Australia [381/5] beat Bangladesh [333/8] by 48 runs in 26th match of 2019 World Cup

[Shafi]

Good Bowling!!!!

 

[nandanraj]

Pitches are prepared by ICC not ECB..if it was upto ECB I am pretty sure they would have given a raging turner.they don’t like Aussies that much

 

[sweep_shot]

Wicket seems fine. I have seen worse pitches. This is typical modern ODI wicket.

 

[Shafi]

Need to break the opening pair, otherwise we are chasing 375

Injury has started to effect now - will be missing both Mosaddek & Saif.

Bangladesh can chase up to 340. Australia bowling nothing special

 

[Mainul]

Not good. Two of our key players are missing and bat first would have been the best

 

[nandanraj]

Starc and Cummins will eat you alive.. don’t be too cocky

 

[Sir-fraz]

Condition is way more important.

ECB has taken the fun out of this match by dishing out such belter of a pitch to Australia.

How you play the conditions is more important.

You should take off your pak loving glasses and look at the biggee picture.

Our team is not that good. Nor do our players have heart, they dont even play for pakistan. They play for themselves.

Now with grouping rumors coming out, it makes more sense.

 

[RainMan_]

Not good. Two of our key players are missing and bat first would have been the best

No key players r missing.

Safiudfin must be the worst player to represent BD.

I would take rubel over that trundler anyday.

 

[sweep_shot]

Let's not be salty. It makes us look bad.

 

[sindhiboy]

rubel should come in place of mashrafe. bangladesh has many experienced players like mushfiqur, shakib, even mahamdullah who can captain

 

[Sir-fraz]

Need to break the opening pair, otherwise we are chasing 375��

Injury has started to effect now - will be missing both Mosaddek & Saif.

Bro, you guys need another new bowl bowler. Masharafe is smart, but his body is done.

 

[sweep_shot]

rubel should come in place of mashrafe. bangladesh has many experienced players like mushfiqur, shakib, even mahamdullah who can captain

Mashrafe is captain and inspirational figure. He is our Dhoni (pretty much).

 

[nandanraj]

Yeah I think rubel is better.. saiffudin will be good only if it swings a lot

 

[Imran Hasan]

Need Finch's wicket as early as possible or he will take the game away from us. He is in a tremendous form.

 

[Imran Hasan]

Was that a drop catch?

 

[nandanraj]

Lol Murtaza is bowling tripes... why shakib or Mushfiqur cannot be captain

 

[Sir-fraz]

Cant drop catches meng

 

[sweep_shot]

I think BD is doing alright so far. This is a batting pitch. 27-0 after 5 overs is not bad. They need wickets soon though.

 

[ab041937]

Last minnow for Australia & they seem to want to extract maximum juice here. Already bashing has started.

 

[nandanraj]

Warner dropped..Bengali bros need to take such catches

 

[Imran Hasan]

That cat eyed Sabbir is good for nothing.

 

[baggy blue]

Win or lose Bangladesh is the most exciting team to watch. Thy name passion

 

[sweep_shot]

Sabbir dropped the catch. I don't know why they keep on selecting this clown. Imrul Kayes would've been better.

 

[nandanraj]

Sabbir shows so much attitude.. he is tripe though

 

[nandanraj]

No they are not... have you seen passion of Kohli...

 

[Mainul]

AUS shall make over 350 here if no early wickets

 

[Khan12]

Always thought Sarfraz was a specialist captain, but Mashrafe is giving him a good competition and may well be winning it.

 

[nandanraj]

Sarfaraz is a yawning kaptaan

 

[nandanraj]

Question for Bangla supporters...where is taskin

 

[ab041937]

Now that Shikhar Dhawan is out, Finch & Warner is the finest opening pair in the World Cup. They didn't seem to be getting out in any match so far. On drops the anchor which other motors. Smart strategy!!

 

[sweep_shot]

Taskin didn't get selected. He was out of form.

Our pacers this time --> Mashrafe, Mustafiz, Rubel, Saifuddin, and Abu Jayed.

 

[nandanraj]

Well to be honest I would have preferred him.. he brings pace..

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Will be difficult for Warner robins make an impact unless he gets his rhythm back quickly. Not every bowling attack is as mediocre as Pakistan's.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

I feel more confident in Mithun over Sabbir, the guy averages 25 after repeated failures and speaks in third person. He’s such a tool

 

[sweep_shot]

BD spinners will have to bowl really well. They will probably determine the outcome of this game.

 

[nandanraj]

I agree on that.. too much attitude and less substance

 

[Hasan2K8]

Taskin should’ve been in the squad instead of Abu Jayed. Jayed won’t play, so what’s the point? Jayed might not play much ODI at all this year, definitely not at home. Taskin is tall, has pace, he is your future speedster. You got to invest in such.

 

[sweep_shot]

I feel more confident in Mithun over Sabbir, the guy averages 25 after repeated failures and speaks in third person. He’s such a tool

I also think the same. I would have Chris Martin over Sabbir. I bet Chris Martin would score more runs than Sabbir.

Mithun did well during Asia Cup. He can bat properly.

 

[nandanraj]

Shakib spell very important.

 

[nandanraj]

lol at Athers for always stating the obvious

 

[sweep_shot]

Athar is not good but this is the best BD commentator we have. Others are worse.

