Wheels are turning... Main batsman (Williamson) goes. Now NZ are in big hole!!

BD has improved a lot from last time I saw them.

So much for the spinner being the wrong option, spin was there to get McCullum and it's worked. Great captaincy

This pitch is not gripping or turning operating two spinner was poor with the wing available on this surface.
McCullum played a poor shot. Williamson too
 
This will show if NZ is really a championship worthy team. In the mean time, Lankan fans are having a heart attack. They were licking their lips with the prospect of a spin friendly match against SA in sydney. It will now be their nightmare against India if NZ doesn't bat well from here on

Well, if you don't play a poor shot, you would never be out. In a perfect world, that is.
 
Pakistan should make sure they face Kiwis, they can knock them out

No chance of Pakistan knocking Kiwis out. Pak will play 4 pace bowlers which will suit the Kiwis. And Pak top order will be blown away by Boult and Southee. Will be repeat of the Windies game 1-4
 
ohh gosh that was plumb :( what a miss by BD, damn, otherwise it would be 3 now and NZ will be biting their nails
 
That was plumb, but not given. :facepalm: bangladeshi for not reviewing it.

This will cost them the match now
 
Irrespective of what they do from here, I think they have done enough to not hear complain. Honestly speaking, they have played better cricket than some bigger teams in this WC so far. Sure, I don't expect them to do it all the time but I don't think that anyone should complain them getting to QF.

Even though ti was against minnows, they chased 300+ and then defended 275 against non-minnow to get to QF. And now made 288 against NZ. If this shouldn't be taken seriously then you are expecting a bit too much from a minnow who made it to QF.

I think it is about how you see them. If something thinks they're minnows then yes they have overachieved if you think they have been in international cricket for a while and should do better then I believe thy have a bit more to achieve. I personally agree with you they have played good cricket and have overwchieved than what was expected but that was because the bar was low, they can raise the bar now by playing further good cricket.
 
I think Streak had a word with Rubel.
He probably told him he was bowling short which is good. Bowl full.
 
Nz commentators cry about everything.
I prefer Sanjay Manjrekar over them.

Let's be honest here. Do you know anyone who doesn't see BD as minnow?

Yea bangladsh fans :P I agree they are still seen as minnows that's why I said I personally agree with you and if they compete well in Qfs they can silent their critics for some period.
 
Afghans doing very hard to get 100 in 50th over.

I could not hear but what was commie saying about not having coaches on the boundary?

"Losing would be a good thing for Nz as soon as they lost that 2nd wicket" (Ok, WOW!)
"Players talking to the coaches should be stopped" (how about you stop shane bond, eh?)
"Strange decision to bowl first by mccullum" (it didn't pay off, obviously)
And several other comments.
 
Guptull is playing of the backfoot, yere Rubel is disappointing.
Mortaza is missed badly here.
 
lol.... pak fans going so low? you want to run away from stronger opposition?

Only Pakistan fans with loser mentality want Bangla. I wan the Aussie in QF. If you want to win the World Cup, you have to beat the best.
 
But seriously, I don't get these threads. Some posters wanted Pakistan to lose against Ireland, some are praying for rain while others are praying for Bangladesh encounter.

Tigers don't do that. :46:

Parosio k mun mein bhi pani aya hua hay :D
 
Well at least we picked up two wickets, match gone now
You are too pessimistic. I would say that the chances of Bangladesh winning are about 60%. NZ batsmen are scoring but they have a long way to go and another wicket falling will put them under a lot of pressure.
 
Excellent show by BD here. India will do well to take them seriously, if they ,meet in the QF. BD are no pushover
 
Full respect to bangladesh. To the pakistan fans who think Bangladesh will never beat them again I completely disagree
 
Bangladesh quicks have boweled to short.
All the shorts are played of the back-foot and defensive strokes a well
