India v Bangladesh

Not open for further replies.

Not too sure why Bangladesh put them in. You would think given the gulf in class between the 2 sides, you would bat first, try and get a competitve total and attempt to put them under pressure under the lights, not give the best batting line up in world cricket free reign to smash your bowling attack all over :lol:
 
It's a coward's decision to bowl first. Especially on a pitch as flat as that and against a batting line up as strong as that.

Not that I'm complaining. A tidy 175 for the captain of my fantasy team. :cool:
 
Imrul Kayes is murdering the Indian attack at the minute. :eek:

Tamim only has 7 from 13. Looks in woeful touch.

EDIT: Well, there goes that. :lol:
 
pathetic attempt this, no risks taken, no big shots attempted since Kayes got out

20 overs left 10runs an over to get with 8wickets remaining got to play a 20/20 game form here

It is becoming a bit pitiful like, only reason I can give is maybe they are trying to protect net run-rate (although I'm not sure if it's even applicable in this tournement)

yes I noticed this last month in their series vs SA. I think they have taken the dress code a bit to far TBH must be bloody hot as well

I think you maybe right IMO if it is then they need to do away with this and if teams finish on equal points then it will go to the results between the two sides or a bowl off because this just isn't a spectacle right now.

Seems fair to me. I think Bangladesh did a similar thing in the Asia Cup a few months ago, Pakistan racked up a big total and Bangladesh didn't bother to have go at all. At least they came out guns blazing here although still a shame for the game of cricket they seem to have thrown the towel in quite quickly and meekly.
