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

[viriya]

This actually might not be the worst thing for India.. assuming Raina doesn't **** it up of course, but Rahane was just going nowhere.

 

[Teja.]

Rahane is an overrated ODI batsman.

Came through with 80(60) toughest game of the WC to set up the game v. the deshis, not his fault his team mates didn't rise up to the occasion.

I think dhoni should have come In at this point

 

[hendrix]

Wait Aleem Dar got stung by a Wasp (not a WASP)?

 

[viriya]

The Bangladeshi bowling attack is clearly better than Sri Lanka's.. surprised I'm saying that but it's true.

 

[Contra]

whats with Raina always holding onto his gloves? I'm really not a fan of that.

 

[Grasshopper]

Entertaining game.

Fatty sweats a lot.

 

[smash84]

And have been quite surprised by raina in this world cup. I have never been convinced about his batting. Always looked suspect against half decent bowling. At least gavee that feeling but has been scoring heavily in this wc

 

[Snippie27]

Have to say, the first innings bowling performances (at least to the 30th over for this match) in these first two quarter finals; have been fantastic! It's as if they're playing on different pitches from the rest of the tournament!

 

[Contra]

Is it going to be Jadeja's night tonight? Hasn't had much of a bat.

 

[_Ed_]

Entertaining game.

Way better than last night - so far at least.

 

[viriya]

Way better than last night - so far at least.

Less we talk about what happened last night the better.

 

[Contra]

We'll take all the boundaries coming our way this game

 

[viriya]

Lucky boundaries here.. Bangladesh have won the first 30% of the match - let's see if they can keep it up.

 

[viriya]

Rohit getting out here could cost India a good 40-50 runs. Absolutely crucial.

 

[ankitj]

Really? I doubt anyone here would be genuinely surprised to see India get to 300 from here. 275 is more likely, but can't see how you can discount it.

Talking about what is likely. 300 is possible but clearly doesn't look likely. India will have to get 175 in 20 overs to get 300.

Who is bangers 5th bowler? Mahmoodullah and nasir hussein?

 

[viriya]

Who is bangers 5th bowler? Mahmoodullah and nasir hussein?

Yes and they've gone at 4/over with only 2 more overs to go. But not sure if Mortaza can/will bowl out.

Mortaza should stay away from bowling
