That dropped catch could make all the difference. Joyce lost the head there.

Leading batsman dropped easily when past the half-century - reminiscent of O'Brien being dropped against England?

**pineapple stu** · 11/03/2011, 9:39 AM

Still ten ahead after 34. But WI had one more poor over and then started racking up the runs, so we need to start going for it soon enough I think. Don't know if it's tactically worth losing the wicket of Wilson to get O'Brien in at the crease?

Not with shots like that from Wilson Stu. Not yet anyway.

Nice from Wilson just when the commentator thought he was on the ropes

**pineapple stu** · 11/03/2011, 9:47 AM

Yeah - 6, 2 and 3 in consecutive balls from Wilson. Can you try that again?

**pineapple stu** · 11/03/2011, 9:52 AM

Make that 6, 2, 3, 2, 2, 4, 4 in consecutive balls from Wilson! This is really on now.

**Noelys Guitar** · 11/03/2011, 9:53 AM

What an over from Wilson. Brilliant stuff.

**Noelys Guitar** · 11/03/2011, 9:56 AM

******. Great innings from Joyce. Touch and go now.

**passinginterest** · 11/03/2011, 9:57 AM

This is it now. Wilson finding his stride and KOB coming in. It's still just about possible.

**geysir** · 11/03/2011, 10:08 AM

Thats put a bit of a dampner on the chase.

**Noelys Guitar** · 11/03/2011, 10:08 AM

Can still win this. As long as Wilson stays in they we have a real chance.

**geysir** · 11/03/2011, 10:10 AM

is this Wilson's first innings at the WC?

**Noelys Guitar** · 11/03/2011, 10:20 AM

Oh Well. And a contentious decision.

**geysir** · 11/03/2011, 10:22 AM

Good riddance to Sammy.

**ArdeeBhoy** · 11/03/2011, 10:51 AM

Good while it lasted. Let's hope we can beat the Dutch/give the Saffas a tight enough game to push for a climb in the next rankings.

But that Banglas game in terms of this and progressing to a Q-F. now or in the future is going to haunt this time round.

Exactly, good effort today, hard luck

Another England game going to the wire - Bangladesh need 17 from the last 21 balls to win.

Edit - make that 12 from the last three overs. 1/3 favourites to win. Two wickets left.

**holidaysong** · 11/03/2011, 3:51 PM

England lose. They're very lucky they beat South Africa now.

**bennocelt** · 11/03/2011, 4:00 PM

Just seen the last few innings (is that what u call them?). Jeez the pair were banging them 4s all over the place. Great world cup so far, enjoying this game of cricket much more than I had imagined I would!! Also find all the cricket commentators - sky/star/espn are top drawer, excellent, humourous, insightful and much better than the dirge we get for football
