East Pakistan fought a war of Independence against Pakistan. It is pretty widely accepted that Pakistan military carried out genocide with up to 3 mill killed and 400K women raped.
Declaration of independence was prompted by mass killings against East Bengali dissidents.
Most Bangladeshi's wouldn't have been around 50 years ago but it sounds a bit more serious to me than an underarm incident so guessing it still lingers on the consciousness.

Is that possible?

Underarm could only be topped if the pub simultaneously ran out of beer.

Yep they're not even having a crack. Weird. I'd be pretty pissed if the BCs played like this when needing to boost NRR for a place in the semis. Pakistan really are a mystery and that mystery seems to regularly contribute to them missing out at CWCs...

Can we realistically be knocked out? Or are we in unless we see an Inzamam Ul Huq type innings?

60 off 37 doesn’t really cut it in today’s game.
Also tiny boundaries and Harris and Larsen bowling. Please

Mate don't come at me with your facts and figures.
Inzi's taking the game away from us in '92 was the single greatest innings in an ODI bar none. FACT.

dunno... I'm having a hard time picking between Ponting and Gilchrist. We're taking about innings in a CWC final, right? -
Bangladesh need to be all out for 8 for pakis to knock us from 4th.
Sooo, shall we all barrack for Aus to beat SA on Sunday?
Then we pull off that face saving " what the actual feck" miracle semi win against them, world cricket karma is restored, and normal transmission resumes with India beating us with identical scores as 2015.
Well, that's the best I can hope for ( sort of realistically).
-
do Bangladesh owe Pakistan any favours?
I mean they win the toss, would they put Pakistan in to bat to give them a chance, however slim?

Done and dusted now but chatting to my Doc today who is Pakistani and loves cricket he said the two countries don't get on with Ill feeling hanging over from Partition.
Didn't know what @dogmeat posted

@Siam TBH I'd take an England v NZ final over seeing India win again.
But you'd want to fucking best those Pommy shunts because they'd be slightly more irritating in victory.
@NTA doomsday scenario right there cobber
By the way, that team of yours has done themselves and their supporters proud. They've just gone about their work with a minimum of fuss and have been well lead ( from the front) by an unassuming, yet staunchly "Aussie" captain. Would be worthy champions....again

I don't mind this English side
Still, in order I'll be cheering for:
NZ
Australia
England
Any other thing that prevents India from winning -

I dunno
does six count as too many? 
Finch - in both his leadership and batting form - has been good for this team, and I honestly thought Tim Paine was good during the India test series last summer, even with a couple of flashpoints where he drew Kohli out a little.
Most surprising: Warner has shut the fuck up and let his bat do the talking.
