Op,correct bd team...add taskin as 14th member....

 

[Anik Sharma]

You forgot to add taskin ahmed. There was 14 th member slot open for him in case he gets approval from icc. And as soon as he was cleared he was added as 14th playing member in the squad.
And he should even start against Afghanistan.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Should be a good game.

 

[kingusama92]

Let's see if the Afghanis turn up today.

 

[Executioner]

Heading to the stadium

Best wishes to Afghanistan team. Hope we win

 

[DRsohail]

good luck afghanistan..

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

'Somya Sarkar gone. Poor shot. What is he doing?

 

[Anik Sharma]

Horrendous shot. Senseless. Pathetic. Some one has pulled his brain out. Thus the pull shot.

 

[Dios]

Soumya is completely out of form.

 

[Anik Sharma]

Good shot

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Tamin in form. Lovely shots.

 

[Shafi]

Let's see if Tamim can score 200 runs

 

[Prince_]

Sarkar is absolutely crap and should have been dropped from the squad.

 

[MMHS]

My half spirit gone - why are they playing this dead man walking Kayes!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Prince_]

My half spirit gone - why are they playing this dead man walking Kayes!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But he's playing good.

 

[MMHS]

But he's playing good.

Many others could have played good, they should have debuted Mosaddek.

 

[street cricketer]

I expect Tamim to score a hundred here.

 

[Anik Sharma]

My half spirit gone - why are they playing this dead man walking Kayes!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He played great in last odi series VS Zimbabwe

 

[MMHS]

Actually, Kayes is in tremendous form.

 

[Prince_]

Atahar doesn't even know the name of the player of his own country. Mustafizur Rahim........ Really??

 

[Dios]

Edge master Kayes is so hopeless. Why does he keep getting picked for LOIs?

 

[MMHS]

Atahar doesn't even know the name of the player of his own country. Mustafizur Rahim........ Really??

He was dreaming something else - it's a slip of tongue.

 

[Dios]

Don't Afghanistan have any commentators? None of the commentators have any clue about the Afghan players.

 

[MMHS]

I think, they have dropped Nasir for his bowling action. Next match, Sarker & Kayes should be dropped & Mosaddek & Nasir should come back. Also, team is selected for 1st 2 matches - I hope they debut Miraz in last match.

 

[GenericBrand]

Kayes is a left-over from BD's failed last generation of players who manages to cling on somehow.

Sarkar has really disappointed me bhai. I really Don't know what has actually happened to him. His performance against Pakistan made me believe that after a long time Bangla got a perfect partner for Tamim.

2nd year syndrome - this happens in every sports. Look at Mahrez & Payet this year in EPL. Teams have worked out his game - now he has to find his own way out. This is where coaching, mentoring, culture & intelligence comes. There are too many PAK batsmen who started career with bang, only to be worked out in couple of years time - I hope Soumya can come out of this.

 

[Shafi]

160 is more than enough for Bangladesh to win. Afghanistan will not survive against Mashrafe, Taskin, Taijul Islam, Rubel and Sakib. Afghanistan is already making excuse. According to cricinfo "Some of the top Afghan players are missing"

 

[GenericBrand]

Lol no way this Rashid Khan is only 18 years old, he looks like he's in his mid-20s

 

[Shafi]

What is the par score in this ground? 300+ very likely

 

[MMHS]

What is the par score in this ground? 300+ very likely

Probably 250 now in even contest. This is early season still, wicket hasn't settled much. There is decent bounce, which should help bowlers.

Afghanistan does not miss any players. Shapoor is dropped. Hamid Hassan is injured and has been since 2012, so this is pretty much the best team at the moment. The commentators just does not anything about Afghanistan cricket.

It's a bit funny they are criticizing afghanistan selection, but has absolutley no idea about afghan cricket.

Damn, missed it by 20 runs.

 

[Ind_Yeah]

Slow pitch seems like?

