Bangladesh beat Afghanistan by 141 runs in the 3rd ODI

[Xeeebon]

Come on minnows, fight!

And Afghanistan should not relent either.

Other two minnows are fighting in uae...

 

[MMHS]

Jus saw bangla score nd so much difference sabbir and riad position makes to bangla battin.

That was the plot, but probably they tried to fit in both Somya & Imrul. Ideally, Sakib should come at 5 & they should play Mosaddek at 4. Also, no point playing 3 pacers against England - Miraj should come and bat at 8 for the 3rd pacer.

 

[Shafi]

Bangladesh is all over Afghanistan. Lol.

How long Afghan is playing cricket!!!!

 

[Justcrazy]

65 / 4

19 overs

 

[MMHS]

Agree with u bhai. But at least in this match they r playing like the Bangladesh of 2015, apart from that 37-47 overs period of course.

Actually, Afghans are much better side than most credit them. Their batting is a bit hit & miss, but their bowling is quite good - they have couple of wicket taking spinners, for that they can always knock down couple in middle overs. Nabi & Rashid will make many other sides.

 

[Executioner]

Wickets in Bangladesh are perfect for ODIs in my opinion.

No obnoxious high-scores and not too many low scoring affairs. The boundaries are of decent size, although the stadiums can accomodate only 20-30k.

 

[omorst7]

spot on!!!

 

[Prince_]

Sleeping tigers have finally awaken. Wow. This is the Bangla team we all know of. Sharp, determined and really really enthusiastic on the field.


England should be worried now. Bangla were a bit rusty in first two matches but looks like they have finally managed to sort out their problem and so far they have played rather professionally in this match.

 

[JaDed]

hacks like Rohit and Sabbir like to bat up-top and actually perform there

I hate Rohit too but to Indian LOI side the dude is required so one might not like Sabbir but such players are needed nowadays in LOI good to see Bangla has one although imo he did well on pitches with some juice in Bangla.

I agree on Saikat seeing the last match i think he can handle things there but Shakib's ambitions might be hurt if he is played at 5.

Exactly, their Bowling looks really strong. Nabi and Rashid Khan both of them r fantastic bowlers. Especially that young leggi Rashid Khan, I've already become a fan of his bowling.

Sakib is No. 5, but today because of the good start they promoted him at 4 in quest of 325. He'll bat at 5, but Mushi needs to go down.

I can tell you, in Asia, they'll beat WI hacks 5-1 or 4-2 at worst.

Oh ok tbf Shakib seems a number 4 bat but i get the reasons,I ve massive dislike for Mushi(could be bias) plus whenever i watch Bangla match the guy NEVER scores but i guess he he has no replacement.

Against England the order should be

2.Sabbir
3.Riadh
4.Mosaddek
5.Shakib
6.Mushfiq
7.Soumya
8.Mashrafee
9.Taskin
10.Ruber
11.Mosarraf/razzaq

12.Nasir

 

[JaDed]

In Bangladesh(or any pitch where there is something for bowlers ) Afghans might do well against Windies or other teams but imo in Flat ones they aren't going to beat top teams.

Asia Cup 2012, Asia Cup 2014, CWC 2007!

He has plenty of innings against Mushy. TBH after Tamim, he is our best batsman. He is off-form off late all that at time when the focus is on him for that WT20 blunder. Check his performance in 2015 or even the years before that.

 

[JaDed]

Shenwari goes,this one is going to be won easily by Bangla boys and the thread won't stretch beyond 2nd page

Me too...he has good variations...

i know...it is because if selectors want to persist with him...else I would want nurul Hasan in that place...

Nurul is a good keeper but don't think he has what it takes to be a decent batsman

We have Riad Shakib Mushy Mosaddek in the middle order

10.Ruber
11.Mosarraf/razzaq

12.Nasir

If Soumya doesn't open, it's better to drop him & play Nasir at 7 (probably won't bowl for dubious action) or Liton at 3; while 3 pacers are a luxury against ENG without Mustafiz. In position of Rubel, Miraz should play, because ENG has probably 4 lefti in their line-up, an Offie is a must. Riad is the best player to bat at 6, hence I'll play Mossaddek or Liton at 3.

88 / 5

24 overs.

 

[Executioner]

Is it just me or did Shenwari was unlucky there. He seemed a bit dissappointed, either from a blunder or from his poor performance. Neither CI or Commies felt so.

I noticed that Mushy didn't really appeal like that.

