Two really good matches today. The end of this one is cracking. Bangladesh trying to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
The last few balls have been ridiculous, why have they been trying to hit sixes when they need 2 runs to win. Mental. Well they fucked that right up. Unbelievably bad cricket by Bangladesh.Nudge a single ffs.
How you can get caught on the boundary when you need 2 runs from 3 balls is beyond me. Fucking retarded. They deserve to lose because of itThe last few balls have been ridiculous, why have they been trying to hit sixes when they need 2 runs to win. Mental. Well they fucked that right up.

Twice! and even the run out he was trying to twat it when he should have just tried to get something on it.How you can get caught on the boundary when you need 2 runs.
He didn't even fucking run after missing it either! He stood around waiting for a call! It didn't matter in the end as the other batsmen was run out, but how can you not realise that you should run in that situation? Horrendous game management from Bangladesh, which is a shame as they'd been brilliant up to those last 3 balls.Twice! and even the run out he was trying to twat it when he should have just tried to get something on it.
It was all a bit farcical, but it was a very good game to watch, when the first guy was out needing 2 from 3 balls, you could understand it, but for his partner who was in and batting well, to follow suit the next ball was stupid to say the least.Just watching The Verdict now (didn't see the game live); that must be the ultimate fuck up by Bangladesh. 2 runs off 3 balls to win, 1 run to get to the super over, and they manage to lose. Trying to clout the ball out of the ground when a couple of nudged singles would have seen them home. Talk about snatching defeat from the jaws of victory!
It's a fix. The only hope is that Australia beat India on Sunday, otherwise the game will slide further into disrepute. As matters stand, NZ and WI deserve to be in the final. At least the Pak and Bangla players will have nice cars to drive around in.Just watching The Verdict now (didn't see the game live); that must be the ultimate fuck up by Bangladesh. 2 runs off 3 balls to win, 1 run to get to the super over, and they manage to lose.

Afridi's time is up which is a pity. A great entertainer.Pakistan well beaten and sent packing, Afridi comes up stuck against good sides like when we best them in the 2014 final.
I can see ZA beating WI and making it very interesting for the 'Universe Boss'.
TBF the Windies look like the best team in the competition.Chockers saf have fucked up
My thoughts exactly.It's a fix. The only hope is that Australia beat India on Sunday, otherwise the game will slide further into disrepute. As matters stand, NZ and WI deserve to be in the final. At least the Pak and Bangla players will have nice cars to drive around in.
I agree...and this has been fantastic world cup with majority of matches being closed..There is no way Bangladesh threw that game. The two guys got out trying to hit big sixes to win the game, and the last guy was run out by a couple of inches.
If England beat Sri Lanka tomorrow and Australia qualify over India it would be a really bizarre couple of semis without an Asian side in it.
It hurts to have some cynicism for the game. I just can't help it.Sad thing is that I don't like cricket, I love it...
