TRO Saracen Mar 2015 9:31am, 2 Mar 2015 10,163 posts	0 TRO Saracen I'll be crapping myself when we play Bangladesh.... Really sums up how diabolical and pointless this tournament is - we'll have been at it for a month and a team as shit as us could still be in the quarter finals!! Ludicrous. Anyone know how the quarter final line up is determined? Is it 1st in A vs 4th in B, 2nd in A vs 3rd in B etc?

Chrisity Mar 2015 12:40pm, 2 Mar 2015 14,256 posts	0 Chrisity That's correct, and the semi=finals would see group A winner tie v group A third place tie. Where and when is a little more complicated icc-cricket.com Good luck with that.

Broad is not quite what he was, perhaps he never will be again. We also need to sort the batting out, especially in the ODIs and we still need a captain, a proper captain....
Doctor K Mar 2015 10:00pm, 2 Mar 2015 3,376 posts	0 Doctor K The one day team is just bobbins at the moment. Coaching is just stats obsessed. Bowling predictable. Batting not aggressive enough. Will Pietersen find a way back? In a few months time anything might be possible.
flanker Mar 2015 11:10pm, 2 Mar 2015 15,642 posts	0 flanker I really hope not. The guy is a complete egomaniac, and they'll never build a team with him the dressing room. And they should be building for the future anyway, not bringing back the old guard. I think Broad is on the decline now. He doesn't seem to have developed any intelligence to his bowling as he's got older, and everyone has worked out that if you can annoy him he'll ditch whatever plan he's supposed to be following and dig it in short, and then it's fill your boots time.
