Today is one of the most important games in the World Cup so far, with the English needing to beat the West Indies to avoid an early and rather embarrassing exit from the tournament.
Should England lose today, they will not continue to the quarter finals and Bangladesh will make their way into the play offs. Should England win, Bangladesh would have to beat South Africa on Saturday to qualify.

@klempie (Comment 12) : So what does that make Pietersen? Apart from a turncoat, of course?
@SharonvanWyk (Comment 14) : Never heard him speak a word of Afrikaans. Soutie he is. :p

Are u guys… Sorry… And ladys whatcing the game, looks like england might better the score the got against SA. Does the pitch look so bad as when we played?
come on windies dont let them get 200
And did those feet, in ancient time, fail to make the wickets in time… And was the holy Lamb of God on Englands pleasant pastures kakking… And did the countenance divine, shine forth upon the Windies bowlers? And was Jerusalem builded here, among Chennai’s hot and sweaty hills?
Bring me my bale of burning gold, bring me my Yorker of desire.
Bring me my catch: O clouds unfold! Bring me my LBW of fire!
I will not cease from boundary blocks, Nor shall my ball sleep in my hand: Till the Windies build Jerusalem, with England’s useless batsmen’s helmets.

@McLovin (Comment 44) : @Jarson (AddicteD) (Comment 45) : I need them to get 223!
@Greg (Comment 47) : 224 for me.
2 of the top 3 in our pool went for a Windies win.
@McLovin (Comment 49) :
That could either be genius or could work in our favour!
@Richard Ferguson (Comment 50) : Only thing that could work in my favour is if the top 20+ picked the Windies and they lose. 😆
@McLovin (Comment 51) :
Haha..
But you will see that the play off games will force the field to split, and you can make up positions so quick!
@Richard Ferguson (Comment 52) :
Or drop to the depths..
@McLovin (Comment 51) : More like the top 25 😛
