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

[viriya]

Rohit's already on 40 though.

Yea but anything less than a ton would be disappointing I think.

 

[Contra]

Yea but anything less than a ton would be disappointing I think.

Of course I want Rohit to get a really big one, but that wasn't the point I was trying to make.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Rohit needs to deliver now. Which means he'll probably get out.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

ffs bring on taskin

 

[Teja.]

1-11 from 5 for Rubel.

 

[Dick Rockett]

Poor crowd this.

Any Melbournerianites here? Will it fill up as the game goes on?

 

[CricAddict]

Lovely bowling Rubel. I was criticizing Mortaza for not opening with him, but perhaps the tactics of holding him back was the right one.

I told you guys about hindsight

I thought there were supposed to be 30000 screaming banglamaniacs.

I told you guys about hindsight

There is still 60% of the innings left

 

[viriya]

Bangla should bring in Taskin for Shakib I feel.. save him for the death.

 

[ankitj]

Poor scoring rate. Need to press the accelerator a bit.

 

[Zinzan]

Yeah, since it was 55/0 after 11, we've had 41/2 in the next 13 - incredible turnaround.

I was thinking 350+ early on.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Need a slip for rahane

 

[viriya]

India need to get close to 350 I feel.. I don't think 300 is beyond Bangladesh especially if they get past the first 10 without losing more than a couple.

 

[Teja.]

310 and we're safe IMO.

 

[Contra]

This ground is big so it won't be that easy to accelerate, 300 here is probably 320-325 imo.

 

[viriya]

310 and we're safe IMO.

Yes if they bowl as well as they have through the series. If they go on reversion mode not so much.

 

[silentstriker]

Need to start setting targets. Should aim for 100 in the next 15, and 100 in the last 10.

 

[Contra]

Ehh.. come on Rahane you gotta be more proactive than that.

 

[ankitj]

And now there is pressure on Indians including those in pavilion.
