Biggest ODI upset ever(if it comes off)?

Biggest ODI upset ever(if it comes off)?

That would certainly be the case. I doubt whether any pound notes have changed hands before this game, *and no*cough*pitch reports*cough*.

My gut feeling is that Australia will just sneak it by about 5 runs.

Tee hee! Come on Bangladesh. I can't wait to see the reaction of Australian papers if we lose this, let alone the Poms.

I can't wait to see Scallywag's reaction after the most bone-headed performance I have seen by an international captain in quite some time.

sweep for 4 off Mcgrath, go Ashraful!

 

[Jono]

Ashy you are a gun!

 

[Adamc]

Brilliant! Ashraful sweeps McGrath's first ball for four, 96* for the young man now. 28 from 23, Bangladesh realistically should be considered favourites now...

 

[Jono]

I love the intensity of Ashraful. He was annoyed that he almost ran himself out that. Brilliant to see.

Didn't he go walkabouts after the Champions Trophy? I'm not sure he'd face up to any of this.

 

[superkingdave]

well done son 100!

 

[Adamc]

99* off 99... there's the century, well done Mohammad Ashraful!

 

[superkingdave]

now go and win the ******!

 

[Jono]

WHAT A HUNDRED! ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!

I knew he'd do something this series, that's why I have in in my fantasy team. But who would have thought he'd get a ton against Australia, and possibly win Bangladesh the game?

 

[superkingdave]

Nooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Jono]

Sh*t he's gone now! Damn it!

 

[Adamc]

Brilliant innings though. Bangladesh should still win, Rafique in now.

He did, and if I remember correctly, he then signed up with another username to avoid the backdraft afterwards.

The only consolation we can get from this if we lose (and I still really hope it doesn't happen) is that we're obviously in a sudden, horrendous slump - which might be preferable to the alternative possibility, which was that England were really THAT good.

Ashraful out right on 100. The Bangladeshis may not know how to win. Either way, of course, this game is an embarrassment.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Come on lets see some fine edges for 4...

 

[Jono]

4!!!

Rafique!!!!

 

[Adamc]

Four to Rafique! 17 off 14, another boundary and the match is basically theirs.
