*Official* Asia Cup 2018 in UAE

[AndyZaltzHair]

Shadab has done well to play out 4 overs for nothing

 

[smash84]

could have just spared those 4 overs, facepalm worthy stuff

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Not sure whats worse Ramiz and Aamir together as commentating or batting

 

[trundler]

Paklolistan, amirite smali

 

[Tec15]

Would it be challenging? Sans Shakib, Bangladesh's bowling resources are really thin.

What a strange comment. Are you still watching cricket in 2011? I mean even in his last match Shakib had figures of 9-0-55-1, he was hardly Bangladesh's best bowler.

 

[Burner]

Haha what an innings!

 

[Tec15]

With two full time keepers in the team why Mushfiq is stretching himself to be the keeper

Liton Das cannot keep. Or bat for that matter.

Pakislol sounds better

He has a point though. It does not matter how good or bad Shakib bowled. BD's top order is really fragile so without him you cant really be plugging the gap with an extra bowler and leave out a batsman unless another all rounder comes in. It was showing in this game when SMalik and Imam were building the partnership. The lack of 5th bowling option could really hurt BD.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Whats the role of Asif Ali? Playing as a batsman and coming in at 7

 

[smash84]

yes, i have no clue why Asif Ali is even in this team. He is neither a good batsman, nor a bowler, nor a good fielder.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Imam tried at least

 

[smash84]

hard to blame him for all the **** show that went around him

Got sick of crapinfo auto playing their videos on the match page, scorecard etc so I got this:

Fizz deserved the fifth there. Couple of catches dropped off of him

 

[vcs]

So two of *****'s teams made it through to the final.

He said nothing about the fifth bowler, though. His comment literally was that Bangladesh have no resources without Shakib, which is risible nonsense. Mustafizur and Mehdi bowled better than Shakib last game and did their job today.

As for the fifth bowler, I have more confidence in any combination of Mahmadullah, Soumya then I do in Masrafe, the supposed "second/third" bowler. He's the real weak link and passenger.

I dont know why you constantly piss on Mashrafe. Who is the other alternative to Mashrafe?

Can't wait to see bdesh cry again.
