[nextover666666]

I smell a close game but I think New Zealand will end up with the win

 

[Dios]

Can New Zealand break the streak? They haven't beaten the Tigers in five years. Seven defeats in a row. The Kiwis must be getting nightmares.

 

[Dios]

Mashrafe to be rested. Most like Shakib captaining today.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

I expect the Kiwis to win this one, not going to be a close one, it will be pretty one sided. Hope we score more than 100 and not let Macca finish the game off within 6 overs.

 

[Dios]

Another Rubel special today?

McCullum averages around 20 from about 15 matches against Bangladesh. His worst record against any team. He has faced ten deliveries from Rubel in his career and has been out three times. #Bunny

Without any doubt Bangla is the only team who is capable of defeating mighty newzealand

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Badla match for the Kiwis, Revenge of the Blackcaps, they will comes hard at us, we just need to give it back

Bangladesh have more to play for though. We finish top no matter the result

BD itinerary in WC 15 was good or lucky it seems. Opening against AFG, washout against AUS, and then playing NZ in the last game.

 

[blackanhyellow]

Cheering for our former country men.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Go Bengali Tigers

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Our Corey Anderson aka Zia ur Rahman should have been in the team, in these pitches he would have been unstoppable

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Scores against the Mighty Black Caps:

Sri Lanka 233
Scotland 142
England 123
Aussies 151
Afghanistan 186

Dominant Bowling performance from the black caps.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Where are my boys at? Is everyone sleeping?

 

[Energetic]

Where are my boys at? Is everyone sleeping?

Dead rubber.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Haha from cricinfo

Looks like he just skipped out of the warm-ups to drop this line for us, Taskin Ahmed: "I am ready for the Blackcaps. "

 

[Strike Rate]

Going to support East Pakistan and the next generation pace battery led by Taskin and Rubel

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Dead rubber.

Hope boys get some practice before the quarterfinal.

 

[NZcricketfan]

Isn't it kind of disrespectful to call them east pakistan considering they were treated as second class citizens

 

[desi_launda]

Hopefully BD has mercy on NZ and plays us in the quarters

 

[Strike Rate]

Isn't it kind of disrespectful to call them east pakistan considering they were treated as second class citizens

Even in today's Pakistan citizens are treated second class and only 1% of elite class get access to everything so much for the so called democracy so they were not alone in that case and written history is not 100% accurate too.

Damn it. Bangladesh better score some runs. I want atleast one full black caps game this world cup...

WTH lol. naser: "Nasir should play today. An extra batsman would be handy against nz attack."

 

[Aman]

They will. NZ need a proper run chasing a decent score as well.

NZ might endup defending their a total in QF they should have practiced some batting first here

 

[BDfanforever]

I like this move from NZ. They werent selfish like SRL and SA, trying to make batting records against minnows by choosing to bat first.

 

[Aman]

Tbh Kiwis don't really care, there's nothing on the line. Its all about getting a good hit out.

 

[Anfield]

Could someone tell me why does Nasir Hussain bat at number 8? I thought he was th next best batsman after shakib?

 

[Aman]

Dead rubber.

It isn't for you guys.

 

[BDfanforever]

No, instead he became the next best selfie taker after Sehzad.

It's not being selfish those teams did get chasing practice too as defending and got the time to correst their mistakes. SL did chase 300+ against England and scored 300+ against Australia too

 

[Strike Rate]

No, instead he became the next best selfie taker after Sehzad.

he got attitude issues too? I had high hopes from this guy when i saw him for the first time back in 2012

 

[Strike Rate]

It isn't for you guys.

If they really want to skip QF against India and face SA

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Pretty much the same for us, we rested Mash, need the big lad ready for the Quarters.

 

[BDfanforever]

They wanted Sanga and de Villers to score 100s. That's the reason why they choose to bat first. Otherwise, they could have wrapped up the game pretty quickly by bowling first.

Or may be in the case of SRL, they really wanted to avoid IND.

 

[Aman]

If they really want to skip QF against India and face SA

Little difference between the two.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

If they really want to skip QF against India and face SA

India over South Africa anyday, our players are scared of big names like Steyn, Morkel etc. Mohit Sharma, Yadav, Ashwin doesn't scare me as much. We will lose but at least we will lose giving it back.

