[MENTION=135445]Strike Rate[/MENTION] Rohaan and Saqlain both belongs to my locality, my elder brother club team mates :)
 
Not only is this thread dead, seems like there's barely anyone inside the stadium.
 
NAveed is bowling with good pace. around 140 kph . troubling dilshan
 
This Asia Cup looks boring i dont know why but i find bangladesh a boring place for cricket. It should have been held in India and it would have been good preparation for the Teams.

Unfortunately Sri Lanka vs UAE was never going to be a big draw.

TBH I'd love to watch cricket in a near-empty stadium, you can even pick up what the players are saying.
 
SL two down now.

This is a better batting wicket but there is still some bounce for the bowlers. Hope they persist with this pitch for the rest of the tournament.
 
Shanaka, a player to look out for.

Pretty good hitter of the ball who also bowls very decent medium pace.
 
Sri Lanka looking very ordinary so far. Can't wait until Bangladesh play an ODI series against them. They will join the Banglawash club for sure together with New Zealand, West Indies and Pakistan.
 
Oh boy.. Just saw the score.. Pretty worse for SL 3 down for 80 odd runs in 13 overs... Boy they can lose this... :O
 
SL win will but they arent too strong in this tournament and WC. Their team is undergoing transition. Ind and Pak are favourites from subcontinent

Pakistan lost to Bangladesh in T20. Can't call them favourites. India is way ahead of all the Asian teams in T20s.
 
Amjad is a good bowler. As usual Bhogle credits the pitch. Whenever a pacer picks up a wicket Bhogle and Manjrekar gives credit to the pitch :facepalm:.
 
If they can get Mathews here it will be massive for UAE. This other guy looks like a hack. 5 off 9 so far.
 
No boundaries in 44 balls! UAE has done very well here.

And gone!
 
So tell me why PP Asia Cup banner at the top has a picture of Thisara Perera ? At the front tooo:moyo
 
Shanaka is gone. UAE bowling well so far. Associates can realistically only maximize their bowling standard. In order to be a good bowler, you can do that by yourself, as a batsmen you must face top quality bowlers to become that.
 
He is better than most of the commies when it comes to being entertaining. Says some dumb stuff here and there.

Somehow, I never liked listening to him. Especially, during IPL games, a combo of him and LSRK (a match made in hell for my ears/senses) :P

Holy s h i t , just saw the scorecard,the silver storm is real :AAG
 
How good is UAE's batting? I have a feeling Malinga, Chameera and Herath will be too good for them on this pitch.
 
People have always doubted firebreaker, he ended up proving everyone wrong. Remember when he made a thread about going to England, everyone made fun of him and then BAM he posts a picture of him standing inside the lords and shuts up everyone.
 
What what what...... What is going on. SL is really sucking here
 
UPSET ALERT!

Sri Lanka has just completely dropped off. This is shockingly bad cricket. 113/6 to the UAE? That said, UAE is putting lots of pressure on the Sri Lankans. Is Naveed an expat type that might be able to make it into Pakistan or India side or is he actually an emirati?
 
Why are they not slogging. Send malinga in, he will smash 2 sixes at least!
 
19th over of the inning and a spinner is bowling, Kapu n co should make full use of it.
 
Kapugedera should've been sent at 4 after the start they got. SL management is just as stupid as Pakistan's.
 
It's T20s so anything can happen. Just like Nehrah and Bumrah who would otherwise be beaten black and blue can feel like they are the new Wasim and Waqar.

Bumrahh had never been beaten black and blue in international cricket, bumrrah isn't your average bowler but whatever i am sure you would like to believe otherwise