The Prince from Dhaka, oops sorry "India" is very active on this thread. Wonder when/if he will come clean...

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

What is the par score???

I think Afghanistan will struggle to chase anything above 200.

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Afghanistan dropping catches left and right. You cannot win when you have to take 20 wickets.

 

[Energetic]

Bangladesh are too strong in ODIs at home – even for Australia. Even if they score 250, it's equivalent to scoring 300 due to their bowling attack for this form. I'm afraid England stands slim chances of winning even one game on their tour.

Anything above 280 will be tough for Afg. Bangla batting has improved a lot. In the absence of "Fizz" Bang bowling attack is nothing great. They will have to win games with the batting against England - and that is by no means a given.

these commentators seem to know nothing about afghan cricket and are very biased. i have been watching the whole match and they been continuesly criticizing afghan team. they even criticized the player for getting injured and asked for some treatment. bangladesh are playing so slowly but not once have they pointed this out. realy poor commentry..

lol that was funny!!!he is "lota"he will support any team accept pakistan

 

[Prince_]

Pathetic decision. That was way too high. Lol

 

[f.b.m]

ATG Sabbir Rahman out to the legspinner who is only 18 afridi years old.

 

[Dios]

Shabbir got robbed with that decision. Ball was already higher than the stumps at contact.

 

[saeed5646]

Pathetic decision. That was way too high. Lol

bhai dua kr bangladesh jeet jia warna maina teri bht fit se class leni hai

 

[Dios]

Afghanistan are still in this. They can still very much win if they can restrict Bangladesh to around 260 and bat sensibly. Or if Shehzad gets lucky and strikes a whirlwind century. It is pretty obvious that the Bangladeshis are very rusty.

U r one confused guy.......... U seem to be the only one around here who for some strange reasons believe that I'm from Bangla lol. Everyone else knows that I'm Indian

They are extremly ignorant.

 

[Prince_]

bhai dua kr bangladesh jeet jia warna maina teri bht fit se class leni hai

Afghanistan is currently playing pretty good cricket but sadly they r still not good enough to win against this Bangla team in limited overs Cricket.

But yes u r correct about the fact that Afghanistan will comparatively give much tougher time to Bangla.............at least Bangla won't win as easily as they won against Pakistan

 

[Ind_Yeah]

U r one confused guy.......... U seem to be the only one around here who for some strange reasons believe that I'm from Bangla lol. Everyone else knows that I'm Indian

Sure an "Indian" with delusions about Bangladesh superiority in cricket. And super-touchy when it comes to any criticism of Bang cricket team. Yeah. I've got a bridge in Brooklyn to sell too...

 

[Prince_]

They are extremly ignorant.

Ignore atahar....... He's one hell of a biased commentator.

 

[Ind_Yeah]

Yeah, they are even more cliche-filled and useless than Sanjay Manjrekar and Arun Lal. That takes some doing.

 

[Ind_Yeah]

The much overrated "Mash" eating balls. But he has to ensure that at least they bat the full 50.

Oops spoke too soon. He's gawn. Bangla underachieving with the bat inspite of Afghan's poor fielding and dropped catches. Still seems they have a Par total. Afghan will rely heavily on roly-poly for a successful chase.

 

[HitWicket]

Is the outfield usually this dodgy here? The Afghani fielders are digging up huge holes with their feet by just slowing down when running.

 

[Ind_Yeah]

Ignore atahar....... He's one hell of a biased commentator.

You seem to be well acquainted with even the faceless Bangles Commentators. Waah! Eat some muloghonto and celebrate not getting bowled out before 50 overs by the Afghans!

 

[GenericBrand]

Its been raining past few days, and there was drizzle earlier in the innings. Not going to be easy batting here.

 

[TestCricketFanatic]

Atahar faceless? He has been around for a long long time. I doubt anyone on PakPassion isn't familiar with him.

