    India crawling along 78/3 after 21.

    Atherton suggesting 270 would be "competitive".

    India will do quite well to get to that.

    Going by Eng batting of late, 78 might be enough

    and it wasn't far off..seriously just shows how much of cricket is mental

    Bangladesh look like they've got some problems - a decent proportion of their runs coming from Mahmadullah, Mushfiqur and Shakib, who are aged 37, 36 and 36.

    As for tonight's game...

    indeed, i've seen some woeful England teams in my time, but never seen one so stacked with talent (except for the bowling perhaps) just fundamentally switch off and mentally go to the beach (outside of Ashes series in Aus)

    Maxwell fell off a golf cart and will miss the England game.

    What's the bet it's the only game the Poms get up for?

    Not sure yet. He may have proved useful after all.

    As long as his brother is nowhere near the side...

    Mendis and Latham must really hate their bowlers this week. India 193/2 after 30 overs...

    @NTA Holy shit, that's the sort of scoreboard you see in schoolboy cricket.

    India make 357.

    Both SL openers make golden ducks - as does no. 7.

    4 and 8 also make ducks.

    3 and 5 each make 1.

    They're at times 2/3, 3/4, 14/6 and 29/8.

    After India made 357!!! 🙂

    Fuckers will probably beat us in the final round!

    @Chris-B yeah that reminds of a 40 over game I played at club level where we put 427 on them and bowled them out for 45. Outrageous scorecard for the professional game.

    So the decision by SL to bowl first was a good one for the fans, because then at least they got to see one full innings of play.

    Had they batted first it would have all been over in 25 overs.

    I'm not sure the fans would have cared. Most of them are supporting India. They'll take bowling out the opposition in two overs for 0 and then a first-ball 6 to win.

    @NTA The first ball 6 is a bit extravagant - I'm sure they'd settle for a first ball wide down the leg side as well.

    Ironically that would be an even worse defeat as they'd win the game having faced 0 legitimate deliveries...

    Oz in a bit of early trouble. 61/2 after 13 overs.

    Wee Davey and Travis both out cheaply.

    With Max having fallen out of a golf cart and Mitchmarsh gone home, that's their top four batsmen at the tournament out of commission in this game.

    Need plenty from those needing some form.
