*Official* West Indies in Bangladesh

Ponting who was being seen as the greatest after Bradman is getting bashed day in and out for his bad form. I don't see you guys give him the same treatment.

With the minor difference that Ponting isn't scoring FC runs, whilst Chanderpaul is.

I don't see Ponting going to County Cricket and bashing a load of runs to prove his form.

Ponting is scoring ODI runs and has shown good form. If you are giving first class leeway here then why not ODI?

County cricket - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

And first class players never fails at international level.....

Not at all.

But if you are saying just having a good first class record means your gonna be good at international cricket that is something I have to kindly disagree with.

Love how this debate is going in circles.

When I say he is not in good form in international cricket "look at his first class record." When I say first class isn't the same level as international cricket "look at his international record."

I have said that much myself.





Its mind boggling to think that a player who has been in bad form in international can struggle at the opposition's home ground? Sure its Bangladesh but even class players in form have failed to perform there sometimes.

It's a shame that Bangladesh got rid of Siddons. He was getting the best out of a lot of the players.

Watching BD bat makes you wonder why they even show up in the first place.

Cracker of a match going on, too bad its not being shown on tv in india.

9 runs from 8 balls. Bangladesh should win this

 

[cnerd123]

Mushy and Nasir make me eat my words. Nice stuff.

Poor from the rest of the bats though.

[cnerd123]

6 needed off the last over and now it's 5 needed off 3.

Sigh.

Nice one Mushy. Can't ask a bloke to do much more on his captaincy debut.
