Super Eight

[Prince EWS]

Haha, that was such a typical Aftab innings. He looked a million dollars, played some really good shots, seemed in total control, and then played a ridiculous shot that you'd hang a 7 year old for playing to get himself out.

 

[Jono]

FFS Aftab.

Used to like Styris, not anymore.

 

[PY]

Styris cannot get a wicket here, my cricket.com.au Dream Team chances depend on it. Cannot have my mate beat me, and Styris is killing it for him.

Haha, really wasn't expecting that post - genuine lol.

Now it's worth a genuine LOL.

This is exactly why Aftab's Test career will never take off. His ODI place is probably going to come under scrutiny now - he's played five ridiculous shots (maybe four, can't remember how he got out vs Sri Lanka) in five innings. It can't just be age - Saqibul and Mushfiqur are his junior by a couple of years and you don't see them slashing wildly.

 

[simmy]

The track looks too good for 230 to bother NZ imo. Cant see bang getting anymore.

 

[Jungle Jumbo]

Bashar looks miles out of touch. Saqibul, on the other hand, oozes class.

 

[Laurrz]

Bangla choking themselves a bit but NZ have bowled very well and very disciplined

i dont think 200 will be enough (on this track)... and at this rate they wont get more than that.. or much more...
but who knows .. i think the pitch may have a bit of grip in it and Bangla have got 3 spinners

anyone else think Ashraful batting way too low?

 

[Laurrz]

oh dear...direct hit

4 down

Ashraful in now

 

[simmy]

Bond on and immediate BANG!

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Gunnest of the gun.

2nd match in a row Bond has came back and taken a wicket first ball.

 

[simmy]

Yeah he is very awesome

 

[Loony BoB]

Bond's tournament average goes down to 10.57.

EDIT: 9.25

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Weeeeeeeeeeee

Bondy!!!

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Bond
WC 8 wickets @ 9.25, eco 2.26, s/r 24.5
Career 120 wickets @ 18.97, eco 4.23, s/r 26.8

 

[Loony BoB]

Raghav is Cricinfo's scorer. Now I know who to blame.

EDIT: If Bond gets it below 18.84, he's got the record for all-time averages (again). He already has strike rate and tends to sit easy at the top of that list.

 

[Prince EWS]

Mortaza fascinates me as a batsman. Have a feeling he might get a few here.

 

[Laurrz]

Omar 22
Tanim 29
Aftab 27
Saqibal 25

so much starts but noone going on.. seen that too much with Bangers

 

[Loony BoB]

How fast is Bondy bowling, out of curiosity?

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

7-3-5-2 are pretty crazy figures.

Amazing considering I was thinking way back in December that Bond should retire because he was bowling tripe.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Gone-burgers. Poor Jono, Styris gets another one.

How fast is Bondy bowling, out of curiosity?

He has been bowling around 140km/h. Although in that over he bowled a few around the 145km/h mark, obviously putting in the extra effort against the lesser batsmen, spearing it in full and aiming for the stumps
