Super Eight

Ashraful needs to be the no.3 for Bangers instead of Ahmed.

Completely agree. 6 is ridiculous for arguably their second best player.

Big Jake and Lil Baz combo strikes again.

Oram is getting his bowling mojo back fo' sho'

Omar gone now Bangers have throw away whatever advantage they had.

 

[silentstriker]

Hmm, he walked. I'd dock the pay of anyone who walks.

Rahim would have batted three I think if Javed Omar hadn't have been playing. It's worth a go with Ashraful, but he continually throws away poor positions and, as his batting against Australia the other day showed, cannot be trusted. To lost an early wicket and then be two down due to some stupidity is undesirable.

That said, Aftab generally does all of the above anyway. Saqibul is probably the best long term candidate for the position.

Getting stumped off a seamer is the new cool thing to do it seems.

And McCullum didn't even take it cleanly either.

Saqibul to score 50 IMO.

Was thinking the same.

Aftab clips Vettori sweetly off his legs for four. He could be sooo good...

Has Fleming gone mad he is comparing Ahmed with the great Arvinda De Silva.

And another crackerjack of a stroke down the ground. I really really hope these two stay in.

That implies he wasn't mad to start with

He didn't really compare them - he just said he reminded him of him. Murray Johnson from my cricket side last year reminded me of Corey Richards but he obviously wasn't nearly as good - he just had a similar style about him.

 

[pup11]

Oram is really bowling very smartly, he is mixing up his pace and lengths very well. Big Jake is back with the ball too.

Styris cannot get a wicket here, my cricket.com.au Dream Team chances depend on it. Cannot have my mate beat me, and Styris is killing it for him.

Haha, really wasn't expecting that post - genuine lol.

 

[Prince EWS]

Knew Saqibul was going to do that - could see it in his eyes.

 

[pup11]

Bangers gaining some momentum now, they just need to get a good score on the board now.

 

[PY]

Oh dear Aftab....oh dear.

 

[pup11]

Ahmed gone, idiotic shot from an idiotic player.
