East Pakistan fought a war of Independence against Pakistan. It is pretty widely accepted that Pakistan military carried out genocide with up to 3 mill killed and 400K women raped.
Declaration of independence was prompted by mass killings against East Bengali dissidents.
Most Bangladeshi's wouldn't have been around 50 years ago but it sounds a bit more serious to me than an underarm incident so guessing it still lingers on the consciousness.

So..... that means they will bat if they win the coin toss?

So I guess there will be no 'deals' then?

Pakistan "won" the toss and are batting. The fix is on.

So Fakhar blithers his way to 13 off 30, then hits out meekly to the field on his 31st delivery.
He could open the batting for us...
It wouldn't require me to change what I've been calling our openers if he did defect and open for us.

Hadn't thought about it like that
That point has already been made in this thread. To play the other side, if they had beaten the Windies then they would be in the semis - simple as that.
Yeah but I don't read all your kiwi drivel about Cricket - after you get a whole page of worshipping Kane's genitals it is kind of worth skipping to the end.

@Bones
They beat Afghanistan, you are probably thinking of the warm up game.Earlier in the tournament we were being called lucky and I was thinking that if we are consistently lucky then it ain't luck. After the last 3 games I'm a bit more happy to accept the luck factor.

Underarm could only be topped if the pub simultaneously ran out of beer.
