Bangladesh beat India by 79 runs In 1st ODI

[Lurker_Ind]

Mushfiq needs to settle down. He has a habit of celebrating even before the dismissal happens.

For Mushfiqs defense, the ball is seaming around and is flying past the edge very very quickly. He might not be used to this keeping in Bangladesh conditions.

 

[tonmoy]

Pathetic cheating by banhles

I didnt see it... but by reading it, it seems shameful...

 

[BaaliSoda]

There were quite few heated moments between Indian openers and BD fielders already in this game. That run out attempt/appeal only makes it worse.

 

[shaz619]

Unfortunately that average 27 will soon became 30 and then perhaps 35 after 1 year. You should go and check junaid's average after 2013. Wahab Riaz has a bowling average of 29.83 i.e. almost 30. But we all know wahab is miles better than Junaid in every format of the game.

And the difference between, bowling average of 27 to that of 31, is not as high as you making it.

Okay Junaid is going to average 35-40 in a few years time given your prophecy so you are using your prophecy which is completely irrelevant to justify Mohit's average of 31? your posts reek of bitterness and insecurity tbh you must be a CSK fan

 

[BaaliSoda]

Mashrafe is in the middle of an excellent spell where he looks like could snatch a wicket or two, every over that he bowls.

 

[Ahson8]

Incidents like these is why everyone hates Bangladesh...

 

[shaz619]

In today's era 30 odd average isn't that bad.

Especially for a country like us.

Mohit's skill is in getting the ball to the seam around a bit after pitching. Doesn't swing the ball much. That's why in first class he averages 22.

Mohit in the recent times has been reliable (for a team like India) without being spectacular. That's why when he flops as in today, it looks pathetic and makes one feel like he is useless.

He is not great or good or one for the future but he has his utility at times and was used as that option only. Only if he develops, he has any hope of being in the team in the future.

I just don't think he belongs at the international level yes he was effective in the 2011 world cup but don't really know the logic in selecting him now he only bowled 4.4 overs today as well, it should be a national tragedy when Mohit is selected over bowlers like Ishant and Varun Arron

Mohit was never part of 2011 WC team

 

[Bullet Drive]

If India or SA lose even 1 game out of their 6 games, it would harm Pakistan a LOT.

So go INDIA!

You mean 2015 WC right?

Aaron on paper looks all hunky dory but Mohit was more effective in the field in the last 2 years.

Right now, strategy should change. Mohit served his purpose. I am not keen on him either.

But I feel Indian bowling with Aaron and Umesh in the same lineup is risky. One day they will wreak havoc and another day lose you the game. They haven't matured as bowlers yet.

Bhuvi, Shami and Yadav/Aaron for me.

 

[nish_mate]

Mohit never debuted till 2013????

 

[Lurker_Ind]

Dhawan seems to have been shaken after that catch drop by Raheem. He looks very suspect of the ball and not going for his shots.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Bd gifting match to india with poor fielding.

 

[shaz619]

So go INDIA!

Even if Pak drop ranking points ICC will find a way to allow them to play if the ECB apply a bit of pressure; the ticket sales would he seriously effected at the gate in places like Edgbaston, Headingly etc no one in Eng turns up to watch BD play heck my bengali mates pay to see Pakistan although BD has been doing well in recent times so maybe they'd come out in their numbers to watch them play in the champions trophy but even then Pakistanis and Indians in their huge numbers are the driving force behind ticket sales. Imagine the loss Edgbaston would make if the group games of BD are played instead of Pak for example

 

[Ahson8]

what happened?

Mashrafe Mortaza to Dhawan, no run, what an umpiring decision. He has given him out caught even before the catch is taken. And Rahim has dropped two in two overs. Poor spirit of cricket shown by the fielders here. First there is an inside edge involved here, and Rahim drops it. Tucker thinks it is taken, raises his finger, Dhawan begins to walk, and they try to run him out. They appeal too. Poor form. You can't run a batsman out when he has been given out mistakenly and is walking off

)

 

[dildilpak]

Very poor cricketing spirit by BD. First they claim a dropped catch of Dhawan and when the batsman is walking after the Umpire mistakenly gave him out, try to run him out.

