Bangladesh should sign up some of those stone throwers.

They got Chris Gayle's attention.

West Indies team bus stoned in Dhaka

Anyone else see "West Indies" and "stoned in Dhaka" and think it that was a completely different story?

Clearly we will win the world cup now.

seriously though,Taylors was a huge knock but was dropped by Akmal on 0 or 1 .Standard snick to the keeper.And Jamie How is total shit at this level.4 off 28 before being out about as plumb as you can get.
Good win.Finally

Top of the table now. Who knows, if NZ can pull off a miracle vs SL, we could seriously qualify in style.

Taylor showed why he was being persisted with. He is a genuinely good batsmen, and the closest we have to a world class player. Glad to see him hit some form, but really looks like kamran will be under fire again.

Whats this SA beat india. Their group looks a lot more interesting than NZ's one, which is looking like a straight forward qualify for the test teams.

So, who thinks England will be out of the World Cup after tonight's game? I think they'll win this one but I'm hoping for the opposite result.

meh, at that level any player should know the conventions about calling for a catch and the man coming forward. The guy is under immense pressure he hasnt ever felt in his career before as up until recently hes played int eh best team in the world, I see something like this as less offensive or as a lesser display of poor sportsmanship than someone making an over the top celebration of a wicket or giving a batsman a send off.

Ponting love him or hate him (and im no fan of the smug little prick, dont get me wrong)  is a great cricketer and Smiths behavior is what youd expect to see from a 10 year old, not a professional in a world cup.  THe big fuss over this is just tall poppy syndrome IMO.

I think it is more that people expect a certain amount of composure from such an experienced player, and are disappointed when he fails to display it.

That was a real shocker from the 3rd umpire. You must wonder what goes through their heads when they make these calls. That being said, mccullum really didn't need to get all worked up about, and he definitely didn't need to hassle jaywardene for questioning the catch, as he was well within his rights. People need to take this notion of walking out of their minds. When was the last time you saw a bowler call back a batsmen, when he was wrongly out.

Also game went as planned. We bowled pretty well, but unless we got them for under 220, we were never going to chase it down.

Well lets hope Aussie beats Pakistan, otherwise we will be playing India in the 1/4's.

Mind you I don't think it really matters who we play, we will lose
