GROUP A -South Africa, West Indies, Bangladesh

[Prince EWS]

Kapali's innings would have to be one of the worst ever in Twenty20 statistically...

 

[Days of Grace]

He was the only one that realised that it wasn't a 10 over game.

lol at Mortaza once again. Never seen anything like it.

 

[Prince EWS]

He was the only one that realised that it wasn't a 10 over game.

Indeed. He thought it was a timeless test.

Wow we scored 144 with Kapali playing the role of Javed Omar? All the guy has to do is play run a ball cricket and we have 170 easy. Time to Bing in Juniad and Nazimuddin will bring the goods vs Australia

Not a bad effort from Bangladesh at all, although they could've done much better if Alok Kapali didn't consign himself to the Omar role within the side. Good knock from Aftab, but the batsmen looked a bit reckless, they have to realise that it's very important to bat out 20 overs. Nazimuddin needs some runs though, after being the best in the warm-ups he's fallen rapidly.

Gutsy knock from Smith, I admire the man so much. One of the leading contenders for best international Twenty20 bastman?

I think Jayasuriya is the man to beat.

I think Jayasuriya is the man to beat.

I'd back Smith to score more often, but Jayasuriya to score more and faster.

 

[Athlai]

On the international circuit so far Jayasuriya's hit 3 50's from 4 matches, the match he didn't hit 50 he hit 41. Amazing form so far, rightly so, practically brought upon excessively aggressive batting in cricket so it would be nice to see him with one of the best records during the infancy of the game.

Nazimuddin needs some runs though, after being the best in the warm-ups he's fallen rapidly.

Two low-scores. He'll come good.

 

[crickmate]

I am more worried about Tamim. He is really in bad patch. Did not score since ancient time. Should be replaced in next match.

Two low-scores. He'll come good.

 

[Perm]

Two low-scores. He'll come good.

I'm hoping, just needs a couple shots to come out of the middle and he should be fine. Let's hope he isn't being overwhelmed by the crowds and pressure, after all, he's just a young chap.

Not that young for the Bangladesh side though, full of youth it is.