 

[Captain_Obvious]

Mushfiqur baccha hi reh gaya )

 

[Mp812]

As if junaid had diapers to save him from shame, when he was getting pounding of his life time against the same bangladeshi batsman, barely a month ago. Love your jokes

You dont get it. Do you? Here are some simple facts of life you should know
1)Indian batters score well : It was flat track
2) Indian bowlers well : Wickets were gifted by batters. However incase it was Pakistani bowler ...it was devastating bowling
3) Indian batters score in Australia , NZ, SA , England : BCCI doctored pitches becuase they have money.
4) India wins World cup or Champions trophy.: BCCI brought it using their $$$. Perhaps in 2015 they were short of cash. But in 2011,2013 they perhaps spent all their money buying trophies.

 

[nish_mate]

Should have got Sehwag for this series- would have put the BDers in their place firmly.

 

[Lurker_Ind]

Very poor cricketing spirit by BD. First they claim a dropped catch of Dhawan and when the batsman is walking after the Umpire mistakenly give him out, try to run him out.

They are desparate for a win here to get a chance to play Champions Trophy.

Bhuvi, Shami and Yadav/Aaron for me.

I keep on confusing Mohit with Munaf, both bowlers are quiet similar. That's my main point in that you don't need Mohit at this stage. They've not matured but are the future, that's definitely the attack I'd like to see; what has happened to Shami? injured?

 

[Enforcer]

Okay Junaid is going to average 35-40 in a few years time given your prophecy so you are using your prophecy which is completely irrelevant to justify Mohit's average of 31? your posts reek of bitterness and insecurity tbh you must be a CSK fan

Let me clear few things - 1) Junaid khan has constantly underperforming since 2013. I think two years is enough to judge a player if he has any class or not. So my prediction is not out of thin air.

2) Now coming to Mohit, i haven't claimed he is better than wahab or something. I have only said that since he had such a good record in 2015 WC in Australia, where pitches were not that supportive, it is unfair to say he is rubbish.

In the WC, what i have felt that Mohit is clearly better than any pakistani bowlers barring of course, Riaz. I dont know how my claim is ludicrous or am I missing something?

 

[asyed]

Mate when your international team doesnt have any names that the opp recognises as batters- how is that going to make them in awe? Only 3 names are recognised- hafeez/malik/sarfraz- rest of them havent made their bones.

They are inept sorry and extremely suspectible to pressure. Sorry when was the last time your batting bailed you out in an ODI?

Indeed, most of the players are new including skipper Azhad, Sami, Babar, Haris, Rizwan and Hammad etc. But this is given, because old veterans. Therefore, naturally you've to induct new blood.

As for the big names, yes, this team doesn't possess big name yet, but going forward you'll see these rookies making their names.

Lastly, for record, this squad has win the recent series against ZIM. Of curse.

 

[Boxer]

Bangla PM to give tell the press tomorrow India cheated or Bangla would have....

[Dee1990]

50 for Rohit!

 

[Executioner]

Pathetic that we bowled so well but our keeper dropped catches and created fumbles

 

[dildilpak]

They are desparate for a win here to get a chance to play Champions Trophy.

Through blatant cheating?

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

90/0 seems like a flat wicket

And i wish you and Pakistan best of luck with that. Be good to have a decent Pakistani batting line up, else the formula against Pakistan is very predictable- bat first score 270+, sit back and wait for them to implode.

All i am saying I am not sure which is more hopeless current Indian bowling line up or Pakistani batting line up-ODIs only.

In tests you have got a good batting unit.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Is he a good keeper overall? Looked really poor today

 

[Lurker_Ind]

Mushfiq should not be more than 5'3".

Rohit who is may be 5'9" standing next to him looks like a Giant

 

[zabalestmsm]

U can almost always tame India's bowling but u cant almost always tame India's batting!

 

[zabalestmsm]

90/0 seems like a flat wicket

Bowlers aren't good equally!

 

[Dee1990]

They showed a stat earlier that since 2000, India has had to chase 300+ scores 44 times the highest for any team! Wow our bowling sucks hardcore!

 

[asyed]

frankly speaking, top 4 batting spots are not a worry, it's lower middle order, which is a concern and it's WIP. That's the reason Malik is back and he's performed .

As for Indian bowling vs Pakistan batting, both should be given full credit when they do good.

 

[Justcrazy]

easy win for India here

 

[Lurker_Ind]

Bowlers aren't good equally!

They bowled well. They get a lot of movement and troubled both the batsmen.

Indian batsmen simply weathered the storm and now they got their eye in.

 

[zabalestmsm]

Indian collapse about to commence?

 

[Lurker_Ind]

Dhawan's misery comes to an end. Struggling badly since Mushfiq put down his catch.

 

[zabalestmsm]

Bowled well is another thing, mate!

