Group B - Sri Lanka, India, Bangladesh, Bermuda

[Turbinator]

Around 260-270 would be a safe total imo.

 

[Majin]

Bugger.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

HUGE wicket! Bangladesh are genuinely ahead now.

 

[Prince EWS]

Great flight and loop there from Razzak. Well deserved wicket.

Might start a religion, tbh.

Razzak picks up Tendulkar in his first over!!!!

 

[Adamc]

Haha, this is awesome. I thought Bangladesh would be able to put pressure on India if they batted first, but never expected them to pull out a bowling performance like this. Couldn't ask for anyone better than Dravid in this situation mind you, wouldn't be surprised if he hangs around till the end.

I know this is a bit rich to say, but excellent spell of bowling India had to face at the start should (providing they actually go on in the WC which is not guaranteed) do them some good. Mortaza and Rasel bowled wonderfully, and whilst Sehwag is a dickhead, Ganguly has played well and seen through it. They just have to settle now and forget about powerplays and what not, just play their own game properly.

Bangladesh have been awesome though, they were so clearly pumped up for this game.

 

[Jono]

I'll be honest, I am scared .

Its your fault

 

[pup11]

Rafique would be the key for Bangladeshis because if he can also put pressure and take a few wickets then India would be in deep trouble.


Meanwhile Ganguly slaps Razzak for a 4.

Yup, true, it will help them. Honestly though, it'll take a lot out of the Bangladeshis to still win this one.

Its your fault

Plus I'd rather everyone understand the crapness of Sehwag now, and how he shouldn't be in the team (or opening at the very least) in the group stages than in a more important match-up.

 

[silentstriker]

I will never understand what Sehwag is still doing on this team. Regardless of what happens in this particular match, it is clear that certain players are past their expiration date and we need to use the series in England as a brand new start for Indian cricket, with at least 2-3 new players getting a shot.

Assume Bangladesh wins. There won't be any more important match-ups then...

 

[pasag]

Massive! Dravid out! Rafique!

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Wouldn't have given that one myself. Bangladesh on fire though.

 

[Adamc]

Wow, huge wicket.

 

[Majin]

This is both soul destroying from an Indian fan viewpoint and awesome from a Bangladesh cricket viewpoint. :{

SS closing in on the 10,000, would be ironic/awesome if it happened in an ODI thread. Also LOL at you quoting yourself all over your sig.

 

[Turbinator]

Don't worry we won't lose.
