Is Shakib really serious about his game Kriterion? Unbelievably poor shot selection and complete lack of game awareness from someone who is playing his 5th World Cup. Messed up what was turning out to be a very good recovery. That's criminal.

And this fellow has also kept Tamim Iqbal out of the team.

I honestly think the BCCI are deliberately sabotaging the tournament to further weaken ODI Cricket which of competes competes for time and money with their precious IPL.

11/11 one sided games in a 10 team World Cup which was supposed to be 'Competitive' with 10 teams.

Only Pak-SL was some what competitive.

This is turning out to be the worst ever, going by the games we've seen so far.

India - Pakistan game today, this has been a very low profile and boring World Cup so far, and very poorly managed. This game can change all that though.

Finally some excitement around the World Cup for this game.

Yeah he's serious but Shakib has always played like that. He's often thrown it away in critical moments, although he's also won Bangladesh many games with his bat. But almost every Shakib dismissal looks ugly because he has virtually no orthodox cricketing technique.

Too excited for this clash. Hopefully it's close, I think India are too strong.

What's the point of these teams holding kids hands as they walk onto the field? Seems to be all sports.
It's bullshit.

If each guy had a smoking hot chick it would be a lot more interesting.

If the stadium doesn't fill then 50 over cricket is in trouble.
