Match #21- Bangladesh vs South Africa (D)- Nassau County Cricket Stadium, New York- June 10th-- Group D

I love the Score Predictor at the NYC stadium, it seems to still be stuck on the IPL setting!!

I don't disagree with that. But dropping an experienced game changing player would be a big call. But ultimately he is no more deserving of being dropped than any of the rest of the top 3. Except Markram is cpt and Reeza has the best form coming into the tournament. Rickelton didn't exactly inspire in the warm ups.

These wickets are dog breakfasts and these innings mostly tell us nothing about the players form.

I just don't see Rickelton solving any of the issues.

Would assume dropping Reeza isn't ideal when it comes to quota stuff also tbf.

ANother glory shot attempt succumbs to the death rattle.

Maybe they are batting like Pakistan yesterday, maybe they are not. But having faced so many deliveries, you only attempt to smack it when it's in your zone...or if you are Pant.

No it wouldn't. But in this case there is no point in dropping one of the most consistent players.

Just to confirm, after 17 overs, at 100-5 it was predicting 134.

I love seeing batsmen frustrated. This pitch is a blessing in disguise.

I think they had to give it a go with six wickets at hand. They were going to get 120 either way so took a chance to stretch it to 135. Worth it

On a conventional wicket this would be the go-to...

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

He's swinging blindly. Just put bat on ball and turn over the strike.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Just take singles

 

[StephenZA]

I take you guys never watched Maharaj bat before?

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Enough runs on the board. I just hope our nrr does not get a hit after this match

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

We deserve to lose , this team needs a serious wake up call .

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Damn Shanto, that was reminiscent of Tamim v Zaheer in 07 WC

That was timed so sweetly straight into cover's hand.

This game looks like a replay of the Ind v Pak game.

Let's see if the Bangla leadership do anything different. The have a decent hitter in Rishad who they could send up the order to try hit a few boundaries and get ahead of the run rate.
