Edit: cursed him!
Man, that's two coincidences in one game! someone posts, then the player gets out... spooky!
Somehow we are managing to make something out of this dreadful position. Let's home it is a good wicket for our guys.
Lets just not mention any names, ok?
Could be another close game here - 243 isn't great but it's just about respectable
home = hope
Scorching start from the Windies... looking ominous for England here!
How crap are england at the one day game?
Selection is inept, tactics are old-fashioned and inexplicable and the skill seems to have gone on holiday.
Gayle was humiliating us, thank god he's gone. This could still go to the wire imo - not that we really deserve to go through given how inconsistent we are.
Good to see that TJ is as all knowing about cricket as everything else. If only you were the selector 😉
Clubber - opening with Prior? Why? Its an Experiment that has failed
bowling selection in the last couple of games?
Only 4 bowlers today?
Come off it - its an inept performance. Poor selection and tactics
Game on!!
(agree Prior is never an opener though.)
Given that England are the twenty20 world champions I think it's pretty clear which form of the short game has been sacrificed.
Just looking forwards to the summer test matches now
could even save this one
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
interesting, mucho interesting... Windies trying hard to c0ck this up! Though, remember they have changed their batting lineup and have (had?) 2 top-order batsman in reserve, don't they?
Still think england could pull this off! Just wish I could watch it, anyone got a link to it online (that you don't have to be in the UK for it work)?
The one that grum posted this morning works, ben.
Spot on, thanks
Pollard dropped, could cost us the game.
tail end left
Pollard gone! Drop cost 16 runs though. Is it still going to be the difference?
Let's hope not! At least he's gone this time...
It's looking like another nailbiter!
when the 8th bangladesh wicket fell, i thought it was all over and went home
i need to head off soon to prepare for tonights ride
160/6
Come off it - its an inept performance.
Yep it does outwardly look that way, doesn't it.
Poor selection and tactics
Maybe but probably not. At a basic level, sports are pretty simple. Cricket - hit/deflect/avoid ball as approriate, throw ball or catch ball. OK there are nuances (fielding placement, bowling combinations etc) but if any team fails to perform at the level it could or should then it's far more likely to be an issue of psychology (why do batting collapses happen? There's no logical reason) than the tactics or order. And as to selection, you don't know all the reasons behind them - even decisions that may outwardly look bad often have good justification when you're in posession of all the information.
Either way, your suggestion that you know more about it than people who I have no doubt have order of magnitutes more experience and knowledge to draw on than you is as silly as all the footie muppets who drone on about how they know how to win the world cup.
clubber - just watch the filum
4-4-f***in-2
it must be the same for cricket, give or take...
not looking good now
222-7
You have gotta be joking me!! Sarwen out, 2 wickets remain with 20 odd to get, rank tailenders to try and finish it off for the Windies... Going to very close now, game swings back to England...
EDIT - Another wicket... bloody hell...
spoke to soon
223/9
As I've said before, you can't accuse England of making the 50 over game boring!
*holds breath*
Bonkers
😀
skin of their teeth, again... good luck to 'em in the next big match! 😉
BOSH!
blimey 😯
WELL DONE that was close
😯
Entertaining stuff, but I wish they were more consistant!
Too close!!!
You beauties 🙂
