*Official* India in Bangladesh 2015

what are the chances of this being a wash-out? I'm redbooked on Betfair and a no result cancels the bets

how heavy is the rain?

very thin drizzle now

Rahane's not in "good nick", but his replacement is an inferior player in any case so it wasn't the best decision.

He was in good nick actually, despite what people may think of the IPL, it's pretty difficult to string together consistent scores in a tournament like that. He was scoring 50+ scores there consistently. Also he scored a quick 98 in the one-off test.

As for the match, I think that India are done. There's no coming back from this now.

There is a reserve day if there can't be any play today, and the game will resume on the reserve day, not restart. So you can say good bye to that money

Urgh don't you just hate minnow bashing?

He opens in the IPL as compared to ODI's, he's been terrible @ 4 for the longest time. He's had one good innings against SA and that too which coming into the situation to accelerate which is not normally the scenario a #4 comes at in most cases.

[harsh.ag]

Rahane
Dhawan
Kohli
Rohit
Dhoni
Raina

should be India's batting order.

Have the decency to change your avatar at least ****

I like Rahane but not having Rohit open is madness right now. If he gets going he just clobbers the opposition comprehensively.

Yeah, I kind of agree. He's not as good a number 4 as he is an opener but I will still like for him to be given a few more chances. Otherwise promote him to an opener and make Rohit the #4.

God damn it. I can now imagine the ****storm that must be going on in the selectors' minds.

Is Mustafizur the missing link for Bangladesh?

The main thing the side seems to lack is a quality pace bowling option...without seeing him bowl, to take two five-fers in your first two games is damn impressive.
