5th June - Group A - Australia v Bangladesh

[Top_Cat]

Bloody hell, the amount of lift Cummins gets is shocking sometimes. Guy of his pace, you'd expect him to skid through but he's almost Hazlewood + 10kph on what looks a pretty nice deck for the bats.

 

[Tec15]

Now officially slower than against England. And they were supposed to have learned.

 

[Bahseph]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Bangladesh's gameplan "bat first and restrict with spinners and Fizz,Mortaza". Totally different conditions to where that usually works but perhaps they are just leaning on what they know?

 

[tobe_ornot2]

Nobody said they are a top side. They are a competitive side and no BD winning in a world tourney is not a "massive WHAT" because they have been doing exactly this regularly.

Maybe you watch different world tournaments to everyone else.

 

[Tec15]

"I like Tamim, he's aggressive!". Batting on an aggressive 26 of 44. Sure he'll "make it up" supposedly. Didn't do so against England.

 

[Tec15]

He probably watches the same ones where Bangladesh have consistently trumped England.

 

[Tec15]

All that was missing, was far them to faf around against Head and fail to score of him. Tamim on an aggressive 27 of 49.

 

[Top_Cat]

jesus Christ, are you really potting the bloke who tonned up last game and is the only one to look vaguely competent this one?

 

[91Jmay]

Tamim looking out of nick all of a sudden. Letting Head get away with some dreadful bowling.

 

[Tec15]

Yeah, I'm potting the bloke batting on 28 of 50 and failing to score a run against the filthy bowling of Head. Considering his slow start against England was part of the reason that not enough runs were scored, it's more than fair criticism.

 

[91Jmay]

Game feels over. Bangladesh not got the lineup to make up runs later on particularly well sans a genius knock from Shakib which i predicted in jest but they'd literally need.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

BD playing poorly but the pitch does not look like 300 pitch. Looks on the slower side and will get more slower.

Missed a straight one. Poor stuff

Yeah, yeah make lame excuses. I'm sure we'll he hear the same thing when the likes of Finch is smashing Masrafee for sixes for fun as Australia chase this down in 30 overs.

 

[cnerd123]

Yea we're ****ed this game is done

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

How dumb one has to be not reviewing inside edge ffs

 

[Tec15]

That wicket gives Tamim an excuse to block Head and Henriques out for a further ten overs. As if he needed it.

 

[Tec15]

Yea we're ****ed this game is done

Team BCCI isn't playing today. But you can repeat that when they play South Africa.

 

[CricAddict]

Get a life buddy. Yes, we all agree that BD is playing poorly right now.
