Bangladesh Loses Match, Wins Hearts

Bangladesh almost had England in their grip, but let go towards the end.

Nevertheless, another impressive performance by the spirited tigers to justify their presence in Super 8's - although it wouldn't help them anymore for entry into the semi finals.

England were listless and almost as bad as India were in their loss to Bangladesh.

To give the credit where it is due, Bangladesh bowlers - both seamers and spinners bowled well, while England batted poorly to be staring down the barrel at 110/6.

All in all, England were lucky enough to have their Man Friday Collingwood still at crease - and to me, his 23 n.o. today is far superior than any of Tendukar's centuries.

Yeah, Tigers were indeed roaring.

his 23 n.o. today is far superior than any of Tendukar's centuries.. Why do you say so ?

Hi Cuckoo,

Actually, I would like to take it back. It was an emotional comment, not a logical one! I meant to convey that a winning knock of 23 is much more valuable than a century that does not help in wining a match.
