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

[Teja.]

Can see doolah getting settled in against Raina.

 

[Contra]

So Dhoni doesn't think pacers are going to give him 10 overs?

Dhoni just wants to build pressure for a bit I think. He also wants to have options later on in case one of his other bowlers is having a bad day. Don't see Raina bowling full 10 overs unless there's 2 lefties batting.

Marmaduke batting out a maiden vs Raina.. not a good sign for Bangladesh.

 

[ankitj]

What's with all these bowling changes?

 

[_Ed_]

Marmaduke batting out a maiden vs Raina.. not a good sign for Bangladesh.

He can speed up once he gets his eye in, though. Didn't start quickly in his ton against NZ.

 

[Contra]

that's a good strike

 

[OverratedSanity]

Dhoni really is good at applying the squeeze. Required RR skyrocketing quickly.

 

[ankitj]

Raina will get destroyed anytime. Dhoni shouldn't trust him with too many.

 

[viriya]

Much better couple overs there for Bangladesh.. They don't need to do anything more than dab it around for the next 15-20 overs.

Better get a few quiet overs out of him when the batsmen aren't looking to attack after a wicket has fallen.

Exactly right. These two did a great job of it in Hamilton.

 

[ankitj]

Like how Ganguly is the only one to pronounce 'Sorkar' right. His first name BTW is pronounced as 'Shomo'

It will be difficult to get Raina away for too many due to the size of the ground.

 

[_Ed_]

Shot!

 

[ankitj]

Raina's overs are also time to settle down. Shouldn't continue IMO. India is playing 5 bowlers.

 

[indiaholic]

Need to bounce Shomo out.

 

[Spikey]

Well, he was a batting coach there, and they named one of the Etihad ends after him for the BBL...

cant believe i never knew this. explains a lot about the gades imo

 

[Contra]

3 overs of Raina should be good enough for now. This pitch isn't the same as when he last bowled so time for Jadeja.

 

[ankitj]

It's a pretty good start from Bangladesh except for the two wickets

Yeah, and Imrul isn't a big loss.
