[saiyan0312]

malinga gets the breakthrough.

 

[Ahson8]

Kula getting away-swing.

 

[Mr Consistent]

good recovery by these two

 

[Mr Consistent]

for bangla

 

[Gabbar Singh]

Bangladesh have this in the bag. The pitch is great for batting now.

 

[Executioner]

63-1

Lets hope we do not collapse

 

[Executioner]

Damn what a shot by Shuvo!!

 

[WebGuru]

That was beautiful shot by Shuvo!

 

[Zero]

Has Mominul played overseas?
If so, how well?
He seems like a serious talent for Bangladesh, hopefully he doesn't end up like out Umar Akmal...

 

[saiyan0312]

Shuvo what a shot. Bangladesh cant lose this.

 

[IJWBS]

Has Mominul played overseas?
If so, how well?

Mominul has only played in Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe outside of Bangladesh. He has big hundreds in the West Indies and South Africa playing for the A team and the Academy. Bangladesh has not played in England, Australia and South Africa in forever.

 

[10sion]

Mominul gone. Misses on what should have been his first ODI fifty.

 

[WebGuru]

Shuvo in good touch

 

[10sion]

Guess what.. we go boom boom too

 

[10sion]

Shamsur Rahman ...32 from 38 balls.... 52 from 43 balls.

 

[Executioner]

68 needed, 25 overs left.

 

[10sion]

68 needed, 25 overs left.

Easy peasy. Should have won the T20s too. We definitely know the art of messing things up.

 

[Executioner]

I am not really going to rate Mominul as the next big thing. Plays too many flashes, but when he connects looks like the sweetest timer of the ball or is just that shorter players look better when playing proper cricketing shots

 

[Executioner]

Easy peasy. Should have won the T20s too. We definitely know the art of messing things up.

The first T20 had us chasing 168. It was never easy in my opinion. SL had a good bowling lineup and our batting was shallow with mithun and Farhad Kallis coming at 6/7

 

[MarkCooper]

How is Malinga's fitness? I know he was brought home from Big Bash for having Big Belly. Has he lost weight?

 

[10sion]

Shamsur Rahman.... two boundries and then tries going for another... when will Bangladeshi batsmen mature

 

[10sion]

Sooo many views by the umpire..definite doubt...but hey when does benefit ever go to Bangladeshi batsmen?

 

[Executioner]

debatable decision.

 

[Executioner]

I don't think you could make a clear judgement to as whether or not his foot was not planted. Benefit of doubt should got the batsman

3rd umpires have always been giving decisions against us.

 

[10sion]

Another run out. Way to go!

 

[mosh101]

Massive choke needed for bangladesh to lose from here !

Hot favorites here are the bangali boys !

 

[mosh101]

Possibly the best two batsmen at the crease for bangladesh !

Ideally, these two should take them over the finish line !

 

[10sion]

Nasir gone. Aint over till its over.

 

[London_Lahori]

Honestly, Bangladesh just show some spine for once.

 

[Ahson8]

Bangladesh are such chokers
I thought there was no way they are going to lose today when they had reduced SL to 69/7 but by dropping catches they let SL get to 180. Even then they should have chased it down comfortably and looked well on course at 114/2 but they seem to be choking here yet again.

 

[saiyan0312]

I leave bangladesh when they were 77/1 and are six down. Come on.

 

[Ahson8]

Shuvo what a shot. Bangladesh cant lose this.

They are doing their best to prove you wrong

 

[saiyan0312]

They are doing their best to prove you wrong

I believe you are right. Couple of wickets and its game over.

 

[Justcrazy]

Great game ....... will go down till last .

 

[WebGuru]

And i thought only Pakistani and NZ batting collapse

 

[Justcrazy]

Poor shot by Gazi

 

[Gabbar Singh]

What a bunch of brainless morons - they need 3ish an over and they bat like this lol.

 

[Justcrazy]

If Bangalis bat for 43 over , they will win.

 

[saiyan0312]

And i thought only Pakistani and NZ batting collapse

A fun Asia cup awaits all of us. Seven down... I really thought they couldnt lose this one when they were 77/1 and shuvo was middling so perfectly.

 

[Justcrazy]

Mushfiqur needs to keep strike , 11 overs still left

 

[Ahson8]

Wow, the choke is officially on.

 

[WebGuru]

A fun Asia cup awaits all of us. Seven down... I really thought they couldnt lose this one when they were 77/1 and shuvo was middling so perfectly.

Asia Cup is going to be collapse cup. Except india i am expecting every team including our afghan brothers to go through this

 

[Justcrazy]

Arafat needs to give support , if these two bat out next 5 overs they will come really close.

 

[Justcrazy]

Mushi takes single of first ball.

 

[Justcrazy]

Just keep getting singles.

 

[Justcrazy]

Out of no where

 

[Justcrazy]

30 required now.

 

[saiyan0312]

Asia Cup is going to be collapse cup. Except india i am expecting every team including our afghan brothers to go through this

If i remember correctly we had collapses in the last asia cup too. Against bangladesh when in group stages after a great opening stand we collapsed and the 20/3 against srilanka chasing 180 where misbah and umer came to the rescue.

mushfiq looking to finish things.

 

[Mystrey]

Why do you keep mentioning 77, they were 115/2 after 20 and they are choking miserably

 

[Justcrazy]

Bangalis need to keep cool head here.

 

[Justcrazy]

29 from 60 balls

Its just a matter of staying there.

 

[Justcrazy]

Another single.

 

[saiyan0312]

Why do you keep mentioning 77, they were 115/2 after 20 and they are choking miserably

Bcz thats the position i left them at and when i came back they were 133/6.

 

[Justcrazy]

Loud appeal , not out

Thats why its going to be Collapse Cup!

 

[saiyan0312]

Thats why its going to be Collapse Cup!

Yep Hope we win the collapse cup.

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

critical boundary , that will ease the nerves.

 

[saiyan0312]

You know at times like these minnow bashers like hafeez and afridi really come in handy.

 

[Smbhayi]

pathetic captaincy by mathews... why he holding back Malinga...?

 

[Justcrazy]

21 required now.

 

[Justcrazy]

Another appeal !!!!

Not Out

 

[saiyan0312]

At this time you give the ball to a yorker specialist.

 

[Gabbar Singh]

Good umpiring - Lankans whining as usual.

 

[WebGuru]

another one gone

 

[Justcrazy]

another twist

 

[saiyan0312]

arafat gone. Man this is turning into a blinder. Bangladesh choking.

 

[Justcrazy]

Bangalis choking here

 

[Smbhayi]

I think Mathews follow Dhoni's strategy.. he waits for last over to bring slinga...

 

[OZGOD]

Can Mushfiqur do it?

 

[saiyan0312]

debut boy who has a list A avg of 7 and rubel who has an avg of 4. All eyes on mushfiq

 

[Justcrazy]

Mushi needs to play smart cricket here , needs to keep strike , lots of balls left here.

 

[saiyan0312]

Next over mushfiq try to end things. Cant keep taking singles. he must farm strike.

 

[saiyan0312]

bring on malinga on against rubel.

 

[Justcrazy]

19 required , Mushi not on strike

 

[saiyan0312]

batting powerplay and malinga.

 

[Justcrazy]

Power play now.

 

[anakwalajinn]

Epic defensive shot from Rubel Hossain!

 

[saiyan0312]

maiden. 19 from 36 and mushfiq on strike.

 

[EarthBoltX]

The powerplay has been taken one over late, what's up with that?

 

[WebGuru]

WTH was that by bangla skipper
