23th Match - West Indies v Bangladesh

[Tec15]

Haha seriously, I didn't like Mashrafe's captaincy today either. But Tec is just pouring venom as if Mashrafe has committed dozens of murders.

I mean I've been saying this for a long while now, while clueless numpties like ***** constantly make patronizing lame excuses. The thing is that it's so predictable, that I saw this coming from a mile away. I've watched him do this time and time again, not just today. And it's not like it's an unimportant match either. Lose and you're basically out of contention, so no big in again predictably screwing up.

***** doesn't give a **** because he supports India and a loss in this eminently winnable match doesn't really matter to him. He'll just go back to cheering India.

 

[Spikey]

uh oh

 

[Second Spitter]

Zinger bails doing their job!

Just calm down a bit mate. Don't increase your blood pressure.

 

[trundler]

Shouldn't have taken that single.

Minor criticism: Amir and Fizz are taking wickets almost exclusively at the death. That prevents targets of 350 but they should be taking top order wickets.

 

[morgieb]

Surely Cottrell is better than Thomas. He averages at least low teens at FC/LA level.

 

[Tec15]

Here's another recent match where Mustafizur wan't bowled out despite being the best bowler, for anyone thinking that Masrafe only had a bad day today.

Saif is now busy bowling wides while the best bowler has an unused over left.

 

[trundler]

Well BD aren't chasing this

Well in Mustafiz's case, Masrafee prefers to bowl his own rubbish up front and only bowls half of Mustafizur's overs at the death.

 

[GotSpin]

Hopefully enough runs

 

[morgieb]

WIndies probably needed a decent 9, would've gotten an extra 20 runs otherwise. Having to bat Bravo and assorted rabbits killed their momentum slightly. Should defend this though.

 

[NUFAN]

I think youd like Gayle Lewis Pooran Hetmyer Holder Russell batting 30 overs each game and going at a minumum of 7 per over (210) and ideally Bravo and Hope face the other 120 going at around 5 (100 runs). That would be by blue print, so 310 plus a few extra 315-320 and if one of the bigger hitters goes crazy, the scores lifts some more.

Im pretty happy with this call.

 

[cnerd123]

Think BD can chase this but they're an outside chance now. Really need Tamim to step up - he's been due.

 

[weldone]

Shai Hope says the pitch is a bit slow.

That would nullify WI bowlers a bit if true.

 

[mr_mister]

Holder played an awesome knock. Just came out and did Russel's job for him. Russell is totally surplus to requirements

Narine or Pollard would have been better

 

[Tec15]

Just calm down a bit mate. Don't increase your blood pressure.

Too late for that now.

 

[Borges]

I suppose it is safe to say that the loser of this game would be virtually out of the semi finals.
Go, Bangladesh, go! The West Indies attack is predictably one dimensional; make this a cliff hanger.

 

[Raghav]

This will be close game as I kept saying since the beginning - might go to last ball!

 

[mr_mister]

Can't see bangas pulling this off. Maybe 280 not 320

I would qualify that with they shouldn't be able to chase 320, it's not really their game. But if we have a shocker like we did against England it's quite possible.
