ICC World Cup 2019 | We are just trying to get everybody ready, reveals Courtney Walsh

With seven points from three games, Bangladesh has had more than a decent World Cup considering the nation’s history in the tournament and have a real chance of making a big splash on the global stage. However, to have any chance of qualifying for the semis, the Tigers need to win their next two games at all costs, while also hoping New Zealand triumph over England.

The pitches were expected to be worn out and get drier as the tournament progresses. However, we witnessed something quite different in the game between India and England. While the Edgbaston pitch was very slow in the earlier matches played during the course of the World Cup, Sunday saw both the teams getting scores of 300-plus with the ball coming very nicely onto the bat, and the surface offering very little for the spinners. 

"We have to assess what's going to happen here in Birmingham. If the wicket's going to turn, then it's best for us to have a spinner bowling earlier as well trying to get an early wicket. So, we'll have a look at the game to see what the wicket has been like today in this game. But obviously with the new ball if there is going to be any swing or movement, we would want the seamers to use it as well. So, I think it's on the day what the surface has to hold and how well we react on the day," the legendary Windies pace bowler added.

The story of captain Mashrafe Mortaza has been no different from the team’s other pacers. The veteran bowler has only one wicket from the six matches they have played in the World Cup so far and has been far from his best with back injuries and niggles in the leg a constant cause of concern. However, Walsh still banks on his experience and has faith in his skills.
