Why do you guys keep bringing AFG? WI is 2x world chamption in T20 and we destroyed them in ODI in their home.

Yes ODI is the best format of Bangladesh team but to be considered competitive in world cricket as a whole there should be atleast some consistency and performance in other formats as well.
 
lol at comparing T20Is with ODIs

we have 4/5 batsmen averaging 35 with good SR. Afghanistan have like 1/2 that playing mostly associates.
 
So India are without Kohli and Bangladesh have just lost Tamim. If Pakistan still can't win this tournament they will be exposed.
 
Afghanistan are not minnows in T20s. In fact I would back them to beat Pakistan in a series right now.

Apologies I dont get what you are referring to. Anyways BD is not a minnow or somewhat in the grey area now as atleast there is one format they are competitive in.
 
Afghanistan can beat Lanka WI BD in T20Is.

But ODIs is different ball game

Agreed, but Test cricket doesnt make any sense whatsoever. Americans were smart enough to realize that and created their own version of Cricket rather than following subcontinent way.

in my opinion, ODI is only sensible format.

I dont know about Indians but did you just admit that you are a one man army that is reliant on one player to take them over the edge? That exposes your own team more than anyone else's team.

And oh by the way, if you didnt get the memo, when were you guys ever in contention for winning the tournament?

Yes it has a balance to it. But considering the smartness of Americans it should be T20s as its not that time consuming unlike other formats of cricket.

Tests dont make sense because we are not good in tests.

T20s are not taken seriously, fun cricket because we are not good at t20Is.

lmao you guys
 
Mathews is the key here. If he can bat till 35 overs and Thisara remaining in the dressing room there will be a good game of cricket.

If BD is a minnow,Pak got whitewashed to them in ODIs, just saying.

Agreed as ODIs requires consistent performance for longer period but its not too far away that they will be competitive in ODIs as well.

When was that? And how many players from that team are playing for Pakistan today? And how many times has bangaldesh won against Pakistan? And how many times has bangladesh beaten Pakistan after that 3 match series?

Is Zimbabwe not a minnow because they used to thrash India in the 90s?

It has nothing to do with good or bad. ODI is the most balanced cricketing format. Without ODI test cricket would have been extinct long ago. In fact, without ODI I would not even followed any cricket or type up this message in Pakpassioin.

I have respect for Test cricket even though I do not watch it. Can you tell me how many overs of test cricket do you watch?

T20 is just for fun and something taking your girlfriend or wife out to.

And when did that happen they used to thrash us, go check who they beat recently.

As usual umpires r giving every decision against Bangladesh. Thx to DRS, we have taken a wicket.

This is exactly how we got robbed of a victory against India in world cup.
Click to expand...

Oh yeah! The whole world is out to get Bangladesh. You're always victimised.

Stop crying like a little baby all the time and maybe people will give you some respect.

Bangladesh lost the match by 109 runs!! Not 20 runs or 30 runs or even 50. Nothing that 1 wicket would have changed.

Your team lost because its a very very average team. That's the reality. They play well sometimes and fail most other times. That's the truth of Bangladesh cricket.

You can try to downplay test cricket or t20I cricket all you want but thats why you guys will never be an important or big team.

Each and every format has its own value. Test cricket comes on top.

T20 is just for fun? What exactly is fun? Losing to Afghanistan?

Why dont you start with answering my questions?

Zimbabwe beat India in 1998 and 2001 in test cricket. I have answered mine.

That comment was intended to answer the question that a good team can be beaten in T20s, to which I said yes can be beaten but not whitewashed even if its a T20 series.

So BD should not send their main team in T20 World Cup?
 
Required rate is below 6 , Lanka need to make sure it remains within reach at the end of 35 overs mark.

Ok, AFG is a far superior team to BD since BD is still a minnow. Are you guys satisfied now?
 
Dont see SRL coming back from this. What a comeback from Bangladesh. Terrific stuff!

Congrats from my side!
 
Lol! Todays match other than Mushfiq’s innings is not a good advertisement for cricket
 
A lot has happened in this match but was a pretty boring match quality wise.

He should have said T20 is not a real measure of cricketing skills. Afghanistan haven't beaten us in a Test yet so we can save that discussion for a later time.

BD are improving as a Test side. We've managed to beat England and Australia at home, so I'd imagine we could do the same to SA or NZ as well. Thats half of the "big teams" you speak off, so not terribly bad. Pakistan and India have very poor records away from home despite playing the game for the better part of a century. BD have only been playing for a quarter of that time span, and even less than that as a serious team.
 
Spinners are loving it now as Srl lost most of their wickets before spinners were even into attack

Bangladesh team and its fans gets more respect than u guys will ever get.

It's a well known fact that umpires were extremely biased in that match and shamelessly favouring India with all their 50/50 decision.

It was so bad that even the vice chairman of ICC slammed match officials for their partiality to somehow make India get to the next round.

This is the same reason why India has always protested against the mandatory implementation of DRS in international cricket match. Because they knew that if DRS became a mandatory they wouldn't get any unfair adventage from the umpires anymore.

So other than world cup, teams deliberately lose because they are having fun, right?

Why is it bothering you, mate? Is it because Pakistan's T20 ranking is on the line? And if proved wrong, the ranking's credibility comes under question? No complaints about the ranking system now, is there?
 
Everybody fears an inform Bangladesh team.

BD bowlers r now running through the SL batting lineup.
 
We have a quality bowling attack. Anyone disregarding that haven't watched our boys bowl.

Thread has got nearly 400 replies and Pakistan isn't even playing. Don't need your stamp of approval to certify whether a match is entertaining or not. Your team isn't playing and no one has asked you to watch. Feel free to go watch highlights of Pakistan minnow-bashing a Zimbabwe D side - that was great advertisement for cricket right?

No need to bring up this topic. Its bygone and India is/was a better team than BD. They also beat us again in CT.

If Ind vs BD did not occur in 2007, Ind could have won the tourney maybe. Same, maybe BD could have done something better in 2015 WC if we didnt keep playing India at major tournament in knockout stages.

2007 WC-BD knocked out IND in group stage
2011 WC -BD loss to IND ultimately cost them next round
2015 WC-IND knocked out BD in QF
2017 CT- IND knocked out BD in Semi.
 
This trophy already belongs to Bangladesh, these matches are just a formality.
 
SL losing by big RR might mean 1 win against Afghanistan might not be enough for them.

Last game is BD vs Afg and if Afghanistan is winning BD might not resist, because both team will go through.

Provide us with a credible source for that.

And no mate, you get no respect. Because your fans, your media, you don't know how to give respect. And so you deserve none in return.
 
I thought this game was going to be interesting, Bangla rolling SL over. SL vs HongKong might be interesting.

Mind boggling honestly.

Their first test win overseas was in PAKISTAN and first overseas test series victory against Pak -1998

Zim' also first test win was against Pak in 1994.

Seriously can't you google before bringing India's stats against Zim up?

Did I ever say that Pak vs Zim was a great series?

Looking at the fileiding and batting of both sides it wasnt high quality stuff and I stick to what I said. You dont have to agree.
 
This is some unappealing batting from SL. What are theese guys doing?

We scored 260 in a 230 wicket
Our opponents 7 wicket for under 100
Yes we had one bad catch attempt but otherwise we were far superior

When the side is 3-4 down inside 10 overs spinners look good more offen then not as its rare batsmen will take risk against them.

We were effectively 3 down after 10 and we crushed Lanka spinners

It was mainly due to the efforts of Akila Dhananjaya who hasnt joined the squad yet. However, Bang has outperformed srl but in no way a ruthless performance. Both sides have made mistakes but Srl made more
