Group A - India, Bangladesh, Ireland

[ret]

Ind needs to target 180+

 

[GIMH]

massive

 

[grecian]

These interviews when the cricket is thrilling is utterly stupid

 

[GIMH]

Yeah, prefer the T20 Cup way where they interview the fielders

 

[roseboy64]

Bowlers getting battered here.

 

[R_D]

These interviews when the cricket is thrilling is utterly stupid

agree with that.......

this is what we were missing in middle overs.... someone to take on the attack

 

[Cruxdude]

Bangladesh missed a trick. They shouldn't have got Dhoni and Gambhir out.

 

[GIMH]

Yuvraj gone - could be crucial

 

[Cruxdude]

Reduces the target by atleast 15 runs.

 

[R_D]

Hopefully Yusuf Pathan can clear few....... need to score at least 180 here.

Well played by the Yuvi.

 

[ret]

that's why you need to get players like Rohit, Yuvi, Raina, YP in early so that they have a chance to take the game away from the opposition, if they fail then you can always play for a par total rather than setting these big hitters to play well to get to a par total

 

[Cruxdude]

These players are not getting a chance to settle before going for it. Dhoni has to understand this and come at 7 or 6.

 

[Cruxdude]

The score is decent but it is not something you can rest with. With 5 bowlers I believe we should win but the Bangladeshi madcaps can do a Gayle.

 

[grecian]

Just a small thing, but why didn't they go for that extra run?

Pretty poor protecting your (or your bros's wicket), when wickets don't matter and one run could.

 

[R_D]

180 is a good score... if they bowl well... should win.
Don't really understand why Dhoni keeps coming in at 1 down.... he just nudges around too much early on in his innings. Raina probaly ideal person as he can launch it quite quickly.

 

[Jono]

Bangladeshi madcaps can do a Gayle.

Gayle, as well as he batted, was assisted by rubbish bowling from Australia.

If India bowl well, they shouldn't lose, even if Bangladesh play really well.

It will take a crap performance in the field to lose from here, as well as Bangladesh lifting.

 

[pasag]

That's how you finish an innings! India still have some idealogical issues to sort out with the middle overs, once they conquer those and drop Dhnoi down the order the sky is the limit.

 

[Jono]

Go to bed Pasag.

Got exams this sem?

 

[Dissector]

This looks like a good batting wicket so BD has a decent shot. A real waste of the Pathan brothers from India's point of view.

Yeah Harris famously did it in the IPL (or didn't do it rather) I'm not sure why either.
