***Official*** 2014 Asia Cup

[Shri]

Getting sick of seeing Sharma open in ODIs. Slows everything down. Maybe Rahane or Pujara should open and he should bat at 4 or 5.

Joni, who's that in your avatar?

Graeme Smith.

 

[Shri]

Graeme Smith.

Huh, nose looks different.

 

[Shri]

Haha, none of us took the dew into account when we loled at the total.

 

[ajdude]

Ziaur has lost so much weight.

is he the bloke that was a bowler but injuries made him become a top order bat? i remember him being rather large

 

[OverratedSanity]

This has happened so many times in the last free months. Kohli makes it look so easy when the rest of our lineup struggles and scraps

pfft.

Good decision to bowl first even though the pitch looks great for batting. We're horrible with the ball when there's dew around.

 

[CricAddict]

Has Kohli already done enough to be qualified as ODI great? No 3 position has heavy competition in an All time ODI team though.

 

[Shri]

From who? Viv and Ponting? Kohli will finish as a better bat easily considering his age. 18 tons at 25 years of age is incredible.

 

[Arjun]

Rahane at the top of the order and Rohit at four/five can be explored. He's helped out greatly in building a partnership with Kohli. He can do the same with Dhawan, who needs a more responsive partner. Rohit will also be comfortable at five. And, of course, Pujara at four in place of the scratchy Rayudu.

There's a reason why Indians tend to overrate any bowler who hurls the ball over 140K- they've had results, especially against India. Indian bowlers who bowl over 140K are rare- not surprisingly, successful Indian pacers are, too.

If Pandey gets the next game, he has to open the bowling. Pandey and Shami may be a good opening combination.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Will end up better than Ponting for sure imo. Viv, though? Probably not

 

[YorksLanka]

Wow Bangla already look like they have given up!!come on they still need 100 runs..

 

[Shri]

Calling a Kohli 150.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Powerplay should be fun

 

[Shri]

Will end up better than Ponting for sure imo. Viv, though? Probably not

Viv himself seems to rate him. And his 100s while chasing have been close to unbelievable so far. That 138* against SL in Aus(Hobart?), 2 back to back 60 ball 100s recently etc. Won't be surprised to see him retire as the second best ODI bat after Tendulkar.

 

[Shri]

Would love to see another sustained duel between Kohli and Junaid.

 

[Shri]

Plumb. Bowden is a...never mind. Missing leg.

Yes, those two were the names that came to my mind when I wrote that line. And Sanga as well, though Sanga is more flexible to bat at other places.

Sanga is overrated. Nowhere close to any all time XI in my opinion. Except maybe a Sri Lankan XI.

That song that just played was ripped off a tamil one.
