40th Match - Bangladesh v India

[rythy]

Wow. Sudden momentum shift. These two looking threatening now.

 

[Howe_zat]

Chahal or Kuldeep both been under par this world cup for me, anyone else think the same.

wastemen?

 

[ajdude]

shaifuddin is my favourite cricketer ever, the way he still slid his bat even though the ball was just about at mid on after pandya threw it and missed was comedy gold

 

[slippy888]

You expect india spinners to take wickets in this format, both seem content on drying up the runs and try to keep there name in the playing 11

Back to earth for Shami

 

[slippy888]

[h_hurricane]

*****, where are you ?

 

[artvandalay]

Shami is being slapped around here. Get the feeling er are just waiting for them to throw the towel in.

 

[Shri]

Shami, vary your pace ffs. Back of a length cutters ffs.

 

[slippy888]

Need bumrah back on now

Yeah, memory might be failing me/being selective here but it seemed like when they were first unearthed as a spin duo they took stacks of wickets between them, but the fear factor seems to have worn off a bit. Think it predates the World Cup, though - Kuldeep tore up England in the first ODI last year but I can't recall him doing much of note since then?

 

[vcs]

Some wayward bowling and top batting from these two.

 

[Arachnodouche]

Don't see us going past the semis tbh. Really need a close to flawless outing against SL to get some momentum going.

shami lucky to go for "only" 11 in that over

 

[harsh.ag]

Jeez this is amazing. Shami being carted around like a Bangladesh FC pacer.

 

[SJS]

Bangladesh is on track with the chase. They have just lost a wicket or so more.

India at the end of the 40th over were 104 runs behind with 6 wkts in hand. BD were 90 behind with 4 wkts left.

Every international side knows how to chase - whether they manage or not is a function of many factors. But a run rate about 1,5 times the starting RR required is just about fine.
Dhoni does not have any masters degree in this.

A side needs to , approximately be able to double their score from what they achieve in the first 30 - that defines the way the chase is to be managed. Not losing too many wickets is the other issue.

He had a really good test against Aus. Chahal looked great against both us and NZ the same summer

 

[Member Berry]

bangladesh deserve a ton of credit here, thought it was over the second shakib got out.
