**Official** Asia Cup 2012

I think this will end with Pakistan winning by 15-20 runs.Don't see Bangladesh losing their whole team,but i don't see them chasing the target down either.

And as we speak,the Bangladesh choke job begins

Shakib not middling well after Hossain goes.

 

[smash84]

Bangladesh still have wickets. So if Shakib is still there. They might win.

shakib is getting a boundary every over so the asking rate is not really very steep......

the bangers looking more favorites here

They have wickets.

EDIT: Shakib plays a very bad shot to get out.

 

[TT Boy]

On the band wagon but come on Bangladesh!

Haha.

Cheema gets Pakistan the cup

You can't be cute everytime Shakib.

 

[smash84]

[Fusion]

[Himannv]

yes I want cheema back still

 

[TT Boy]

Yeah, stream closed.

@ Fusion. Gul is really crap. He gets carted around with the new ball and then does a little better with the old ball, but not by much. He has lost his Yorker ability as well. He just isn't cut out to be a leader of the attack.

And Cheema gets Shakib.

A little part of me just died

 

[benchmark00]

Gah, needed Shakkers to be there with only about 20 to get. Too much to do now.

Might be just my perception, but I feel Shakib does this alot. Gets them on the track to victory with a good knock, then gets out when there's work still left to be done.

I get all that, but have Cheema/Azam been any better?

 

[stumpski]

Mahmudullah is capable, and he got runs in the last game, but it's a lot to ask of two new batsmen.

 

[TT Boy]

Just blame Shahadat Hossain.

You mean like Tendulkar?

 

[smash84]

8 off ajmal's over so far

Hammad Azam, at this stage of his career anyway, is a batsman who can bowl a little bit. Probably shouldn't even bowl every game, and doesn't tbf. The question is whether he's a good enough batsman to make this side on the strength of it alone, and while he does look like a very promising bat I'd be leaning towards 'no' at this stage.

Cheema redeemed!