 

[nandanraj]

Yes completely agree...as our beloved neighbours say.....pace is pace yaar

 

[Hasan2K8]

I feel more confident in Mithun over Sabbir, the guy averages 25 after repeated failures and speaks in third person. He’s such a tool

Liton always averages mid 20s. So you would’ve preferred Mithun over Liton last match?

Sabbir has sort of the x factor. He can take the game away. But he never was a number 3 and haturu tried hard to ruin him at 3. Sabbirs position should be 6-7, 5 would be good but thats taken.

 

[nandanraj]

He is alright I guess..at least there is some representation from Bangladesh

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Australia should win this game.

I know people write off Australia as "not good enough" but they will be in the semi finals.

 

[AAli98]

Any tournament with bangla within a sniff of semis should not be taken seriously..

No paceman no world class leggie.. just dustbowl specialist finger spinners can get you so far in a tourney!

 

[sweep_shot]

If Australia goes to semi-final, they will probably win the final.

 

[Hasan2K8]

Good to see Mash bowling his 5th. Needs to bowl out most of his overs by 30th

 

[sweep_shot]

Liton always averages mid 20s. So you would’ve preferred Mithun over Liton last match?

Sabbir has sort of the x factor. He can take the game away. But he never was a number 3 and haturu tried hard to ruin him at 3. Sabbirs position should be 6-7, 5 would be good but thats taken.

What x-factor? Sabbir played some good T20 innings but he was always garbage in ODI.

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

Australia should beat Bangladesh easily.

 

[RainMan_]

Rain approachong.

This world cup should be called off. So far it has been beyond pathetic.

We missed an easy win against srilanka.

 

[sweep_shot]

Weather report says no rain. These are harmless clouds probably.

 

[RainMan_]

Australia should beat Bangladesh easily.

Unless their opposition is India. If that happens then they will have to play on a used, slow,
and low turning wicket.

 

[Hasan2K8]

Good over by Mashrafe

 

[Shafi]

Always thought Sarfraz was a specialist captain, but Mashrafe is giving him a good competition and may well be winning it.

Mashrafee is the legendary captain of Bangladesh. He transformed a nothing team to be a formidable team, where Sarfraz actually made our team more timid than before with his incompetency.

 

[Hasan2K8]

Need to take wickets. Need both of the openers out.

Shakib in the first PP.

 

[sweep_shot]

Finch is hitting spinners well. He took Hafeez to the cleaners the other day.

 

[ab041937]

50 up in 10th over

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Liton always averages mid 20s. So you would’ve preferred Mithun over Liton last match?

Sabbir has sort of the x factor. He can take the game away. But he never was a number 3 and haturu tried hard to ruin him at 3. Sabbirs position should be 6-7, 5 would be good but thats taken.

Liton has an x factor to win matches, Sabbir is not a match winner, also Sabbir struggles and is arrogant. Liton is a decent guy and is humble. Watch interviews of Sabbir, the guy is a tool and thinks he has achieved everything. Liton is hungry for success, Sabbir thinks he is bradman.

 

[Hasan2K8]

England gained momentum in the last few overs of the first pp against BD. So here BD done ok on batting wickt fast outfield. Aus 53-0 10. Decent first pp for BD considering the wicket and ground. It could’ve been worse like 70-80 odd

 

[Hasan2K8]

Introduce Rubel in after 15!

 

[sweep_shot]

I think BD has done alright. 53-0 after 10 overs is fine considering this is a batting pitch.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

What x-factor? Sabbir played some good T20 innings but he was always garbage in ODI.

X- Factor in beating up fans

 

[sweep_shot]

I do not understand the appeal of Sabbir. This clown should be replaced with someone like Imrul Kayes.

 

[Hasan2K8]

Mashrafe hasn’t taken wickets in the PP. because he isn’t bowling seam up as much, he is bowling cross seam as if he is bowling in Mirpur. But he has been economically. And his leadership is priceless for Bangladesh. So he is important for the team.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

I do not understand the appeal of Sabbir. This clown should be replaced with someone like Imrul Kayes.

Nah man Imrul is too slow, Mosaddek is best suited for the team. We will miss him badly here today

 

[Hasan2K8]

Rubel needs to get into, playing his first game of this WC. Needs to be at his best in the middle overs.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Mahmudullah is such a sissy fielder

 

[Hasan2K8]

Good decent pace. Good ball by Rubel.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Shakib going the Rashid Khan way We are doomed

 

[Hasan2K8]

BD need wickets. This ground is weird af with the shape of the ground. Flat wicket short boundaries. Need wickets to break this partnership

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Warner struggled against India and Srilanka as their bowlers are decent, he has only been fluent against us and Pakistan.

 

[sweep_shot]

83-0 after 14 overs. They need wickets now.

 

[ab041937]

If Warner & Smith stay for another 10 overs then Bangladesh too will be out of World Cup.

 

[sweep_shot]

Australia is not running away like England though. England was scoring at around 7 runs per over at this stage.

 

[angrypathan]

Harsha Bhogle hate incoming from Bangladesh

 

[Hasan2K8]

Rubel bowling well

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Need these 2 out.

350 will be too much

 

[Hasan2K8]

I been saying this all a long. Rubel is penetrative in the middle overs he is Bangladesh best bowler since 2015 IMO. Even stats might back that too. Havinf Saif and Mash two bowling 77-81 mph in the middle on a flat wicket short boundaries it’s lot easier.

 

[Hasan2K8]

Mehidy is too expensive in ODI’s. He bowls too many freebies