 

[MMHS]

Pathetic weekend - 3 cricket matches, 2 is boring me to sleep, & that Test match doesn't deserve missing mid night's dream .....

 

[Executioner]

What is Athar Ali Khan on??

It is not possible for Afghanistan to chase this down. Not even 1 in 100 times at the current situation. They messed up their chance in the first ODI which was walk in the park

 

[Mainul]

The things I would do to have even one bowler as good as Rashid Khan

Dont even think he's 20 years old yet (officially anyway).

This kid has a bright future. IMO may even be selected in the next IPL. World class.

I am very much impressed too. He can trouble any top team in the world. A brilliant find by Afghanistan, a sign that their cricket structure has started to function to produce talent. It will be good for world cricket if Afghanistan becomes good.

It was a poor decision from umpire. I was surprised to see his fingers raised even after seeing live, then replay confirmed absence of a nick.This match has become boring and one sided.

Can Afghanistan score 100 here?

 

[Chief Destroyer]

A game late but predictable. Afghanistan lack run a ball players.

Hope England watches this match and shrouds under the table, seeing how Afghani talents are faltering against our world class spinners who "NEVER" spin the ball

If Mushfiqur of all people didn't appeal then there was no edge/nick.

I think the ball may have just kissed the gloves. But benefit of doubt should go to batsman. Incompetent umpires and no DRS to add to the woes

I've always been a fan of this Mosharof guy. Seems like an excellent bowler. Can't believe a bowler of his caliber playing international match again for Bangla after 8 long years.

What's the name of that Sri Lankan commie. The only thing I can hear him saying is how Bangla supporter goes quite when opponent batsman hits a boundary. He says the exact same thing 10/12 tines in every single match.

 

[GudduBadmash]

Should groom Najibullah as an opener and bat Rashid higher up.

Those slots are wasted by Asghar

Usman Ghani but a victim of politics, they need that spot open for Nowroz, Karim, Shabbir Noori

Hmm. I m glad that my boy Mosha has finally got the chance to show his true potential. I'm looking forward to see his bowling against English batters.

Good win for B'desh, a loss would have pushed them to no.8 spot in the rankings which is averted now. I hope ENG vs B'desh is a close series, good luck.

Sometimes I fear, when Shafiul bowls, his arm might come out of groove ..... but this guy once clocked 141KM!!!

Ha ha I thought he was an Indian. His posts in last 2 match threads don't look so

Gratz on the series win BTW.

Mosharaff has ordinary Fc & List A numbers in a huge sample size.

Bangladeshi wickets are ideal for spinners.


There is a reason for Mosharaf's Absense. There have been atleast 4 better left arm spinners than him in Bangladesh in last 10 years that's why he wasn't picked.

 

[Justcrazy]

Zardan on fire

 

[Justcrazy]

Rashid Khan gone

He bats too low, he needs time out there to make a big innings, always comes out in these types of situations when he has no other option but to slog.

our domestic cricket is not of good standard

Mediocre SLAs feast on the right handed batsman in our circuits.

BPL is better when showcasing actual skill and MHR has been good in BPLs

His FC stats are much better than you are suggesting. For that huge sample, his last year's performance is diluted. He had a poor start, then Razzak, Arafat & few other got his place, now he has made a come back. Also, spinners mature with age. He was one of the better bowlers in last couple of years, now made a come back & actually bowling well. I wonder when "Talent", "Caliber" sort of words will be ex-punched from PAK cricket forum.

Nope. Bangladesh cricket board banned 13 players for ten years for joining ICL back in 2008 and Mosharof was one of those 13 players.


If he hadn't decided to play in ICL I'm pretty sure he would've played lots of Odis in these years. At least he had the potential to be an excellent finger spinner.

Wasn't he used to be a regular face in Bangla team before he decided to play in ICL?

Shinwari missed it.

Umpiring has been very good and neutral in this series overall . Shenwari is not a Kohli.That decision has no effect whatsoever on this match. That was just a mistake from the umpire.

Nevertheless, Bangladesh has shown that where they really belong . Well played Afghanistan, barring this match. It was a good series.

It's all about confidence. He is off color with the bat and his brilliant reflex in the field is not there.

 

[MMHS]

Actually, most of the time a squad player, partially because he was not that good, partially because of presence of another SLAO spinner, by the name of Sakib Al Hasan. A decent player with a bit of batting skills, but, I think with experience, he has learned to read the batsman more. A stop gap solution, won't last more than few matches, but at the moment he is probably the best choice for 2nd spinner.