 

[Prince_]

Sure an "Indian" with delusions about Bangladesh superiority in cricket. And super-touchy when it comes to any criticism of Bang cricket team. Yeah. I've got a bridge in Brooklyn to sell too...

It's not a delusion, their superiority in limited overs Cricket has already been accepted by all the cricket experts. And I wholeheartedly agree with them. Do u know If Bangla win this series it will their 5th conservative series win in limited overs Cricket. That's some achievement, isn't it.



But no point in explaining these facts to u since U usually form ur opinion based on ur imagination.....

 

[Prince_]

Atahar faceless? He has been around for a long long time. I doubt anyone on PakPassion isn't familiar with him.

Don't take Ind_Yeah seriously. Atahar is a pretty well known commentator....... We have his smiley too......... But then again I don't expect Ind_Yeh to know that

 

[Ind_Yeah]

Atahar faceless? He has been around for a long long time. I doubt anyone on PakPassion isn't familiar with him.

Who is this atahar patahar guy? I don't know him...

 

[Executioner]

Damp outfield and overcast

250+ chase will be difficult

 

[Shafi]

Afghanistan's first target should be crossing 100!!!! Chasing above 150 is beyond their limit.

 

[TestCricketFanatic]

Who is this atahar patahar guy? I don't know him...

Hahaha sounds like you have very little knowledge about cricket. Every cricket fan in the world knows who Atahar is. He is like the face of Bangladesh cricket, just like Ranjit Fernando is for Sri Lanka.

 

[Shafi]

Afghanistan is currently playing pretty good cricket but sadly they r still not good enough to win against this Bangla team in limited overs Cricket.

But yes u r correct about the fact that Afghanistan will comparatively give much tougher time to Bangla.............at least Bangla won't win as easily as they won against Pakistan

Yeah!!! If its not BCCI politics Bangladesh would have won 2015 50 overs World Cup and 2016 T20 World Cup

 

[Ind_Yeah]

Hahaha sounds like you have very little knowledge about cricket. Every cricket fan in the world knows who Atahar is. He is like the face of Bangladesh cricket, just like Ranjit Fernando is for Sri Lanka.

Fernando, yes. Only Bangla commie I know of is that fake accent Ather ali character... the guy who gets so excited when Bangla does well that he forgets how to talk in complete sentences...

 

[TestCricketFanatic]

Only Bangla commie I know of is that fake accent Ather ali character... the guy who gets so excited when Bangla does well that he forgets how to talk in complete sentences...

Yes that's whom we are talking about.

 

[Crafty_Indian]

Hoping for a competitive match above all & BEST OF LUCK to both the teams.

 

[Prince_]

I won't say that it was due to BCCI politics....... Let's say they were quite unlucky in 2015 odi WC. Few decisions went against them........ Sometimes it happens.

But yes u r right about the fact that if those decisions had gone in favor of bangla, they could've gone I into the semifinal of the last odi WC or even final.

 

[Mainul]

Hoping for a competitive match above all & BEST OF LUCK to both the teams.

I may be wrong. 265 seems to be too much a total for Afghanistan.But i will be happy if we get a competitive match here.

 

[Prince_]

Mushfiq was trying to fool the umpire

 

[Crafty_Indian]

Any of my Afghani friends on here who could shed a bit of light on their batting mainstays??

 

[Prince_]

Imrul u dumb

 

[aloo paratha]

Dropped him

 

[AFG_Brit]

Any of my Afghani friends on here who could shed a bit of light on their batting mainstays??

alot will depend on shehzad, nabi and najibullah zadran. rest of the batting apart from the captain are new players so you never know.

 

[Shafi]

People always attack the weaker one!!!!! Before they used to do same thing with Bangladesh

 

[Shafi]

This Shehzad guy is too unfit and looks like a slogger!!!!!

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Any of my Afghani friends on here who could shed a bit of light on their batting mainstays??

Keep an eye on Hashmatullah and Rehmat Shah. They are not dashers and sloggers.
