2nd Quarter Final - India v Bangladesh (19th March)

[silentstriker]

I have no idea what score I would be 'happy' with. Against Australia, I'd want well over 300. Bangladesh can chase 340 or be all out for 72, with their likely max chase being around 290-300 I reckon. So....I dunno.

athlai's boi into the attack

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

going with all the mediocre option in first ten overs

Interesting bowling changes from Mashrafe here. Nasir and Marmadoola on before Rubel and Shakib?

 

[smash84]

very defensive captaincy

 

[smash84]

rubel into the attack, Happy will be very happy

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Rubel on the money so far, should have been bowling earlier

 

[Athlai]

what?

1 in 40 chance but feasible.

 

[smash84]

bangers need some wickets and need them quick. They'll get bloody murdered from here on.

11-40 over period is india's strength

have they chased 340 before? If yes then When was that?

 

[Sarun]

6 more balls faced and 6 more runs scored by Rohit over Dhawan. Rare symmetry!

very defensive captaincy

Yeah, it might also turn good in hindsight. 5 overs of the fifth bowler gone quietly. If the Banglas get a wicket here, they can look at restricting India within 300 with more of main bowlers' overs available.

 

[Contra]

ehh.. India holding back a little too much for my liking.

Rarely has defensive captaincy been rewarded recently.

Difficult to see this turning out well in hindsight. Given the fact that bangers frontliners are not exactly starcs or boults.

Nasser bang on

[Contra]

That's a flat six

Get the feeling that this was over when the Deshis failed to get the openers early.
