*Official* Bangladesh v India 2022/23

[honestbharani]

Well done BD. The series has provided unexpectedly close games so far. I expected India to walk the first one and BD to walk the second one but somehow both games went down to the wire.

dear indian brothers fear not- this is nothing but a minor blemish in our outstanding record in cricket. some people will say the bowling has been the bane through the decades and has never improved much- but don't let your opinions sway- like always keep saying its the batting that has let us down for the zillionth time. channel all our energies on who should be replaced in the batting order.

I don’t see how Afif fits in this XI unless Shakib moves to 3 and one of Shanto/Anamul drops out. Saifuddin or Mosaddek then can be slotted to 7/8 for sixth bowling option.
For the next WC, we should be looking at

1. Tamim
2. Liton
3. Shakib
4. Mushfiq
5. Mullah
6. Afif
7. Miraz
8. Saifuddin/ Mosaddek
9. Taskin
10. Fizz
11. Hasan Mahmud/EbaGoat/Nasum

yep indeed- engaging series it was between two top flight teams. bangladesh played out of their skins to combat outworldly bowling. hey excited for IPL?

genius- here have a cookie. also please tell mr. "single personality" what went wrong with the indian performance.

 

[girish117]

meanwhile "king" kohli ducking and slithering away from all the noise. relieved that he was not caught in the crossfire- yet. that 83 or whatever against pakistan has earned him lifetime warranty.

what went wrong with the indian performance.

Shardul Thakur failing to channel his inner Stuart Binny

why do we get losers like this who show up only when we lose and pours on the misery while England gets the good stuff with chris hinton showing up whenever England have a 50 50 chance to cheer his side on to winning

"when we lose"- you mean like pretty much every second or third game since months? or having won jackshit over the course of three decades? ..anyways you are there for cheerleading.. and theres always the IPL.

 

[ataraxia]

from 69/6 to giant-killing!

I mean you have been losing a fair bit over the last 18 months, way moreso than the level of talent in your side should permit. Something seems to have broken since the high-water mark of the Aus tour.

things are bad but the way this emo kid talks up you would think this Indian team is the equivalent of America in basketball in the olympics and should be winning everything everytime

I think iit broke last year tbh... B Arun as bowling coach seems to have been the biggest loss. Bowling has definitely not been to that level since.

 

[Socerer 01]

bowling started to lose it's way even in his last days there.. we need a complete overhaul it looks like

 

[TT Boy]

Just watched the YouTube highlights, Rahul’s dismissal was dreadful. Ball may have kept lowish but looked like me trying to bat.
India also walking into the WC an old team.

 

[Kirkut]

Alright, now we are slowly becoming like England in football. We rule the game financially and care the least about internationals.

 

[honestbharani]

Chahar being injured in some form or the other over almost an entire year is very worrying. Its almost as if he cant play anything other than T20s. And that sucks.

I have theory here that may apply for Bumrah's case as well. Cricketers and specifically fast bowlers today are too much into weight training, they have great explosive strength but lack in flexibility/endurance. Bowlers from the past never got injured this frequently and Chahar doesn't even bowl at 90 mph to have a valid reason for getting injured.
