*Official* Tri-Nation ODI Series in Bangladesh

[G.I.Joe]

Any Indian team with Jadeja in it = Fail. I just hope there's someone to displace him from the lineup before the 2011 party comes rolling into town.

 

[Edged&Taken]

india 17 for 3

 

[Sanz]

Talk about showing up for finals.

 

[honestbharani]

We are the real chokers.. I think we have displaced South Africa from that peak too..

 

[Howsie]

India five down after ten overs, the pitch must have something in it?

Nah. Just dire shot selection. Has the occasional sharp turn but nothing more. 2 edges off loose shots(Yuvraj, Kohli), 1 mistimed uppercut(Sehwag), one freak dismissal where the ball hit the stumps after hitting the top part of the batsman's pads)Gambhir), Dhoni edged one to the slips which I did not see. Not really tough to bat on for the international players I suppose. Just a case of brain implosion that these guys have every now and then.

watching too much of Pakistan your boys.

Last time I checked, India were 70-odd for 5, nowe they are 203/6, with 9 more overs to go. That's not the worst position to be in, even without the notice of the early wickets.

Nobody can take that away from SA

Good recovery by India I reckon.. Match on..!!

 

[Shri]

SL will win this with around 5 overs to spare with Sanga, Jaya and Samaraweera getting 50s.

South Africa has a strong hold at the moment but India are trying their best to displace them of it and take the Chokers title.

 

[Arjun]

Chokers or otherwise, when the Indians are outplayed, they can't come back. The match is as good as lost.

 

[cricman]

I think it's Safe to Say Bangladesh were the Better Side when Batting 1st in this Series

 

[pasag]

Have any other sides ever played eachother 15 times in ODIs in a 12 month period?

I could only think Aus/WI would get anywhere close to that. But I doubt it. The two countries would need to tour at least once, meet in more than one competition in the year and even then it would be just 10 or so meetings.

There gonna play again in Asia Cup 2 more time in June

 

[Jayzamann]

Mahela nver seems to charge on with the starts that the top three provide, he's a great middle order accumulator. But when he's coupled with Samawareera, the brakes come on completely.

He's not really a particularly good accumulator in one day cricket either; he's played some absolute gems in the format but they are far, far too rare for a player of his class or even, really, of a player who demands selection for every game.

It's odd because unlike other medicore ODI batsmen who are excellent Test batsmen, he isn't too boundary reliant, he doesn't score too slowly and he doesn't have a limited stroke range or anything like that - he just doesn't perform.

 

[Shri]

Is it too much to hope for a win now?

 

[Prince EWS]

Is it too much to hope for a win now?

Nah not at all. If Jayawardene gets out soon it really is game on. It's certainly not what I'd call close at this point but the result is not a forgone conclusion.
