Nonetheless, you could re-play that game and India would win it probably 19 times out of 20.They were outplayed today. It wasn't a freak play or two. Bangladesh were the better team, simple.

Really....Why's that then?Nonetheless, you could re-play that game and India would win it probably 19 times out of 20.
Course they do Richard....You just keep believing that.Err, because India have by far the better side?
Maybe, but I think you could also say that Bangladesh would have beaten 9 out of 10 sides the way they bowled yesterday, imo.Nonetheless, you could re-play that game and India would win it probably 19 times out of 20.
Oh, quite. That was almost without dobut the best bowling performance Bangladesh have ever put in. Not surprising, either - Razzak, Mortaza and Rafique are all more than decent bowlers, and they all had excellent figures.Maybe, but I think you could also say that Bangladesh would have beaten 9 out of 10 sides the way they bowled yesterday, imo.
No wonder you don't like ODIs, you know nothing about them.No, because Gilchrist is not inconsistent.
No, they've been playing top-ranking teams since the 1980s. They've still been being annhailated in their games against the ODI-standard sides right up to this Cup (you saw the Champions Trophy, I presume?), and they remain massively inferior to the top 8. I'd be surprised if we see a performance as good as yesterday's for quite some time.I'm not "championing them from the rooftops".I am merely disagreeing with your assumption that India have by "far the batter side" which they most defenitely don't.They won only there "4th game of any significance" because most of the time they are playing the associates.
.So you're saying yesterday was a freak result?No wonder you don't like ODIs, you know nothing about them.
Quoted the wrong SS post..So you're saying yesterday was a freak result?
It was a freak outcome - Bangladesh playing better than a team which would normally be massively superior WAS a freak happening..So you're saying yesterday was a freak result?
Ireland v Pakistan was a freak outcome.Bangladesh beating India was most certainly not.You could call India "massively superior" to Scotland/Holland but defenitely not Bangladesh.They are going to be a real force in 2-3 years in the one day game IMO.It was a freak outcome - Bangladesh playing better than a team which would normally be massively superior WAS a freak happening.
Come back to reality from your dream land.It was a freak outcome - Bangladesh playing better than a team which would normally be massively superior WAS a freak happening.
That's why I say'd 2-3 years...Their side is not yet as good as you paint them.
So you keep saying...If you were to play that game again 20 times in the next month, India would win probably about 19 of those occasions.
Bangladesh has three to four young bowlers waiting to get national call.That's huge overestimation of the timeframe.
When Rafique retires, presumably after this Cup, that'll make Mortaza and Razzak, possibly, their decent bowlers. Then Shahriar Nafees Ahmed and 1 or 2 others in the batting.
Their side is not yet as good as you paint them.