If you have been following Pakistan ODI cricket, you might have noticed that their batting is shaping up to become quite decent but their bowling which is a cause of concern now.

In the WC, what i have felt that Mohit is clearly better than any pakistani bowlers barring of course, Riaz. I dont know how my claim is ludicrous or am I missing something?

Okay how is your prediction relevant to Mohit Sharma in anyway? so you are basically saying oh junaid is crap or is going to be crap so it's okay for Mohit to be crap. Firstly Junaid is irrelevant to the discussion, since you bought him up I'd say he is far superior (sure he hasn't been in the best of form but am looking at each bowler overall) then Mohit so your initial point doesn't really stand when it comes to trying to justify Mohit's ability. So Mohit would get into the WC 2015 Pak team ahead of Irfan, Sohail, Rahat and Riaz? I wouldn't if i had the choice when deciding my squad for the WC it would be a joke selection. The conditions in Australia are better then the subcontinent

 

[Boxer]

out

 

[Boxer]

What an over the top celebration by Taskin, these BD players are pathetic

let 'em celebrate till it lasts

 

[Executioner]

BTW, it was unsporty of us to do what our fielders did. Probably was because of the heat of the moment.

But knowing Mashrafe, he would have called the batsman back anyways.

 

[BaaliSoda]

Dhawan despite being there for nearly an hour and half never looked comfortable. Fishing left, right and center.

Need a confidence boosting performance frrm recently out of form (in intnl games) Kohli.

 

[Executioner]

What an over the top celebration by Taskin, these BD players are pathetic

How is it pathetic? He is a 20 year old kid who gets excited really easily. Very much passionate about his own performance

 

[Lurker_Ind]

Out of Form Kohli to come in now.

The last time he played a decent knock was against Pak in WC. After that for the next 6 or 7 ODI's, he struggled.

 

[Justcrazy]

sharma

 

[Lurker_Ind]

Rohit might be the biggest Minnow basher that India has ever produced.

 

[asyed]

If you have been following Pakistan ODI cricket, you might have noticed that their batting is shaping up to become quite decent but their bowling which is a cause of concern now.

I concur, and that's why I said in the beginning. Bowling should be getting better too with Amir making his way into XI soon. Also, unfit bowlers getting in better shape as well, including, Irfan, Rahat, Adil and Sohail. K

 

[Boxer]

with Smith, Root and Williamson piling up runs lets see what Kohli can do

 

[Justcrazy]

Desh needs some more wickets

 

[#GreenRoars]

now BD need some more quick wickets

 

[zabalestmsm]

Whenever I see Kohli bat, reminds me of Ponting! In some moments his batting style resembles Ponting's! Especially when hitting a pull shot and his brisk walk on pitch for tapping the pitch with the bat!

 

[Executioner]

Kuhli gone

 

[BaaliSoda]

Kohli's nightmare continues, so is Taskin's awesome performance against India!

 

[zabalestmsm]

The crowd has gone berserk! What an atmosphere!

 

[leatherface58]

Wow kohli what a terrible performance.

Sohail was one match wonder, the less we say about irfan's fitness the better, Rahat is nothing special, may be a good bowler but as an ODI cricketer he lacked basic skills, only Riaz is better and better by miles. So yes mohit can walk into pakistan team. Remember apart from Bowler Mohit is a terrific fielder too.

 

[shehwar]

The big fish is gone! Taskin!!!!!

 

[Lurker_Ind]

Kohli is badly put of form.

Chasing a wide delivery and nicking.

 

[Abhilash93]

Kohlis bad form continues!

 

[BaaliSoda]

Rohit is still the key for India. If he stays till 40th over then we should win this game.

 

[Bullet Drive]

NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Really wanted to see Kohli bat.

Come on Indiaaa

 

[Boxer]

Taskin on a roll, listen to the crowd

 

[Dee1990]

Kohli is getting out in ways which make him look like an amateur these days.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Taskin copying shoaib akhtar's celebration style.

 

[Stallion__]

Kohli = Bunny of Bangladeshi bowlers?

 

[Bullet Drive]

Come on.....

still we got the best ever ODI cricketer to come in Dhoni.....

 

[zabalestmsm]

This Taskin has got good pace!

 

[Bullet Drive]

Btw I have seen Kohli get out so many times like that.

 

[cricketindiafan]

Kohli's average form continues. Steep decline in ODI form. Not sure if he even wants to play under Dhoni any longer.

^*being a bowler

wickets is the key here.