 

[Strike Rate]

Little difference between the two.

they stand a big chance against SA because so far SA never won a KO match in WC which will be in their mind and make them under pressure against specially if chasing anything above 250 on the other hand BD will have nothing on line

 

[BDfanforever]

If they really want to skip QF against India and face SA

Hmmm, I'd take my chances against the chokers over IND any day. Then again facing Steyn....

 

[Strike Rate]

Trust me you guys stand a much better chance against SA this SA side was even struggling again a 44 year old UAE spinner.

 

[Strike Rate]

Steyn is not that great ODI bowler for me Imran Tahir is their main ODI bowler and i think BD can handle leg spin

 

[NZcricketfan]

This is the home ground for boult southee and vettori. It could get nasty

IND dont have Tamim's favorite Zak anymore. Shami is best bowler in Asia now: fast as hell and accurate.

 

[Strike Rate]

northern district? i remember boult and southee were part of that team and Williamson was there too and that beard guy what was his name

 

[Aman]

No they don't. Too big of a mismatch in quality, the SAs will actually be at ease.

 

[BDfanforever]

Oh shoot...

 

[Aman]

Trust me, they don't. Like Ash said, Bangladesh fear big names.

 

[BDfanforever]

No they don't. Too big of a mismatch in quality, the SAs will actually be at ease.

Their was a lot more difference in quality back in 2007 WC, but RSA did what they do best which choking under pressue.

3 ATGs who are great at minnow bullying.

 

[Strike Rate]

Trust me, they don't. Like Ash said, Bangladesh fear big names.

my point is their chances against SA are slightly better than facing India in QF

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Trust me you guys stand a much better chance against SA this SA side was even struggling again a 44 year old UAE spinner.

Still happy with India. South Africa is too big of a team for us.

 

[Aman]

No offense, SA probably still see you as minnows

 

[Anfield]

No, instead he became the next best selfie taker after Sehzad.

I hope there was a point somewhere?

Kohli is a future bunny of Taskin

Oh shoot...

Double shoot, let's take a nap brah.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

IND dont have Tamim's favorite Zak anymore. Shami is best bowler in Asia now: fast as hell and accurate.

We will handle Shami well, be positive bro, subcontinental bowlers looks like us so we bash them up haha, when someone like Steyn comes Tamim starts shaking and gets out.

 

[Strike Rate]

The only team BD will never want to face in KO matches is Pakistan and it doesn't matter how bad Pakistan is they always manage a victory against BD. I think the only match Pakistan lost against in history against BD was 1999 otherwise the record is something like 50-1

True, we have a mental blockade against Pakistan.

haha yeah not to mention 6'6 Morkel.

Wow NZ playing their best XI while BD resting their captain. NZ are scared like I said.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

haha yeah not to mention 6'6 Morkel.

Morkel 6'6 vs Mominul 4'9 what a sight that would be

 

[BDfanforever]

True, we have a mental blockade against Pakistan.

I thought we would win in the last game when we made 300+ then Afridi went berserk.

Oh yes we are petrified. .....

we also had a a very low total defended against BD if you remember that game where flood lights failed and match was stopped?

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

I thought we would win in the last game when we made 300+ then Afridi went berserk.

I was in the stadium for the match, good match, Afridi bashed shakib like Chokka Naeem bashes Shahadat.

and guess what that was the highest total Pakistan ever chased in ODIs lol 327

 

[Dios]

Oh yes we are petrified. .....

How else do you explain playing all of McCullum, Williamson, Taylor, Vettori, Southee and Boult when first place is guaranteed for you guys? They want to break the streak.

Lol they were pretty sad.

We played our full.strength against afghanistan when we were already basically guaranteed top spot.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

did you gave tissues to those poor girls? i was so upset when i saw them crying

I didn't see anyone crying during that match, I saw the yellow guy jumping up and down, what a creep that guy is. LOL, there are two yellow guys.

Swinging miles

Maiden. Successfully misses and gets beaten Imrul.

They are looking clueless against boult's swing.
