Sunday 25 October: Bangladesh v Sri Lanka and India v Pakistan Match Discussion

[Aritro]

Saifuddin next in pls

Mate, who are these cavalier, highly competent, unmistakably self-assured dudes in the green jerseys and what have they done to the n00bs who usually play for us? I'm not sure what the ****'s going on but I'm loving it.

 

[Burgey]

If he did that he deserves a whack but all I saw him do was stand his ground and stare him down. Basically a model of restrained assertion. As far as I'm concerned that jumped up, thoroughly mediocre manchild who got in his face should have to pay his fine directly into Liton's bank account.

I thought Shakib was the Bangladeshi who had funds placed directly into his bank account ?

 

[Burgey]

Really like the way the Deshis have put this innings together though. Think they’ve been really good so far.

that pick up shot from afif

What a privilege for the likes of Lahiru Kumara to share a pitch with a talent like Afif. It's something he can tell his kids about one day.

**** my life, I shouldn't have said that.

Never mind, I'm sure plenty of middle of the road County gumbies ran Barry Richards out back in the day. Much like them, I'm sure it's a memory Kumara will treasure from his otherwise completely forgettable career.

Look at this ****ing gobshite bowling a head high full toss now. It must be hard to be this noxious all the time.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

We might be 20 runs short. I don’t know

Bangers should win this fairly easily, the pitches in the UAE tend to slow down significantly over the course of the match making it harder for SL

Yeah to be fair, if our lads are batting like this it can't be a particularly hard pitch to bat on.

Let's try and move the matchday discussion away from the generic group threads I reckon. Nothing worse than coming into a forum with a bunch of catch-all, generalised superthreads with too many pages.

Ironic from the OP considering the group thread has a whopping seventeen posts in it.

 

[slippy888]

One sri lanka batsman you have to fear is Kusal Perrera he has always based he batting style on Sanath Jaysuria

 

[slippy888]

I think you have to let shakib open the bowling cause i think the fast medium bowlers could go for plenty in power play from both ends

Mahedi should be that guy

 

[thierry henry]

Jesus when did Mushfiqur age from 12 to 48 all of a sudden

I said that yesterday when people were, incorrectly, discussing the other matches in the other group thread.

I accept your thanks for bravely saving the forum from itself.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Wait, Mahedi isn’t playing?

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

good one to get rid of kusal perera

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Wait, Mahedi isn’t playing?

yeah hes there

 

[Arachnodouche]

Nasum strikes

 

[Aritro]

Well it was fun while it lasted.
