      And to think they had the Ashes schedule brought forward to allow them ample time to prepare...

        Just as well they got rid of KP, seeing as he was the only thing wrong with the team.

              I just got home from Adelaide Oval, and can barely talk. Was sitting in the middle of a group of very happy and joy our bangladeshis. Brilliant night!

                Bangladesh got a scare tonight from one of the minnows.
                Does this mean England have to qualify with the other associate teams?

                  The scheduling of the Ashes was altered to allow England 6 months of uninterrupted one day cricket as a World Cup buildup, that's why we had the back to back series.
                  England and Australia are to play back-to-back Ashes series in 2013 and 2014 to avoid a clash with the 2015 World Cup in Australia.

                      That dropped catch with 20 balls to go I thought was their savour. It wasn't

                        Disgraceful world cup from England.

                        Only two batsmen made (very slightly) more than 200 runs for their 5 matches.

                        And they had no bowlers with an economy rate of less then 5.25 (NZ have 5, Australia 4 - below that mark). And the only time any of their bowlers took more than 2 wickets in an innings - was when Finn got 5/71 v Australia (so he got smashed and got a handful of late wickets when we were throwing the bat in the last over).

                        Put simply - they had no individual stand up for the tournament.

                            There was a bit of discussion about how good Sangakarra is on here, any changed minds?

                                Wasn't the central premise of the debate that his record is inflated by piling on huge scores against minnows in artifically doctored conditions for batsmen?

                                Not sure centuries against Bangladesh, Scotland, and a pitiful England in matches where 350+ is a par score does much to dispel that. His hundred against Australia was good, then again Australia made nearly 400 batting first.
