Ind are lucky to get BD in the QFs and not England
Although BD are no pushovers and can beat India especially if Shakib et al come to the party.

India do have concerns - Ashwin/Jadeja had a bad day today, although the MCG is a much bigger ground than Wellington.
No 7 position is the weak link and we don't have any firepower in the lower batting order. Hopefully it won't be read in the QFs

Hopefully we bat first and score 330+

The winner of this plays the winner of the Aus V Pak/Ire QF??




Go ireland!!

Go Bangladesh!!!!!

[Dilbert]

Virat, Shikhar,Raina have 100 and 50's,Rohit , Ajinkya and Dhoni have contributed 50 + scores. Bowlers are in relatively much better form. Have India as huge favorites.

Either way India were going to be in the semis.

We would have got more satisfaction in beating Eng, after what happened in the tri-series...

[Durhamfootman]

Should be India

[bigfluffylemon]

MCG has been the best batting wicket in Australia all summer, which will definitely suit India, and has enormous gaps to hit into which make it hard to apply the pressure through slow bowling like Bangladesh did against England and New Zealand. India comfortably.

Time for "Project Minnowbashing "

I'm excited for BD. Clearly, they are just there to make India look good. The duelist scripted to tumble down the castle staircase in the last scene of a story of brave knights. But they have made a good account of themselves and I hope they perish bravely.

I have a feeling that in at least one of the remaining games a side will bat first and make a modest score only for the chasing side to make a hash of the run chase. A statement of the obvious because that's hardly an unusual scenario but the pressure of a run chase in a knock out game could well lead to an upset.
